Introducing Motorola’s stunning new motorola edge 60 fusion

Published

on

Packed with premium features: smarter, highly personalised AI;
world-first camera features; Pantone Validated Colours and
the brightest display in the category – all for just $699

SYDNEY, May 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Mobile communications leader, Motorola, has announced the launch of the highly anticipated motorola edge 60 fusion in Australia.

On sale from Thursday 22 May, the motorola edge 60 fusion introduces new highly evolved moto ai[12] features which are more intuitive than any previous models and set to transform daily interactions. With the world’s first Sony LYTIATM 700C camera validated by Pantone, plus the brightest display in the category[1] with Pantone Validated Colours[10], it produced the most outstanding, true-to-life imagery. The battery can power up for a full-day battery in just eight minutes . 

Priced at just $699, the motorola edge 60 fusion features a tactile leather-inspired finish for an added layer of elegance. The colours of Slipstream, Amazonite and Zephyr have been designed in conjunction with Pantone Colour InstituteTM.  

Corning® Gorilla® Glass 7i protects the device with 2x better drop and scratch performance[7]. It also meets military standards for durability – ideal to face scorching summer days as high as 60°C – even blazing temperatures inside a parked car! It also withstands up to 95% humidity, the kind found in coastal areas[8]. Its worry-free underwater protection is designed to withstand submersion in up to 1.5 meters of fresh water for 30 minutes, so being dropped in the water is one less thing to worry about[9].

FULL TECH SPECS:

Everyday moments made easier with moto ai

Artificial Intelligence is central to Motorola’s innovation, enhancing all facets of its technology. With a quick prompt like ‘Catch me up’ moto ai delivers concise, tailored summaries[5] of what matters most. Users can skip the endless scrolling and focus on staying on top of their day with clarity and ease. Expanded app coverage – including WhatsApp calls – and customisable summaries put the user in control, while quick actions like returning calls or replying to messages make staying connected easy.

Capturing screenshots, photos, and notes is easy with moto ai’s ‘Remember this and Recall’ automatically analysing and tagging them. If you need more detail, add a note yourself. Later, simply ask, “What was I getting for Dad?” and moto ai will pull up exactly what’s needed, like that screenshot of a polo shirt.

Users can stay focused with moto ai’s ‘Pay attention’, allowing moto ai to handle the notes. With live transcription and speaker identification, type or press ‘Pay Attention’ in the search bar to start recording automatically. Your session is transcribed in real time, so you can stay engaged without missing a word.

Motorola hasn’t just strengthened its existing moto ai features, but equipped the edge 60 fusion with new AI capabilities that will transform daily interactions: Next Move, Playlist Studio, and Image Studio.

With Motorola’s Next Move, users can receive tailored recommendations based on what’s on their screen, whether a recipe or travel plans, moto ai gives suggested next steps – ideal for beginners and AI enthusiasts alike who want to understand what AI can do for them.

Users can turn to Playlist Studio to set the tone for the day, using on-screen content or a prompt within the moto ai app to curate a perfect playlist, while Image Studio[11] helps bring fresh entertainment to group chats and social media, using generative AI creation and editing capabilities to turn ideas into images, avatars, stickers, and wallpapers.

Content creation continues to be an area significantly enhanced by moto ai, bringing a cinematic effect to everyday moments, moto ai works behind the scenes to deliver the best possible photos and videos. The Photo Enhancement Engine applies precise colour, brightness, and texture adjustments, as well as noise reduction to content captured, bringing it to life with exceptional clarity and vibrancy.

Smartphone essentials engineered with the premium quality you want 

The motorola edge 60 fusion offers the best of the best when it comes to essential features. The camera is not just a first for Motorola, but the world, powered by Sony LYTIATM 700C sensor and featuring OIS video stabilisation, users can effortlessly shoot like a pro and curate standout photos. With colours validated by Pantone, users can be confident that they are documenting the world as they see it, true to life. 

Impressive imagery requires an impressive display, and the motorola edge 60 fusion delivers Motorola’s sharpest, brightest display ever. The 6.7″ pOLED display reveals the full potential of content, even in particularly sunny environments. Users can enjoy a clear, vibrant picture with Pantone Validated Colours[10], plus sharper detail and less pixelation thanks to Super HD resolution (1220p), delivering 13% more resolution than standard Full HD (1080p) displays. In addition, it can reach a peak brightness of up to 4500 nits – 2.8x brighter than the previous generation motorola edge[3,4]. 

These groundbreaking essentials require an impressive battery to support, and Motorola has delivered just that with a 5200mAh battery and 68W TurboPowerTM charging, allowing users to power up for a full-day battery in just eight minutes[2]. 

From its exceptional camera, to the stunning display, all can be enjoyed stutter-free, with the ultrafast MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset ensuring no annoying stops and starts, plus up to additional 12GB of RAM[9] with RAM Boost. 

Twice as tough: Durability and craftsmanship like never before 

The motorola edge 60 fusion is the epitome of quality craftsmanship and purposeful design, featuring a leather-inspired finish that gives you a touch of luxury and an added layer of elegance. In another example of maximising Motorola’s unique partnership with Pantone, the device’s aesthetic is elevated further thanks to specially curated hues – Slipstream, Amazonite and Zephyr – that have been designed in conjunction with Pantone Colour InstituteTM.

Its beautiful finish is built to last, featuring Corning® Gorilla® Glass 7i, the device’s display is protected with 2x better drop and scratch performance[7]. The motorola edge 60 fusion also meets military standards for durability, thanks to its MIL-STG 810H rating, all while maintaining a sophisticated, elegant look-and-feel. It’s protected against extreme temperatures including harsh winters as cold as -20°C or scorching summer days as high as 60°C – even the blazing temperatures inside a parked car. It also withstands up to 95% humidity, the kind found in coastal areas[8]. 

