Motorola Moto G86 Power 5G review: specs, battery & used prices

Summary

The Motorola Moto G86 Power 5G is a 2025 endurance variant of the G86 family on the Dimensity 7300, carrying a 6720 mAh battery with 30 W charging, a 6.67-inch 120 Hz OLED rated at 1500 nits and an IP69 body at 198 grams. Our catalog scores it 74 on battery life against 52 on everyday use and 15 on gaming, with one year of OS updates declared. A 50-megapixel stabilized main camera leads the rear with an 8-megapixel ultrawide, and video tops out at 4K30. Tracked listings start at about $329 for the 8/128 GB trim. The Motorola Moto G86 5G is the slimmer standard sibling, while the Motorola Moto G Power 5G is the long-running Power line predecessor.

Display and design

The 6.67-inch OLED refreshes at 120 Hz with a 1500-nit peak, scoring 70 on our screen axis, identical panel class to the standard G86. The 198-gram IP69 body absorbs the larger cell for a compactness score of 81: heavier than the 185-gram standard trim, still fully sealed against dust and water jets.

Performance

The Dimensity 7300 posts an everyday axis of 52 and a gaming axis of 15: daily apps and media at upper-budget expectations, with the platform tuned for efficiency, which is what turns the 6720 mAh cell into two-day territory rather than a spec figure.

Camera

A 50-megapixel stabilized main sensor with an 8-megapixel ultrawide covers daylight photography, recording up to 4K30. The camera axis of 25 keeps expectations at the tier level: dependable stabilized daylight output, basic everything else.

Battery and charging

The 6720 mAh battery scores 74 on our battery axis, a confident two-day phone at moderate use and the entire reason the Power trim exists, while 30 W charging earns a charging score of 12: refills are slow, and the big cell makes them longer, so overnight charging is the pattern.

Verdict

At about $329 new for 8/128 GB, the G86 Power 5G is for buyers who want the G86's OLED and IP69 sealing plus two-day endurance, and accept slower refills and a one-year software window as the trade. Used market data is sparse, so the new channel is the reference.
