Moto G86 leak confirms MediaTek SoC and slightly larger battery

After showing off what the Moto G56 has in store for prospective buyers, renowned leaker Evan Blass has now revealed important information about its more powerful sibling, the Moto G86. And unlike the G56, this phone will receive four years of software updates and two major OS upgrades regardless of its memory configuration.

The Moto G86 comes with a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 SoC, which is a decent upgrade over the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 that powered the Moto G85. It can be coupled with 8/12 GB of RAM and 128/256 GB of storage. This, on the other hand, is a tad lower than 512 GB of storage offered on the G85. But you get a marginally larger 5,200 mAh battery that charges at up to 33 Watts. There's a second variant with an even larger 6,720 mAh cell, making it one of the many phones to join the coveted 6,000+ mAh battery club.

Other Moto G86 specs include a 6.67-inch 1.5K POLED screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate, 4,500 nits peak brightness, which is protected by a layer of Gorilla Glass 7. Its rear camera array is spearheaded by a 50 MP LYT 600 sensor and an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle lens. For selfies, you get a 32 MP sensor. Wireless connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4.
