The Moto G85 launched back in June of last year, and so we’re definitely getting closer and closer to the release of its successor. The Moto G86’s pricing leaked in March, and today we have the first purported leaked renders showing it.
Interestingly, this is a very Edge-like design. Motorola seems to be unifying its design language across the Edge upper-midrange and flagship line and the G series of mid-rangers, at least in this specific case. We’re talking especially about the camera island, which definitely resembles that of the Edge 60 Fusion.
That aside, the back material seems quite interesting too, with the source of this leak calling it “a mix of felt and textile”. Clearly, the G86 will at least come in purple and dark blue, as evidenced by these images. The dark blue version seems to go with a more traditional fake leather back.
The phone has a flat screen as you can see, with decently small bezels, though the top and bottom bezels do seem to be bigger than the side ones. The main camera is 50 MP and uses an unspecified Sony Lytia sensor, with OIS. The G86 also supports Dolby Atmos. Unfortunately it’s still unclear when to expect this to become official, but when it does, it should go for €330 in the Eurozone with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
