The phone also has a flat screen with slim bezels on the sides, though the top and bottom bezels are slightly thicker. Around the back, there’s a 50 MP main camera that uses a Sony Lytia sensor and has optical image stabilization. While not much is known about the rest of the camera setup, Lytia sensors are considered solid performers, often aimed at mid-to-high-end smartphones. Dolby Atmos support is also confirmed, pointing to some attention being paid to audio quality.

Here’s what the leak reveals so far:
- 50 MP main camera with Sony Lytia sensor and OIS
- Flat screen with slim side bezels
- Rear material: felt-textile blend (purple) or faux leather (blue)
- Dolby Atmos audio
- 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage
- Expected price: €330 in Europe
There’s no launch date just yet, and availability outside of Europe remains unclear. It’s worth noting that the Moto G85 was never officially released in the U.S., which could mean the G86 is also skipping the American market.
If that’s the case, it would be a bit disappointing. The G86 looks like a phone that stands out from the crowd, not just because of the textures, but also because of how it borrows premium design cues. For a budget-friendly phone, it could end up feeling a lot more upscale than expected — assuming it ever gets a global release.
