Moto69 LA M S60 Fusion: Top Budget Smartphone Under $100 in the USA

Moto69 LA M S60 Fusion: A Budget Smartphone Under $100 for the United States

Guys, I’ve got something exciting to share! I’ve unboxed a brand-new smartphone, the Moto69 LA M S60 Fusion. If you’re searching for a phone in a tight $100 price budget, this might just end your hunt by the time you finish reading. Let’s dive into what this new device offers for folks in the United States!

Unboxing the Moto69 LA M S60 Fusion

Alright, let’s unbox it! Inside, you get the Moto69 LA M S60 Fusion, a 68-watt charger (not 69 volts, guys, April Fool’s!), and a Type-C to Type-C cable. Plug it in, and you’ll experience fast charging right away. No kidding, this charger gets the job done quickly!

Design: What’s Good and What’s Not

Finally, the phone! Compared to last time, the sides are much thinner, yet it doesn’t feel flimsy. It’s got a comfortable feel with a vegan leather finish—just like last time. But here’s the kicker: the design has some major changes. The camera alignment on the back has shifted a bit, and the display, which used to curve on the left and right, now curves on all four corners. This gives you a bonus I’ll explain later.

They’ve used vegan leather again, but this time it feels different. Last time, it was like a Natraj rubber—stiff. This one’s more like an Apsara rubber—flexible and nice. It’s not completely vegan leather, though; it’s made with silicone and plastic frames. The weight? Around 169 grams, though I checked, and it’s actually 182 grams. How could I be so off?

Quality: Thinner sides, comfortable vegan leather feel, flexible design, four-sided curved display reduces bezels.

Non-Quality: Weight misjudgment (169 vs. 182 grams), not fully vegan leather (silicone/plastic mix).

Display: A Visual Treat

The display is a 6.7-inch quad-curved P-OLED with a 120 Hz high refresh rate. Videos on this screen? The colors are amazing—eye-pleasing and golden. Brightness is a big upgrade from last time, hitting 4500 nits max. I took both phones out in the sun, and the difference is clear—this one doesn’t lose out anywhere.

Quality: 6.7-inch quad-curved display, 120 Hz refresh rate, 4500 nits brightness, vibrant colors.

Non-Quality: None noticed—performs well even in sunlight!

Durability: Built to Last

Last time, it had an IP68 rating. This time, it’s got IP69 too, plus Corning Gorilla Glass 7 and military-grade certification. It’s tough, guys—like our country’s growing population!

Quality: IP68 + IP69, Gorilla Glass 7, military-grade certification.

Non-Quality: None—it’s a durability beast!

Performance: Smooth and Refined

It’s powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset—1 GHz more powerful than the 7300 from last time. It runs Android 15 with a stock-like feel. Moto always keeps it clean—no preinstalled junk. You get useful apps like Family Space, Moto Secure, and Smart Connect. Imagine giving this to your grandma—you can operate it remotely, guide her, or connect it seamlessly to your laptop.

Moto’s gestures are super useful—other phones should copy them. The refresh rate? Last time was 144 Hz under $250; this time, it’s 120 Hz. Still smooth and refined. Base variant now offers 256 GB storage (up from 8 GB + 128 GB). It uses UCP storage—faster read/write speeds than typical UFS 2.2. RAM is LPDDR combined into a single chip called YM SAP—slightly better than UFS 2.2.

Gaming? Graphics are smooth on extreme settings, but I noticed slight ghost touches and lag after a bit. Not a dealbreaker, though. Day-to-day use is flawless for three years with major updates and four years of security updates.

Quality: Powerful Dimensity 7400, 256 GB base storage, smooth 120 Hz, clean Android 15, useful apps, 3+4 years updates.

Non-Quality: Minor ghost touches/lag in gaming, 60 FPS cap (vs. 90 FPS on cheaper phones).

Battery: Power That Lasts

Compared to Motorola’s last model, they’ve bumped it by 500 mAh. Side by side, it doesn’t feel heavy or thick. For intense users, I got 9 hours of screen-on time—could be more for normal tasks. With the 68-watt charger, it’s 0 to 100% in about an hour.

Quality: 500 mAh boost, 9+ hours screen time, fast 68W charging.

Non-Quality: None—battery life rocks!

Camera: Quality Snaps

It looks like four cameras, but here’s the truth: a 50 MP primary sensor with OIS, a 13 MP ultra-wide that doubles as macro, a flash, and an ambient light sensor (not a camera—it balances colors in low light). Details are next-level, and the ultra-wide maintains quality—no color shift like others. Night shots and macro results are solid too.

Selfie camera? 4K 30 FPS—decent stability for vlogging. Back camera offers 4K 30 FPS (not 60 FPS). Last year’s double-sided curve had bigger bezels; now, the four-sided curve cuts them in half.

Quality: 50 MP OIS, 13 MP ultra-wide/macro, great detail, low-light balance, 4K video.

Non-Quality: No 4K 60 FPS on back camera, no telephoto sensor.

Sound: Loud and Clear

Loudness is definitely impressive. A bit more bass would’ve been fun—baby likes bass! Still, it’s solid for a budget phone.

Quality: Loud speakers, clear sound.

Non-Quality: Lacks extra bass.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Moto69 LA M S60 Fusion shines in design, display, performance, battery, and camera departments. Some phones offer telephoto sensors, but their ultra-wide and macro aren’t this good. If you love the design, go for it with eyes closed—it satisfies every need under $100. That’s all, guys! Like, share, and subscribe—I’ll catch you in the next one!
