Motorola has always pushed the limits with its Edge series, offering premium smartphones with competitive prices.
After the success of the Edge 50 series, which impressed by its design, its camera performance and its fast charge capacities, the Edge 60 series should refine these features while introducing innovations.
Here is everything we know so far.
When will the Motorola Edge 60 series be published?
Motorola has no output calendar defined for her EDGE flagship series, but previous launches provide clues.
The Motorola Edge 50 Ultra was announced on April 16, 2024 and became available for purchase on May 5, 2024. Likewise, the Edge 40 Pro was revealed and launched in April 2023.
Given this model, it is very likely that Motorola unveils the edge 60 Ultra, or at least one model of the Edge 60 series, in April or May 2025.
However, we do not know how many previous models will get a successor this year, because Motorola could omit some.
For the context, here is when the recent models were launched in Europe:
As usual, do not expect the Edge 60 series to be available in the United States, because Motorola does not sell its phones.
How much will the Motorola Edge 60 series cost?
The most powerful Edge 50 Ultra has seen a price increase of $ 100 compared to its predecessor, bringing its starting price to £ 849.99 $ for the 512 GB model. If Motorola follows the same pricing strategy, The EDGE 60 Ultra should also be launched at £ 849.99 / $ 999.
Despite the increase in prices, the flagship phones of Motorola remain more affordable than the competing models of Samsung and Google. In addition, Motorola frequently offers launch discounts, and the main transporters in the United Kingdom and the EU generally include promotions or bump transactions.
At this point, however, we do not know how the other devices in the series could cost. Expect at least at the same price as their predecessors:
What specifications and characteristics The Motorola Edge 60 series will have?
Although there is currently no information on most of the models expected in the series, Phone Arena has shared certain information on the EDGE 60 Ultra lighthouse.
Design
Motorola has established a reputation for daring and premium conceptions in its flagship models. The EDGE 50 Ultra included unique rear panel materials, including wood and vegan leather, which are likely to return with the EDGE 60 Ultra.
The frame will probably remain in aluminum to maintain a competitive price, because opt for stainless steel or titanium would considerably increase costs, making it improbable choices.

An expected improvement lies in the sustainability of the display, potentially to the upgrade of Gorilla Glass Vict at Gorilla Glass Vict 2. The overall design language must remain consistent, with a slim and curved profile which is comfortable to hold.
Display
Motorola has always delivered high quality screens, especially in its ultra series.
The EDGE 50 Ultra has a 1220 x 2712 resolution screen with a variable refresh rate of 144 Hz and a maximum brightness of 2,500 nits.

Since this display is already among the best in industry, the EDGE 60 Ultra can keep these specifications or introduce minor refinements.
Performance
The EDGE 50 Ultra was powered by the Snapdragon 8S Gen 3 chipset, a slightly less powerful variant of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
Although he delivered excellent performance, he was not entirely tied with the Samsung Galaxy S24 series, especially in graphics.
In our geekbench 6 multi-core test, the edge 50 Ultra only scored 5384 points, while the standard Galaxy S24 scored 6,251 points.

The EDGE 60 Ultra could either continue with the “S” variant of the flagship processor of Qualcomm to maintain lower costs or opt for the Snapdragon 8 elite in its own right for better performance.
The final decision will determine to what extent the system competes with other flagship phones in 2025.
Cameras
Motorola surprised a lot with the impressive performance of Edge 50 Ultra's camera, especially in motionless photography. However, the quality of video recording was an area that needed improvement.
The EDGE 60 Ultra can keep the same specifications of the camera as its predecessor, with a main camera of 50 Mp with OIS, an ultraid lens of 50 Mp with automatic, a telephoto of 64 MP with 3X zoom and Ois and Ois and Ois A 50 MP front camera with Autofocus.

Motorola could also introduce new image sensors to improve the sharpness, clarity and overall quality of the image.
Since HDR and stabilization were already strong in the edge of 50 Ultra, improvements in video recording can be a key goal.
Battery and load
The Solid Battery Life Edge 50 has delivered a solid battery thanks to its 4500mAh battery and an efficient chipset.
The phone was able to spend a day of 16 hours of moderate use, the screen increased up to 144 Hz fixed or 120 Hz, and ending with around 40 to 45%.
However, if the Edge 60 takes place at a more swallowed chipset, the battery life can suffer from it.

The load speeds will probably remain unchanged, with a 125 W wireless load and a wireless load of 50 W from the fastest available in 2025.
The 50 EDGE Ultra can be fully loaded in just 18 minutes.
Software
The Edge 60 series will almost certainly be launched with Android 15 and the new Hello UX, the Android skin of Motorola. It should bring a range of new features, including more Moto AI.
A concern is the software support, because the EDGE 50 Ultra has only received three years of Android updates and four years of security fixes.
Hopefully Motorola will increase support to four years of updates to the operating system and five years of security updates to correspond to industry trends.
