The smartphone world is always changing, and Motorola’s latest mid-range star, the Moto G86 Power 5G, is here to impress. Launched in May 2025, this phone tackles the biggest worries users have—battery life, durability, and performance—with some seriously cool features.
Battery That Just Won’t Quit
The star of the show is the 6,720mAh battery, Motorola’s largest yet. It has a whopping 53 hours of power, so you can forget about it all weekend — ideal for travel or any particularly busy day. And when you want a boost, the 30W TurboPower charging gives you up to 12 hours of power in just 30 minutes. No more waiting around!
Stunning Display You’ll Love
The phone’s 6.67-inch pOLED display has an ultra-smooth 120Hz refresh rate and a bonkers-bright 4,500 nits peak brightness — perfect for even the sunniest of days. It is flat, too (no ridiculous curves!) and covered in Gorilla Glass 7i so scratches shouldn’t be an issue.
Built Like a Tank
This phone is tough. It is built to military-grade durability and can survive temps, drops from 1.2 meters (4 feet) as well as go up to 30 minutes submerged underwater (thanks to its IP68 and IP69 ratings). And if you’re a klutz, or just like to hike in the desert, it can handle you.
Speedy Performance
Under the hood is a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor that will make things go fast and smooth. 8GB or 12GB of RAM and 128GB/256GB of storage (up to 128GB expandable) basically means that multitasking and housing pics is a non-issue.
Camera That Shines
The 50MP Sony LYTIA 600 main camera captures sharp, detailed images, and the 8MP ultra-wide lens is ideal for group shots or close-ups. For selfies, there’s a 32MP front camera that hides away within the display.
Sleek Design,
Cool ColorsThe phone is available in four (fashionable, we are sure) colors:Chrysanthemum (pale red), Cosmic Sky(lavender), Golden Cypress(olive green), and Spellbound (blue-gray). The Spellbound model even features a fancy eco-leather back, while others boast textured plastic backs and “feel” grippy.
Software That Lasts
Movies and music sound amazing with Dolby Atmos and loud stereo speakers. Not to mention that it has 5G for fast downloads and smooth streaming.
Great for Entertainment
Moto Secure safeguards your information by enabling you to manage access to your information on an app-by-app basis and by storing protected files in a secret folder.
Security You Can Trust
It’s powered by Android 15 and it will receive two years of OS updates and four years of security patches to keep your phone feeling like new and protected.
Final Thoughts
The Moto G86 Power 5G is all about taking this basic mobile concept and exploring it to the practical extremes—big battery, tough build and a top display, all at a mid-range price. If you’re after a phone that can power through your life, albeit requiring frequent charges or occasional handholding, here you go. No bells and whistle gimmicks, just solid performance in the areas it counts. It goes for £299.99/€329, which is a bargain for what you receive. Ready to upgrade? Here’s your next phone!
