Motorola is set to shake up the mid-range smartphone market with the introduction of the Moto G86, a device that seems to blur the lines between budget and premium offerings. Recent leaks have unveiled images and exciting specifications that suggest the Moto G86 could rival the Edge series, showcasing a a design that is anything but typical for the G-series.
Motorola appears to be taking a fresh approach with its G-series lineup. The leaked renders reveal that the Moto G86 boasts a design more reminiscent of its premium Edge counterparts than the usual G-series aesthetics. If accurate, this strategic move could indicate a unification of design across all Motorola price tiers.
The Moto G86 will be available in two unique color options: a striking purple that features a textured felt and fabric back, and a dark blue version with a more conventional faux leather finish. This design direction marks a significant departure from the standard matte or glossy plastic typically seen in Motorola’s budget devices.
