Motorola India has officially launched the Moto G86 Power 5G, aiming to redefine expectations in the sub-₹20,000 smartphone segment. Priced at ₹17,999 for the 8 GB + 128 GB configuration (with offers bringing it to around ₹16,999), the device brings standout features that set new benchmarks for performance, durability, and multimedia experience.
Immersive Display with Industry-Leading Brightness
At the heart of the Moto G86 Power is a 6.67-inch 1.5K pOLED Super HD display. This panel boasts a blazing 4,500 nits peak brightness, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and 10-bit color depth covering 100% of the DCI-P3 gamut. It features Display Colour Boost, SGS Low Blue Light, and Low Motion Blur certifications for eye comfort. The screen includes Gorilla Glass 7i protection and supports water-touch input even when wet.
Photography and Video That Impress
The phone features a 50 MP Sony LYTIA 600 sensor with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), supported by Motorola’s AI enhancements. The triple-camera setup also includes an 8 MP ultra-wide and macro vision lens, while the front houses a 32 MP selfie camera with Quad Pixel technology. Impressively, the device supports 4K video recording from all lenses—a rare feature in this price range.
AI photography tools include Photo Enhancement, AI Super Zoom, Auto Smile Capture, Tilt-Shift, and integration with Google Photos tools such as Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur, and Magic Editor.
Powerhouse Battery and Charging
A major highlight is the massive 6,720 mAh battery, which Motorola claims can last up to 53 hours on a single charge. It comes with 33W TurboPower fast charging, capable of delivering a full day’s charge in about 30 minutes.
Durable Build and Rugged Certifications
The Moto G86 Power is designed to last. It meets MIL-STD-810H military durability standards and is rated IP68 and IP69 for dust and water resistance. The vegan leather finish adds to its premium appeal, and despite the large battery, the phone maintains a relatively slim profile at around 198 grams.
Smooth Performance and Smart Software
Powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset built on a 4nm process, the phone is paired with 8 GB LPDDR4X RAM (expandable up to 24 GB via RAM Boost 3.0) and 128 GB of internal storage, expandable up to 1 TB via microSD.
Connectivity features include 11 5G bands, VoNR, Wi-Fi 6, and 4-carrier aggregation, ensuring robust performance for both urban and rural users.
It runs on Android 15 with Motorola’s Hello UI, offering 1 year of OS upgrades and 3 years of security updates. Additional features include dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio, Moto Spatial Sound, Smart Connect 2.0, Family Spaces 3.0, and Moto Secure 3.0 with ThinkShield enterprise-grade security.
Availability and Offers
The Moto G86 Power 5G will go on sale starting August 6, 2025, through Flipkart, Motorola India’s website, and major offline retail stores. It will be available in three vegan leather finishes curated by Pantone: Cosmic Sky, Golden Cypress, and Spellbound.
The official price is ₹17,999, but offers through banks and retailers can bring the effective cost down to ₹16,999 or even lower. No-cost EMI plans starting at ₹633 per month are also available.
What’s New Compared to the Global Variant?
Unlike the global variant, which features a smaller 5,200 mAh battery to comply with regional norms, the Indian variant offers the full 6,720 mAh capacity, significantly boosting endurance and positioning it as a long-lasting daily driver.
Why It Matters for Consumers
The Moto G86 Power 5G offers several features typically found only in premium smartphones—high-brightness 120 Hz display, flagship-level camera with OIS, giant battery, rugged certifications, and a clean Android experience—all under ₹18,000. For power users, students, travelers, and even field professionals needing durability and battery confidence, this device offers serious value.
