Motorola G86 5G: Motorola has stepped up with the G86 5G in the build department. You get IP68 and IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance, plus MIL‑STD‑810H durability, meaning it’s not just going to crack at the first sign of rough use.
This means great visibility outdoors and smooth scrolling/animations. Gorilla Glass protection helps with durability.
Performance & Battery: Reliable Power, Long Usage
Under the hood sits the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset. It won’t beat flagship chips, but for everyday tasks, apps, media, and multitasking, it performs well without being overly power hungry.
Battery options are interesting: there are variants with ~5,200 mAh, and others (especially the “Power” model) with ~6,720 mAh. The bigger cell promises multi‑day use under moderate usage.
Camera & Connectivity, Good, With Limitations
The rear camera setup includes a 50MP Sony main sensor (many with OIS), plus an 8MP ultra‑wide for broader shots. The selfie camera is ~32MP.
Video recording is supported in 4K on at least some lenses.
Connectivity includes 5G support, WiFi (though not the fastest in some tests), Bluetooth 5.4, and NFC. Speakers are decent, dual stereo in many variants.
Who Should Buy It
If you want a stylish phone that feels robust, gives you a great screen, good cameras (especially the main shooter), and lasts long on a charge, without paying flagship prices, the Moto G 86 5G is a strong pick.
If your priorities are super‑fast charging, pro‑level video, or high fps gaming in demanding titles, you might still find limits here. But for most people, the G86 5G strikes a balance between what matters and what costs extra.
