The Motorola Edge 60s: A Mid-Range Marvel or Just Another Overhyped Gadget?
Tech junkies, brace yourselves—Motorola’s latest offering, the *Edge 60s*, is gearing up to hit Bangladesh in May 2025, and the hype train is already at full speed. But let’s be real: in a market drowning in shiny rectangles that promise to “revolutionize your life,” does this thing actually stand out, or is it just another slab of glass begging for your paycheck? As your resident spending sleuth (and recovering retail drone), I’ve dug through the specs, the marketing fluff, and the *seriously* optimistic price tags to see if this phone deserves a spot in your cart—or if it’s destined for the discount bin.

The Spec Sheet Sleuthing: What’s Under the Hood?
First, the numbers game. The *Edge 60s* struts in with a single variant: 12GB RAM paired with either 256GB or 512GB storage. That’s *decent* for a mid-ranger, though let’s not pretend it’s groundbreaking when even budget phones are flirting with 8GB these days. The real star here is the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset, built on a 4nm process. Translation? It’s efficient enough to handle your *Candy Crush* addiction and *TikTok* doomscrolling without melting into a puddle—a win for battery life, which we’ll get to.
But here’s the kicker: it runs Android 15 out of the box. *Finally*, a brand that isn’t shipping phones with software older than your thrift-store Levi’s. Still, let’s see how long those updates last before Motorola ghosts you like a bad Tinder date.

Battery Life: The Hero We Need (or Just Another Li-Po Letdown?)
The *Edge 60s* packs a 5500mAh battery with 68W fast charging—a combo that sounds *almost* too good to be true. Motorola claims it’ll last all day, but let’s be honest: “all day” means wildly different things to a casual scroller versus a *Genshin Impact* addict. The 68W charging is a nice touch, though. Plug it in during your morning coffee, and boom—enough juice to survive your commute.
But here’s the real question: how’s that battery health after a year? If it degrades faster than my patience at a Black Friday sale, then what’s the point? *Seriously*, brands need to stop treating batteries like disposable lighters.

Screen & Build: Pretty to Look At, But Can It Survive Reality?
The 6.67-inch P-OLED display is *chef’s kiss*—QHD+ resolution, vibrant colors, and those deep blacks that make Netflix binges feel cinematic. Gorilla Glass 7i should fend off keys and accidental drops, but let’s not test it, yeah? At 180 grams and a sleek 8.2mm profile, it’s comfortable to hold, though the silicone polymer back might as well scream “please buy a case.”
Design-wise, it’s… fine. Not *revolutionary*, not *ugly*—just another glass sandwich in a world full of them. But hey, at least it’s not another iPhone clone.

Cameras: Because Everyone’s a Photographer Now
The triple-camera setup includes a 50MP main shooter, a 10MP telephoto, and a 50MP ultra-wide. On paper, that’s *solid* for the price, but let’s not pretend it’ll dethrone a Pixel or Galaxy. Daytime shots? Probably crisp. Low light? *Eh*, we’ll see. The 32MP front camera is *fine* for selfies, though no amount of megapixels can fix my questionable life choices.
Motorola’s software tweaks might salvage mediocre lighting, but if you’re expecting DSLR-quality shots, maybe just… buy a DSLR?

The Price Tag: Bang for Your Taka, or Just Bang Overpriced?
Here’s where things get *spicy*. The *Edge 60s* is expected to land between BDT 52,030 and BDT 60,500 in Bangladesh. For context, that’s firmly in “mid-range-plus” territory—cheaper than a flagship, but still enough to make your wallet side-eye you.
Is it worth it? Depends. If you’re upgrading from a potato phone, *maybe*. But if you’re already rocking something from the last two years, this ain’t the quantum leap you’re hoping for.

Verdict: Should You Bite, or Wait for the Next Big Thing?
The *Motorola Edge 60s* is… *good*. Not *mind-blowing*, not *disappointing*—just *good*. It checks the boxes: decent performance, a gorgeous screen, and a battery that *should* last. But in a market where “good” is the bare minimum, it’s hard to get excited.
If you’re due for an upgrade and crave that sweet spot between price and specs, this could be your guy. But if you’re holding out for *the one*? Maybe keep waiting. After all, in tech, tomorrow’s *next big thing* is always around the corner—and your money isn’t going anywhere.
