Best Performance Phone Under ₹60,000: What You Actually Get for the Money

[1] Battery capacity (typical vs. rated)

The typical capacity is 7100mAh. Typical value is the estimated average capacity of a batch of batteries based on internal testing, representing the expected performance under normal conditions. Rated capacity is 6890mAh. Rated capacity is the minimum guaranteed capacity of a battery under controlled conditions.

[2] IP69 & IP68 underwater protection

Tested under controlled laboratory conditions, the phone is water, splash, and dust resistant to ratings of IP68 and IP69 (IEC 60529). The phone can be submerged up to 1.5 meters in still, fresh water for up to 30 minutes, and is protected against powerful, high-temperature water jets for up to 30 seconds. Exposure to conditions beyond these ratings is not covered by warranty. Resistance will decrease as a result of normal wear. Not designed to work while submerged underwater. Do not expose to liquids other than fresh water. Do not attempt to charge a wet phone. Designed to provide protection against the ingress of solid foreign objects of any size. Not waterproof.

[3] Military-grade durability (MIL-STD-810H)

The U.S. Department of Defense’s MIL-SPEC standards establish methodologies for testing products against environmental stresses under controlled laboratory conditions. Motorola tests devices against hazardous physical and environmental conditions under select categories and procedures of the MIL-STD-810H standard to determine durability. Such testing is not a guarantee of future performance under these test conditions. The edge 70 max was tested against 16 categories and 14 MIL-STD-810H procedures to prove its toughness. Abuse, like that contained in MIL-STD 810H testing, is not covered under Motorola’s standard warranty.

[11] Battery

[ALL GEOS, EXCEPT EU] All battery life claims are approximate and based on the median user tested across a mixed use profile (which includes both usage and standby time) under optimal network conditions. Actual battery performance will vary and depends on many factors including signal strength, network and device settings, temperature, battery condition, and usage patterns.

[EU-ONLY] Measured according to EU Energy Label Regulation (EU) 2023/1669 (Lot X), Annex IV 'measurement and calculation method’, which may not be reflective of real world usage. Actual battery performance may be less and will vary based on many factors including signal strength, network and device settings, temperature, and battery condition.

[12] Battery specific use case

All battery life claims are approximate and based on continuous device use under optimal network conditions. Actual battery performance will vary and depends on many factors including signal strength, network and device settings, temperature, and battery condition.

[13] Charging: battery for the day in minutes

[APAC-only] Requires Motorola 90W TurboPower™ Charger; sold separately. Median users can get up to 12 hours of battery life in 8 minutes of charge. Higher chargers will not increase maximum charge capability. Battery must be substantially depleted; charge boost must be “on”; charging rate slows as charging progresses.

[Europe & META] Requires Motorola 90W TurboPower™ Charger; sold separately. Median users can get up to 12 hours of battery life in 6 minutes of charge. Higher chargers will not increase maximum charge capability. Battery must be substantially depleted; charge boost must be “on”; charging rate slows as charging progresses.
