The successor to the Moto G85, launched back in June 2024, should be just around the corner. While Motorola has remained quiet about the G86’s development, Dutch publisher Nieuwe Mobiel has revealed detailed renders of the phone — giving us a first look at the updated design.
First off, the Moto G86 renders reveal a flat design — a shift from the curved middle frame and display of its predecessor. The bezel thickness appears largely unchanged, while the flat frame retains the same button placement as before.
Camera island resembles more expensive Edge 60 series
Moving to the back, the camera island appears wider, resembling the more premium Moto Edge 60 and Edge 60 Fusion — with a similarly arranged lens layout. The back material appears to be made of soft vegan leather, which both looks and feels premium — a definite plus for a mid-range device.
In addition to the secondary microphone hole on top and the SIM-ejector slot on the left, the renders reveal another hole below the power button — a detail that wasn’t a part of the G85.
To recall, the predecessor featured a 50MP 1/1.95″ main sensor, paired with an 8MP ultrawide camera and a 32MP selfie shooter. It was powered by a 5,000mAh battery and the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 chipset. On the front, it had a 6.67-inch FHD+ display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Motorola launched the phone with Android 14, with a promise of two years of Android OS updates and three years of security patches. Motorola delivered on that promise, with the G85 receiving its first OS update ahead of all Galaxy flagships from last year.
While details about the Moto G86 remain scarce, at least some iterative improvements—both on paper and in real-world use—can be expected. Stick around, as it’s already April and we’re likely inching closer to an official unveiling.
