Motorola just launched the Edge 60 in Japan, pairing a flagship‑grade display and camera with the brand’s new Moto AI suite and native FeliCa support. Priced at ¥45,800 on UQ mobile, the phone delivers a 6.7‑inch 120 Hz OLED, a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset, and a 5,200 mAh battery that charges at 68 W. If you want a high‑end feel without a premium price, this model is worth a closer look.
Key Specs and Performance
Display
The Edge 60 features a 6.7‑inch OLED panel with a 2712 × 1220 px resolution. It supports a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, and peaks at 4,500 nits, making it bright enough for direct sunlight. Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protects the screen, and the “water‑touch” feature lets you swipe with wet fingers without ghost inputs.
Processor and Memory
Under the hood sits a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 SoC, paired with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of UFS storage. A micro‑SD slot expands capacity up to 1 TB, giving power users plenty of space for media and apps.
Battery and Charging
A 5,200 mAh battery powers the device, and 68 W wired fast charging tops it up in under 50 minutes. While wireless charging isn’t included, the rapid‑charge speed keeps downtime to a minimum.
Camera System
The Edge 60 mirrors the Pro model’s camera hardware:
- 50 MP main sensor (Sony LYTIA 700C)
- 50 MP ultra‑wide/macro module
- 10 MP telephoto lens with 3× optical zoom
- 50 MP front‑facing camera
AI‑driven features include adaptive OIS, natural‑tone portrait mode, a photo‑enhancement engine, interval shooting, auto night mode, and 4K video recording.
AI Features
Motorola’s Moto AI suite runs directly on the device. It can summarize notifications into a quick‑list, transcribe and translate voice memos, retrieve saved web snippets, and even generate images from text prompts. These tools aim to streamline daily tasks, so you’ll spend less time toggling between apps.
Unique Japanese Features
The phone supports FeliCa (おサイフケータイ), enabling contactless payments on Japan’s transit and retail networks. It also works with au Starlink Direct, expanding NFC capabilities beyond the carrier’s own ecosystem.
Pricing and Availability
UQ mobile sells the Edge 60 for ¥45,800. Discounts are available for MNP users, new‑contract customers, and device‑upgrade buyers, bringing the price down to as low as ¥11,047 in special cases. A 24‑month installment plan spreads the cost to roughly ¥460 per month.
Bottom Line
The Motorola Edge 60 delivers a bright, fast display, a versatile camera stack, and on‑device AI tools at a mid‑range price. Its FeliCa integration meets a core Japanese requirement, and the robust hardware ensures smooth performance. If you’re hunting a capable all‑rounder without breaking the bank, the Edge 60 is a strong contender.
