Motorola Edge 60 Stylus (2026): Launch Date, Expected Price in India, Stylus Features, Full Specs, Display, Processor, Camera, Battery & Charging, Variants, Colours & Availability

For years, if you wanted a phone with a “stick” inside it, you had two choices: spend over ₹1 Lakh on a Samsung Ultra or settle for a laggy, entry-level Moto G series. The real truth is that the bridge between “affordable” and “productivity” has always been broken.

Enter the Motorola Edge 60 Stylus. Launched at an aggressive starting price of ₹18,990, this device aims to be the “Poor Man’s Galaxy Ultra.” It brings a premium pOLED 1.5K display, IP68 water resistance, and a built-in stylus to a price bracket dominated by generic gaming phones. But is it a genuine productivity tool or just a mid-range phone with a gimmick shoved into the bottom? Let’s find out.

1. QUICK SPECS TABLE

2. DESIGN & BUILD (Deep Dive)

Motorola has been winning the design game lately, and the Edge 60 Stylus is no exception.

• In-Hand Feel: At 191 grams, it has a reassuring heft without being a brick. The Vegan Leather back (available in Pantone colors) isn’t just for show—it provides a grip that glass phones simply can’t match.
• The Stylus Silo: Tucked into the bottom right, the stylus pops out with a satisfying click. It’s a capacitive stylus, meaning no battery or Bluetooth, but it’s integrated seamlessly.
• Durability: Unlike most “style” phones, this is a tank. It’s IP68 rated (can survive 1.5m underwater for 30 mins) and carries MIL-STD-810H military-grade certification. You can use this in the rain or drop it on a trail without having a heart attack.
• The “Legacy” Bonus: Surprisingly, Motorola kept the 3.5mm headphone jack—a rare sight in the “Edge” series but a blessing for those who hate dongles.

3. DISPLAY & VISUALS

The screen is arguably the best part of this package. We’re looking at a 6.7-inch 1.5K pOLED panel.

• Sharpness: With a resolution of 1220 x 2712, text looks crisp, making it ideal for the stylus-based note-taking it’s designed for.
• Brightness: Motorola claims 3000 nits peak brightness. In our outdoor test under the harsh 2:00 PM Indian sun, the display remained perfectly readable.
• Colors: Being a 10-bit panel, the colors pop. However, don’t waste your money if you are a hardcore Netflix HDR geek—the phone lacks official HDR10+ certification for some streaming apps, though the hardware is technically capable.
• Aqua Touch: This feature allows you to use the screen even when it’s wet. If you’re caught in a monsoon drizzle, the screen won’t go haywire with “ghost touches.”

4. PERFORMANCE & GAMING

This is where the “Edge” name feels a bit stretched.

• The Processor: The Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 is a reliable mid-range chip, but by 2026 standards, it’s showing its age. In daily tasks—scrolling Instagram, taking notes, or switching between 10 Chrome tabs—it’s butter smooth.
• Gaming: Don’t expect “Ultra” settings on BGMI or Genshin Impact. In our stress test, BGMI ran comfortably at Smooth + Extreme (60 FPS), but we noticed slight frame drops after 40 minutes of gameplay.
• Storage Speed: The use of UFS 2.2 is a disappointment. Rivals are moving to UFS 3.1, which means app installation and large file transfers on the Moto are slightly slower.

5. CAMERA ANALYSIS

The camera setup is “Quality over Quantity.” No useless 2MP depth sensors here.

• Main Sensor: The 50MP Sony LYTIA 700C with OIS is a stellar performer. Photos in daylight have a “natural” look with excellent dynamic range. The OIS helps significantly in low-light, though images can sometimes look over-sharpened by the AI.
• Ultrawide: The 13MP sensor also doubles as a Macro lens. It’s much better than the dedicated 2MP macro trash found on other phones.
• Selfies: The 32MP front camera is social-media ready. It handles skin tones well without making you look like a porcelain doll.

6. BATTERY & ENDURANCE

• The Drain Test: The 5000mAh battery is a marathon runner. In a typical “Indian usage” day (3 hours of YouTube, 2 hours of calling, constant WhatsApp, and some stylus doodling), we ended the day with 30% remaining.
• Charging: The 68W TurboPower charger is included in the box.
  • 0-50%: 18 Minutes.
  • 0-100%: ~42 Minutes.
• Wireless Bonus: It supports 15W wireless charging. While slow, it’s a luxury feature that no other phone in the sub-20k segment offers.

Motorola Edge 60 Stylus vs Nothing Phone (3a) vs iQOO Z10

The Winner: If you want raw gaming power, the iQOO Z10 wins. If you want aesthetics, go for Nothing. But for utility, durability, and value, the Motorola Edge 60 Stylus is the clear winner at its lower price point.

• You are a student or professional who takes quick notes and hates carrying a diary.
