Motorola has announced the launch of two new smartphones, the motorola razr 60 and motorola edge 60 pro, in Australia.
Both devices showcase updated features, enhanced artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, and improvements in hardware and design compared to previous models.
Device features
The motorola razr 60 is engineered for compactness and durability, featuring a titanium-reinforced hinge that is reported to be up to four times stronger than surgical-grade stainless steel. The device’s foldable design includes a 3.6-inch external display that allows access to apps without unfolding the phone. Durability testing indicates the razr 60 can withstand up to 35% more folds than its predecessor.
The new Air Gesture feature on the razr 60 enables users to start, stop, and pause video recording with hand movements, supporting hands-free selfies and content creation. The camera system comprises a 50MP main sensor with optical image stabilisation (OIS), a 13MP ultrawide and macro vision lens, and a 32MP front-facing camera. The razr 60 is also one of the first foldable smartphones to include a Pantone-validated display and camera.
The motorola edge 60 pro is designed with high-performing users in mind, equipped with a quad-camera system incorporating a Sony LYTIA sensor, a MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Extreme chipset, and 12GB of RAM. The device has a 6.7-inch pOLED HDR10+ display with a peak brightness of 4,500 nits. It offers a battery capacity of 6,000mAh, supports 90W TurboPower fast charging, and has received the Gold Label in battery performance from DXOMARK, along with a top global ranking for smartphone battery endurance.
The edge 60 pro also prioritises device endurance, featuring military-grade durability and IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance. Its display supports DCI-P3 wide colour range and Pantone-curated colours.
AI capabilities
Both devices are equipped with Motorola’s moto ai, which includes features such as Next Move and Playlist Studio. Moto ai is designed to assist users by providing real-time, contextual suggestions based on on-screen content. For example, Next Move can prompt users to save event dates or generate personalised images inspired by an activity. Moto ai is also involved in improving camera performance and supports Google Circle to Search and Gemini Live functionalities.
Praveena Raman, Country General Manager for Australia and New Zealand said, “We’re proud to continue leading the flip phone category and beyond, with devices that aren’t just well designed, but also smart – they bring meaningful AI features to Australians, that genuinely enhance daily life. Whether it’s anticipating your next move, generating the perfect playlist, or summarising your day, we’ve made sure moto ai1 genuinely makes life easier.”
In discussing the distinct qualities of the new launches, Raman also stated, “Additionally, the motorola razr 60 is a perfect example of how we’re combining iconic design with intelligent innovation, delivering a foldable experience that’s functional and fashionable, while the motorola edge 60 pro follows the success of its predecessor, featuring AI-powered enhancements and a refined design that lives up to our promise: every detail considered, every angle covered.”
