Editorial report

Motorola Moto G86 12 GB / 256 GB / Global technical sheet

The Motorola Moto G86 suits buyers looking for a slim, rugged 5G phone with an exceptionally bright display. Its main trade-off is the main camera: the 1/1.95″ sensor and f/1.9 aperture are weaker than those of most phones of its time.

The 6.67″ pOLED display is the standout feature. Its 4,500 nits and 446 ppi are better than most phones of its time, while the 89.2 % usable surface is also above most. The body is 7.8 mm thick, weighs 185 g and resists water and dust with IP68 and IP69, as well as drops and shocks with MIL-STD-810H.

This version pairs 8 GB of RAM with 256 GB of expandable storage and uses a MediaTek Dimensity 7300. Its AnTuTu result is 985,368, placing performance among the typical phones of its time. Connectivity is better than most, with 5G, NFC, eSIM, Bluetooth 5.4 and broad band support. The camera adds 50 MP resolution, optical stabilization and 4K video, but its sensor size and aperture are weaknesses. A 5,200 mAh battery and 30 W charging are typical figures, while the battery overall is worse than most phones of its time. The Moto G86 earns a NeoScore of 6.9 and is sold in 8 GB / 256 GB and 12 GB / 256 GB configurations.