Complementing its tough build is its worry-free underwater protection. The motorola edge 60 fusion is engineered to give you peace of mind with IP68 and IP69 ratings, offering superior protection against dust, direct, sand, and high-pressure water. Plus, it’s designed to withstand submersion in up to 1.5 meters of fresh water for 30 minutes, so being dropped in the water is one less thing to worry about[9].

The motorola edge 60 fusion is available to buy from 22 May, RRP $699. Stockists will include JB Hi-Fi, Harvey Norman, Officeworks, The Good Guys, Amazon, and motorola.com.au. Colour availability may vary store-to-store.

ProHance Launches AI Adoption Index to Show What AI Is Changing at Work

Published

A scorecard to help organizations confirm that AI use is approved, applied to real work and producing results

SYDNEY, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ProHance, an AI-led Productivity Orchestration platform, today launched the AI Adoption Index, an AI realization scorecard that helps enterprises measure AI usage and confirm that it is on approved tools, applied to real work and turning into delivered value.

The launch comes as unmanaged AI use draws closer scrutiny. A 2026 industry study of data breaches found that incidents involving shadow AI, meaning AI tools used by employees without IT approval, accounted for 43% of all breaches, up from 20% in 2025. Among organizations reporting an AI-related security incident, 92% lacked adequate AI access controls.

Enterprises can usually see who uses AI and how much. Leadership still lacks answers on whether that use is sanctioned, whether it reaches real work, and what it produces.

For every enterprise, the AI Adoption Index lets leaders:

Map: See how AI is used across teams, from AI-Aware to AI-First.Measure: Identify which teams are behind on adoption.Mitigate: Detect shadow AI and keep a permanent audit trail.

Usage analytics stop at activity. Governance and security tools control approval and spend but cannot show whether AI changes how work gets done, and a separate set of tools tracks output shipped. The AI Adoption Index brings all three views together in one place, across every AI tool and every team.

“ProHance is envisioning to solve a critical problem of assessing AI’s impact on the workforce by helping leaders understand how to reskill and reshape their workforce with AI by measuring actual impact of AI and humans together,” said Ankur Dhingra, CEO, ProHance. “AI Adoption Index shows leaders who is using what, how deeply, at what cost, and where AI is running without approval, measured from the work itself, so they can decide where to act.”

The Index follows ProHance’s launch of its outcome measurement layer for Outsourcing Performance Management (OPM), which gives enterprises independent evidence of what their outsourced and contingent teams deliver. Across both launches, ProHance is focused on driving visibility for enterprises, so that AI-ready organizations can improve outcomes from their people and their AI together.

About ProHance

ProHance is an AI-led Productivity Orchestration platform that gives enterprises real-time visibility into productivity, operations and workforce performance.

Webull Australia doubles down on its adviser platform as Australian financial advisers face capacity squeeze

Published

on

By

Webull is expanding Webull Connect with Connect AI, Iress Xplan integration and LAB Group enabled onboarding and transfersAustralian adviser platforms held more than $1.22 trillion in funds under advice in March 2026, while adviser numbers have fallen around 42 per cent since 2019The expanded platform is designed to cut administration and help advisers manage more client work

SYDNEY, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Webull Securities (Australia) Pty Ltd (“Webull Australia”), a subsidiary of Webull Corporation (NASDAQ: BULL), the owner of the Webull trading platform, has rolled out new features for Webull Connect, its portfolio management and execution platform for Australian financial advisers, as it continues to advance its offering for the advice sector.

Australia’s financial advisers serve one of the world’s largest pools of retirement savings, and demand for advice is set to grow. Investment platforms used by advisers and their clients held $1.22 trillion in funds under advice as of March 2026.

Yet the profession serving that demand is shrinking. Licensed adviser numbers have fallen 42 per cent since the start of 2019, from around 26,500 to 15,413 at the end of June 2026. With fewer advisers looking after more clients and more assets, time has become the profession’s scarcest resource, and administration is taking up much of it.

Webull Connect’s latest update is built to address that capacity squeeze. New features include:

Connect AI: an AI assistant that assists advisers with routine operational queries and accelerates report workflows, with instant portfolio insights and summaries of client position exposures rolling out in early November. Advisers can currently use up to 5,000 queries per month at no cost.Bulk Onboarding and Transfer: in collaboration with LAB Group, bulk client registration, digital onboarding and portfolio migration, with HIN transfers for multiple clients initiated and tracked in one place.Iress Xplan Integration: built in collaboration with Iress, providing streamlined client portfolio integration with Xplan to improve workflow efficiency and client management.Bulk Trade: a single entry point to build diversified portfolios across the ASX and international markets, with orders across multiple client accounts executed separately or centrally and transparent average-price allocations.Webull Trade Terminal: multi-window layouts, advanced real-time charting, deep market depth and instant hotkey routing, giving advisers the same experience as Webull traders.Webull Connect Mobile App: a new app that lets advised clients follow their portfolios, order status and market insights, with the same experience Webull’s retail clients enjoy.

“When we launched Webull Connect in February, we said international market access was the real differentiator. Since then, advisers have told us the other thing holding them back is time,” said Rob Talevski, CEO of Webull Australia. “Australia’s advice sector looks after more than a trillion dollars, with roughly half the advisers it had a few years ago. We’re doubling down on Webull Connect because we see a real opportunity to help advisers do more with less, from onboarding a new client to building a global portfolio.”

Looking ahead, Webull Australia plans to broaden the platform further with access to Japanese markets, regulated crypto and digital asset access, and US bond and fixed income access, giving advisers more of the building blocks their clients need on a single platform.
