Motorola’s gorgeous Edge 60 Fusion mid-ranger gets a few key specs and a launch date leaked

Remember how hot the unannounced Motorola Edge 60 Fusion looked in those super-high-quality promotional images last week? While the Android mid-ranger is still not out, its mass appeal is further boosted by a new X post today claiming to reveal a number of major features and characteristics, as well as an impending launch date for one of the world’s biggest smartphone markets.

Familiar but also vastly improved

The same essentially goes for the familiar-sounding cameras on the back and front of this upcoming mid-range Android handset, which brings me to a couple of potentially very nice surprises. Namely, it appears that the Edge 60 Fusion could raise its predecessor’s IP68 water and dust protection levels to an even more impressive IP69 rating while also adding military-grade durability to the equation.

That’s right, this absolute beaut of a “quad curved” mobile device is expected to handle the great outdoors remarkably well too, surviving not just water immersion for extended periods of time, but also powerful high-temperature water jets, extreme weather conditions, salt, vibration, and even the occasional drop on a hard surface.

Big battery, respectable processor, reasonable price point expected

Android users are rarely happy when a company decides to switch from a Qualcomm to a MediaTek chipset, but the Dimensity 7400 is unlikely to be a pushover, going official just last month with CPU clock speeds of up to 2.6GHz, “exceptional” energy efficiency, and native support for cutting-edge tools like Adaptive Gaming Technology 3.0 and “best-in-class” AI.

If history is any indication, I’m afraid that the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion is unlikely to officially go on sale in the US, targeting instead mainly European and Asian markets. On the old continent, this bad boy is expected to start at a recommended price of around €350 ($380 or so), while in India, the Edge 50 Fusion normally costs Rs. 25,999 ($300) in an entry-level variant, which could be true for the new mid-ranger next month as well.
