Motorola has just introduced the Edge 60 Fusion, the first device in its highly anticipated midrange Edge 60 series, and it’s receiving attention for an exciting twist—a faux-canvas finish that transforms a smartphone into a piece of art. Priced at an attractive £299.99 (approximately $390), the Edge 60 Fusion marries affordability with unique design.

The showstopper here is undoubtedly the canvas-effect finish available exclusively in the “amazonite” teal color. In addition to this artistic option, the phone will also be offered in sleek blue and pink alternatives, which feature a stylish faux leather finish. All models come with impressive IP68 and 69 ratings, providing comprehensive protection against dust, water immersion, and even high-pressure sprays—perfect for those who lead an active lifestyle.

While the aesthetic appeal is undeniable, how does the Edge 60 Fusion perform on the tech front? In the UK, it boasts a remarkably slim profile of less than 8mm, made possible by the integration of a robust 5,200mAh battery within its expansive 6.67-inch OLED display. For those in other regions, a variant with a more powerful 5,500mAh battery may be available, though it does add some additional thickness.

Under the hood, the Edge 60 Fusion is equipped with up to 12GB of RAM and offers storage options as high as 512GB. However, it’s important to note that the phone is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity chipset, either 7300 or 7400, which doesn't quite compete with higher-end processors. The camera setup, while appearing versatile with four lenses on the back, only includes a 50-megapixel main sensor and a 13-megapixel ultrawide accessory, as two of the back units are dedicated to flash and flicker sensing.

This launch marks only the beginning. Motorola aims to expand the Edge 60 lineup, following the five models released in last year's Edge 50 series, though it appears American consumers will once again miss out, as previous iterations were also not made available. Instead, those in the US will need to consider January's $299.99 Moto G Power. While it omits the Fusion's OLED screen and artistic aesthetic, it does offer wireless charging functionality.

In exciting news for Motorola fans, the company is rumored to be gearing up to unveil updated Razr flip phones soon. Speculation suggests these new devices may feature a nostalgic wooden finish, reminiscent of the classic 2014 Moto X.

In summation, the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion is making waves with its distinctive design and solid internals, setting the stage for a renaissance in midrange smartphones. Will you be making the switch to this canvas-inspired tech marvel? Stay tuned!
