The Motorola Edge 60 Stylus (review) has launched in India as a mid-tier offering focusing on design, display, software, and productivity. The smartphone also sports a commendable camera system, including a 50MP primary sensor and a 32MP selfie sensor. But, how capable are the cameras? We attempt to find out in this camera comparison where we pitted the smartphone against the popular Nothing Phone (3a) (review), which offers one of the most versatile cameras in the segment. Read on.
Verdict
The Motorola Edge 60 Stylus and Nothing Phone (3a) are 50MP camera system-toting smartphones under Rs 25,000. However, the latter has a more dynamic camera setup with a 50MP telephoto and an 8MP ultra-wide lens. The Motorola Edge 60 Stylus clicks decent pictures, but it is not the best in the segment in the camera department.

Daylight
In daylight, the Motorola Edge 60 Stylus tends to click sharp shots with higher details, boosted colour science, a cool tone and prominent shadows. On the other hand, the Nothing Phone (3a) leans towards realistic colour science and natural tones. If you prefer shots that look close to reality, then the Nothing Phone (3a) is the one to pick here.
Winner: Nothing Phone (3a)
Portrait
The Motorola Edge 60 Stylus tends to brighten skin tones in portrait mode. Despite that, portrait shots taken with the newly launched appear aesthetically pleasing and have good facial detail. The Nothing Phone (3a) also captures good details, but comes ahead of the Motorola device because of the accurate skin tone detection.
Winner: Nothing Phone (3a)
Selfie
Both smartphones flaunt a 32MP selfie camera on the front, which is capable of capturing clear selfies with respectable details. However, the Nothing Phone (3a) slightly messes up the exposure and adds a red tint to the skin tone, making the self-portrait look artificial. If you click a lot of selfies, the Edge 60 Stylus should be your pick here.
Winner: Motorola Edge 60 Stylus
Low-light (night mode)
The Motorola Edge 60 Stylus struggles a lot when the sun goes down, even with night mode enabled. The details in the shadows are crushed completely, and the image is also on the darker side. In comparison, the Nothing Phone (3a) captures brighter and more aesthetically pleasing shots in low-light conditions.
Winner: Nothing Phone (3a)
Final verdict
The Motorola Edge 60 Stylus is a productivity-focused smartphone with a clean Android interface, AI features, and stylus support. It is not the best camera smartphone in the segment, but it gets the job done and takes great selfies. If you avoid night photography, the Edge 60 Stylus is a decent camera phone starting at Rs 22,999.
On the other hand, the Nothing Phone (3a) offers a well-rounded imaging experience. It features a powerful 50MP primary camera, a 50MP telephoto lens, and an 8MP ultra-wide sensor on the rear, along with a 32MP front-facing camera. The device delivers excellent results in nearly all lighting conditions, making it an ideal choice for photography enthusiasts. The base variant is priced at Rs 24,999.
