In 2025, one of the most tantalizing mid-range smartphones is emerging to be the Motorola G86 5G. With a quality pOLED display, dependable processor, good cameras and sturdy construction, the phone is set to give the Redmi Note 13 Pro, Realme Narzo 70 Pro, and Samsung Galaxy M14 5G a run for their money to be launched at a price point below ₹30,000, offering the premium feel without the high price.
Sleek Design, Brilliant Display
Motorola has always focused on the clean and tough design, and the G86 5G is no different with a smooth frame and curve back that it would come in a matte and leather finish. It also means IPS68/IP69 protection and MIL-STD-810H toughness which is something of a rarity at this price point.
The phone features a 6.67-inch pOLED screen with Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The screen offers peak brightness levels of 4,500 nits, allowing it to remain visible even in bright sunlight. Gorilla Glass provides durability from everyday wear and tear. Dimensity Enabled Smooth and Smart Performance
Under the hood, the Motorola G86 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor, based on the 4nm process. Fast app loading, smooth multitasking, and consistent gaming and video performance.
The device will come in two editions:
- 8GB RAM + 128GB storage
- 12GB RAM + 256GB storage
- Virtual RAM extension up to 24GB and microSD card allows for heavy users.
Super Detail-Recording Camera
The G86 5G comes with an adaptable and clear camera setup. It features:
- So the main sensor has 50MP and OIS (Optical Image Stabilization)
- 8MP ultra-wide lens
- Selfie and Video calling 32MP front camera
The OIS-capable main lens shooters stable and clear photos, even in the low light environment. There is an ultra-wide camera to take the perfect landscape shot, and a 32mp selfie shooter that also has beauty modes and AI features.
Battery and Fast Charging
With that said, one of the highlights is the massive battery. The G86 5G will feature:
- 6,720mAh battery (global non-Europe version)
- 5,200mAh battery (in select European markets)
Users can recharge their battery rapidly with 33W fast charging and stay connected throughout the day. When fully charged the phone is supposed to provide users with more than 7 hours of screen-on time, offering strong battery performance for power users.
Latest software and LTS
The Motorola G86 5G will run Android 15 out of the box and we can expect at least two major Android releases on the device with the company also promising four years of security patches. Then those who prefer a more simplistic, fast and efficient software experience should like the clean UI, no bloatware, and almost-stock Android experience.
Features and Connectivity
The phone is compatible with most 5G bands, and it supports dual-SIM standby, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC and USB-C. It’s missing a 3.5mm headphone jack, but instead there are Dolby Atmos-enabled stereo speakers for immersive sound. On the security front, there is a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and face unlock.
Expected Pricing in India
Although price of Rs 25,000- Rs 30,000 (depending upon the RAM and storage version) is expected, the global pricing is hoped to be at around €330. That puts it in direct competition with other highly successful 5G mid-rangers.
Final Verdict
Motorola G86 5G is a performance-driven smartphone for users who expect an excellent display quality and photography experience at an affordable price. Featuring a clean Android experience, solid build and huge battery, it’s a standout in a crowded mid-range market. If you’re after a future-proof handset with a sensible set of specs and build quality, the G86 5G is worth the wait.
