Motorola H60 Pro Mid Range Smartphone

  Motorola H60 Pro The Ultimate Mid Range Smartphone

Motorola has consistently been a brand to watch. With their latest offering, the Motorola H60 Pro, they've raised the bar for mid range devices in 2025. Packed with features typically reserved for flagship models, this phone promises to deliver exceptional value for money. But does it live up to the hype? What makes the H60 Pro a potential game changer in the smartphone market.

Design and Build Familiar Yet Refined

Motorola has stuck to its guns with the H60 Pro's design, maintaining the signature fused camera module on a vegan leather back. This year's model, however, introduces a nylon like texture that enhances grip and feels premium to the touch. The Pantone Dazzling Blue color option adds a touch of sophistication, although it may not be as   dazzling   as the name suggests.

One notable change is the switch from a metal frame to a plastic one  a cost cutting measure that allows Motorola to pack in more high end features without inflating the price. Despite this, the phone boasts an impressive IP69 rating, Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection, and military standard 810G certification, ensuring durability in various conditions.

Display Embracing the Curve

The H60 Pro features what Motorola calls an   all true curved display  a 6.7 inch P OLED panel with curves on all four sides and corners. While this design choice may not appeal to flat screen enthusiasts, Motorola has done an excellent job minimizing ghost touches through software optimization.

The display itself is a powerhouse, offering

1.5K resolution

120Hz refresh rate

4,500 nits peak brightness

100% DCI P3 color gamut support

Pantone color and skin tone validation

These specs translate to a visually stunning experience, especially when viewing HDR content. The natural color mode, in particular, showcases the display's color accuracy and neutral skin tones.

A Leap Forward to Performance

Under the hood, the H60 Pro packs a MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Extreme processor, paired with either 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB or 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. This combination delivers a significant performance boost over its predecessor, the H50 Pro.

In benchmark tests, the H60 Pro outperforms competitors like the OPPO Reno 13 and comes close to the Realme P3 Ultra. Real world performance is smooth, with only occasional micro stutters that could likely be ironed out with future software updates.

Gaming performance is impressive, with Genshin Impact running at an average of 53.5 FPS at the highest settings. More importantly, the phone manages to keep temperatures in check, never exceeding 40°C during intense gaming sessions.

A Powerhouse Photography Camera System

The H60 Pro boasts a versatile camera setup

50MP Sony Litia 700C main sensor

50MP ultra wide camera

10MP 3x telephoto lens

50MP selfie camera

This hardware configuration is unmatched in its price range, and Motorola has made significant strides in software processing as well. The primary camera captures excellent details with natural colors and impressive HDR performance. The ultra wide and telephoto lenses are solid performers, although there's room for improvement in color consistency across all cameras.

Video capabilities have seen a major upgrade, with 4K 30fps recording available on all cameras, including the selfie shooter. Stabilization and HDR processing in videos are notably improved from previous models.

Battery and Charging Balancing Act

The H60 Pro features a 6,000mAh silicon carbon battery, which contributes to the phone's slim profile. While the 90W wired charging is a step down from the H50 Pro's 125W, it still delivers impressive charging speeds, going from 0 to 100% in just 53 minutes. The 15W wireless charging, while not the fastest, is a welcome addition at this price point.

Software and AI Hello UI Gets Smarter

Running on Android 15 with Motorola's Hello UI, the H60 Pro introduces Moto AI 2.0, a suite of AI powered features that enhance the user experience. Standout features include

Update Me AI generated notification summaries

Image Studio AI image generation and editing tools

Remember This Enhanced screenshot and note taking capabilities

Playlist Studio AI curated playlists (currently Amazon Music exclusive)

Next Move Contextual AI suggestions based on your activities

These AI features, along with the integration of Perplexity and Copilot, make the H60 Pro one of the most intelligent mid range smartphones available.

A Mid Range Marvel

The Motorola H60 Pro is a testament to how far mid range smartphones have come. Priced at just $299, it offers a combination of features, performance, and AI capabilities that were unthinkable in this price range just a year ago. While there are minor compromises, such as the plastic frame and some software quirks, the overall package is incredibly compelling.

For users looking for a high performance, feature rich smartphone without breaking the bank, the Motorola H60 Pro should be at the top of their list. It sets a new standard for what we can expect from mid range devices and leaves us wondering how Motorola will top this with next year's model.
