Motorola Edge 60 Neo and Moto G06: Great Cameras and Battery Life
Motorola has unveiled two new smartphones aimed at the mid-range and entry-level market in Mexico. Following their debut in Spain, the Motorola Edge 60 Neo is set to make its arrival in Mexico, accompanied by the recently launched Moto G06, which is already available through online stores, authorized retailers, and major operators across the country.
Continuing the trend established with its predecessor, Motorola has opted for a staggered launch of the Edge 60 family. The latest addition finds its place between the base model and the Fusion variant, characterized by a compact body and a camera system featuring the LYTIA sensor, which promises impressive performance in the mid-range category. Notably, this launch comes just days before the official debut of the Motorola Edge 70, touted as the world's thinnest smartphone to date.
In terms of design, the Motorola Edge 60 Neo shares many features with its predecessor. Unlike the Motorola Edge 60, the Neo variant does not have a curved-edge display but showcases a more squared design with aluminum frames. The back features a silicone finish inspired by sarga fabric or leather, giving it a premium look and feel.
Motorola Edge 60 Neo: The Most Balanced in the Family
The Motorola Edge 60 Neo boasts a 6.4-inch pOLED display with Super HD resolution (2670 x 1200 px), an adaptive refresh rate of 120 Hz, and a maximum brightness of 3,000 nits. Motorola promises cinematic colors with 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space and support for HDR10+. Additionally, the device features a Gorilla Glass 7i coating and military-grade certification to protect against drops and scratches.
The standout feature of this model is undoubtedly its camera system. The Edge 60 Neo integrates a triple-camera setup with the Sony LYTIA 700C sensor, including a 50 MP main camera, a 10 MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and a 13 MP ultra-wide-angle camera. It also features a Macro mode capable of capturing images just 3.5 cm away, alongside a 32 MP front camera with 30x Super Zoom capabilities.
Under the hood, the device houses a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 processor, with RAM options up to 24 GB (12 GB + 12 GB Boost), and a 5,000 mAh battery with 68 W TurboPower fast charging and 15 W wireless charging. Motorola claims that a mere 7-minute charge can provide a full day's worth of power, although it’s worth noting that the Mexico version does not include the 5,200 mAh battery seen in the global variant.
Moto G06: Great Battery Life and Performance Under 2,000 Pesos
For those seeking an entry-level smartphone, Motorola has introduced the Moto G06, featuring a 6.88-inch display and a robust 5,200 mAh battery. The manufacturer boasts that this model has the largest screen and battery in its category, offering decent performance and some AI-driven features typically found in premium devices.
If you’re looking to spend less than 2,000 pesos, the Moto G06 offers a HD+ display with Gorilla Glass 3 protection, IP64 certification against splashes, and Water Touch technology for use with wet fingers. Similar to its higher-end siblings, this smartphone supports a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, although it is not adaptive.
In terms of photography, the Moto G06 is equipped with a 50 MP main camera utilizing AI for enhanced image quality and an 8 MP front camera for selfies. While this model does not include the Moto AI suite, users can take advantage of Google Photos' AI editing tools to improve their shots.
The remaining specifications include a MediaTek Helio G81 Extreme processor, 4 GB of physical RAM plus 4 GB of RAM Boost, storage options up to 256 GB, and a battery that promises a full day of usage. Additionally, this model features a 3.5 mm headphone jack, a rarity in modern smartphones.
