Positioned as a flagship killer in the budget segment, the moto g86 POWER packs premium features typically reserved for higher-priced devices — including the segment’s brightest 6.67-inch 1.5K pOLED display, a 50MP Sony LYTIA 600 camera with OIS, a massive 6720mAh battery, IP68/IP69 durability, and the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset.

Stunning Display and Design

One of the biggest highlights of the moto g86 POWER is its industry-leading pOLED Super HD display. The 6.67-inch flat panel offers a peak brightness of 4500 nits, 120Hz refresh rate, 10-bit colour, and 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut for immersive viewing. Protected by Gorilla Glass 7i, the display is also equipped with Smart Water Touch 2.0 and SGS Eye Protection, making it user-friendly even under harsh conditions.

Aesthetically, the phone comes in a premium vegan leather finish, available in three Pantone-curated colours — Golden Cypress, Cosmic Sky, and Spellbound — all designed to offer both style and grip without smudges. Despite the large battery, the phone weighs just 198 grams, maintaining a balanced and comfortable in-hand feel.
