Impressive Specs for the Price
The Moto G86 features a 6.67-inch OLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, ideal for scrolling through apps, websites, and social media. It includes 256GB of storage, a 50MP main camera paired with an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 32MP front camera for selfies. Full IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance protects it in tough conditions, powered by Android 16 and a reliable MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor.
This setup handles calls, messaging, banking, email, and casual photography with ease but may struggle with intensive gaming like extended PUBG sessions.
Standout Battery Life
A 5,200mAh battery outperforms even the £1,249 Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, ensuring all-day reliability at a fraction of the premium model’s cost.
