The mid-range smartphone segment in India has undergone a quiet revolution, and the Motorola Edge 60 Pro is a shining example of that transformation. Priced at just under Rs 30,000, it’s neither a bargain-basement budget device nor a full-fledged premium phone — instead, it strikes a compelling balance that caters to value-conscious consumers who still crave performance, design, and reliability.
There was a time, not long ago, when recommending a phone under Rs 30,000 was difficult. The options felt underwhelming, lacking polish, and often cut corners in crucial areas like cameras or display quality. My standard advice to friends and family used to be: “Increase your budget, and then we’ll talk.” And honestly, that wasn’t being snobbish — the market simply didn’t offer many great choices in that segment.
But the landscape has shifted dramatically over the past year. Brands like Motorola, OnePlus, and iQOO are now seriously competing in the mid-range category, bringing features that were once exclusive to higher-end models. The Motorola Edge 60 Pro is a case in point.
It boasts a sleek design, a vibrant 144Hz pOLED display, and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip — enough to handle gaming, multitasking, and everyday use with ease. The software experience is another standout, with Motorola’s near-stock Android UI offering a clean, bloat-free interface. Add to that the promise of timely updates, and you have a user experience that rivals even some flagship devices.
The camera setup, led by a 50MP main sensor, delivers impressive results in daylight and performs reasonably well in low light, especially for this price bracket. Battery life is solid, and with 125W fast charging, you won’t be tethered to a wall for long.
In short, the Motorola Edge 60 Pro doesn’t feel like a compromise. It feels like a smart choice — especially for those unwilling to shell out Rs 50,000 or more. The mid-range market is no longer a dead zone; it’s now a space filled with fan(tastic) contenders, and Motorola is leading the charge.
