This new smartphone from Motorola is ready to take the market by storm with its great features.
Display you will like it!
The 6.67-inch pOLED display of the Moto G86 5G is its biggest highlight. This screen with 120Hz refresh rate and 1.5K resolution will give you crisp and vibrant colors. Due to the peak brightness of up to 4500 nits, there will be no problem in watching content even in sunlight. HDR10 + support will double the fun of movies and gaming. Due to the flat display design, it will also be easy to apply screen protectors and fit cases.
Battery Charge and forget!
If you are one of those users who are troubled by charging the phone again and again, then Moto G86 5G will take away all your tension. The standard variant has a 5200mAh battery, while the “Power” variant will get a 6720mAh monster battery. This battery can easily last 2-3 days, that is, you will not have to find the charger again and again. Due to 30W / 33W TurboPower charging support, the phone will also charge quickly.
Performance Smooth and lag-free
The Moto G86 5G runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset, which is built on a 4nm process. This chipset gives excellent performance from everyday tasks to heavy gaming. With 8GB / 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage (expandable in some variants), this phone will also be absolutely smooth in multitasking.
Camera For great shots
For photography enthusiasts, the Moto G86 5G has a 50MP Sony Lytia 600 main camera, which comes with OIS support. The 8MP ultrawide/macro lens and 32MP front camera are perfect for selfie lovers. In good lighting, this camera captures crisp and detailed photos.
Durable and reliable
The Moto G86 5G comes with IP68/IP69 rating and MIL-STD-810H certification, meaning it can easily withstand dust, water and shock. The screen will also be protected from scratches and drops due to Corning Gorilla Glass 7i.
Clean Android experience
This phone comes with Motorola’s “Hello UI” based on Android 15, which gives an absolutely clean and bloatware-free Android experience. Motorola promises 2-5 years of OS updates and 4-7 years of security patches (varies by market).
Dual stereo speakers, Dolby Atmos and Moto Spatial Sound will double the fun of movies and songs.
Some shortcomings too
Although this phone is great in many ways, there are some things where it lags behind. 30W/33W charging is a bit slow in today’s time. The camera setup does not have optical zoom and the performance of the ultrawide/macro lens is not very special. Charger is not available in the box in some markets.
Price and availability
The Moto G86 5G is expected to be priced around ₹29,990 in India and around €280-300 in Europe. The “Power” variant will be available in select markets only.
Should I buy it or not?
If you want long battery life, great display and durable build, then the Moto G86 5G is the best option for you. But if you want super fast charging or pro-level camera performance, then you should look at another phone. Overall, this is one of the best phones in the mid-range segment!
