Motorola G86 Power 5G Review: Dimensity 7400 performance & 6720mAh battery

Motorola has expanded its lineup with the Motorola G86 Power 5G, a phone built around a 6720mAh battery that simply refuses to quit — this phone is built for heavy users who hate carrying chargers around. Designed for heavy users, media & streaming, everyday use, it brings 5G connectivity, a large 6720mAh battery, a smooth 120Hz display, and the Dimensity 7400 chipset into one well-rounded package.

The phone sits at a competitive price in the Indian market. It doesn't try to compete with premium flagships — instead it focuses on delivering a balanced everyday experience, and in that mission it largely succeeds.

Display

The phone features a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1220 x 2712 resolution. Scrolling through apps, social media and websites feels noticeably smoother than standard 60Hz displays. With 4500 nits of peak brightness, it stays perfectly readable even outdoors. The ~446 PPI density keeps text sharp and crisp. Deep blacks and punchy colours make it excellent for OTT streaming and YouTube.

Powering the Motorola G86 Power 5G is the MediaTek Dimensity 7400. Daily tasks such as browsing, video streaming, online classes, messaging and social media all run smoothly. It scores around 7,60,000 on AnTuTu, which is solid for this segment — casual games and multitasking are handled without major issues.

It runs Android 15 with Hello UI on top out of the box. The interface is clean, well-optimised and easy to live with day to day.

Should You Buy the Motorola G86 Power 5G?

It's not perfect though — no wireless charging and no 3.5mm headphone jack may bother some buyers.
