Growing reports suggest Motorola Edge 60 Pro has a real camera fog problem

Folks who’ve recently bought the Motorola Edge 60 Pro, which launched only a few months ago, are running into a nagging issue where fog builds up inside the camera lens. This causes photos and videos to appear blurry and washed out. It’s happening right out of the box for many, and the complaints are adding up across social media and forums. Users say it kicks in during normal use, like snapping a few test shots, and it clears up eventually, but often comes back.

Take, for example, the recent complaints on X. Shreekanta Jena posted on October 13 about his phone from Flipkart fogging up within five or six hours of delivery on September 30. Manish Mandaviya had a similar story on September 30, with the fog appearing that fast on his September 25 purchase.

Both these posts also contained video proof that you can check out below:

I purchased a Moto Edge 60 Pro from @Flipkart
on 30th Sept (afternoon i got). Shockingly, within just 5–6 hours the camera lens started fogging. For a phone worth ₹30K, this is unacceptable!@flipkartsupport @Flipkart @motorolaindia #motoedge60Pro pic.twitter.com/kjXpTu3wvK

A tech reviewer, GADGETS BANGLA, shared on October 8 how their two-day-old device had the same problem, and they got nowhere with the service center or Flipkart on a replacement. Sauravtumde even threatened consumer court action on September 27 after seeing reviews full of fog complaints before his order arrived.

Over on Motorola’s forums, the discussion threads are filling up too. Punitbro started one on July 21, 2025, saying his July 19 buy fogged in minutes, and he’d seen others with the same defect. RG023 joined the next day, describing recurring fog on his Flipkart-delivered phone and troubles finding a working service center in Rajasthan.

In August, rohanujagare reported fog during setup on his open-box Flipkart order, with no return possible. Ompawar got so upset about the fog ruining his Ganpati celebrations in late August that he demanded a refund outright. Come October, Parag099 and Manasdas022 added their experiences of quick fog and overheating, rejecting repairs for new phones. Motorola reps keep replying, asking for details and service visits, but users feel like they’re getting the runaround.

Reddit’s r/motorola subreddit also has its share of stories. Capn__Deadpool wrote two months ago about the fog on his day-old phone, and spotting ten others at the service center with it.

National_Trifle4732 posted 16 days ago, waiting it out before pushing Flipkart for a replacement. People suggest tricks like recording long videos to heat the phone or pulling the SIM tray, but most want full swaps. And I don’t blame them.

Even on Facebook, in groups like FRB Trolls, Prasad Anil Kamble posted in August about fog on his unit, which he purchased from the official site less than a day old, asking for help reaching Motorola.

All these accounts make it obvious this isn’t just bad luck for a few people; it’s a pattern affecting enough units to look like a build quality slip. Adding weight to the potential quality control issue is a report from another user who reported dust getting in the lens.

Most reports I came across are from India, with a handful from Bangladesh. I didn’t spot any from elsewhere, but the concentration there might be tied to humidity conditions.

That said, we’ve seen similar complaints from users with Samsung devices like the Galaxy Note 20, S23 Ultra, and S20 in the past. There were reports about the same on Vivo phones like the X200 series and iQOO Neo 10R. Then, there was a lot of chatter about the camera fog on the Xiaomi 14. So yeah, it’s an industry thing, but the Edge 60 Pro has too many reports to ignore.

If you’re thinking about grabbing one, give that camera a good workout early on. Motorola’s warranty pushes for service checks, but plenty of buyers are holding out for replacements or refunds to skip the repair drama. As the reports continue to add up, Motorola might need to address it head-on soon. It’s a bummer when a solid phone on paper trips over something like this.
