Out of the box, the Moto G86 Power 5G comes with Android 15 As an operating system, it offers Motorola's usual interface, very close to stock Android and with useful additions like Moto Gestures, Moto Unplugged, and other customization options, but without an excessively heavy layer. It also features Google Assistant as a virtual assistant, integration with Google services and artificial intelligence features for photography and device management.

6,67” hyper-bright pOLED display: designed for outdoor use and multimedia content

While the battery is the big headline of this phone, the pOLED screen is not far behind. The Moto G86 Power 5G features a panel of 6,67 inches with FHD+ resolution of 2712 x 1220 pixels, which gives it a density of 446 pixels per inch, more than enough to make text, icons and content in general look sharp.

The panel is of type pOLED with 10-bit color depth and 100% DCI-P3 coverageThis allows for the reproduction of over 1.070 billion colors and the achievement of very rich tones, with smooth transitions and a cinematic look in compatible movies and series. Furthermore, the aspect ratio is 20:9 and the screen-to-body ratio reaches approximately 90%, meaning the front is almost entirely dominated by the screen.

One of the most striking features is the maximum brightness: the screen can reach up to 4500 nits in high brightness (HDR) modeThis is an extremely high figure for a mid-range mobile phone. This ensures that the content remains visible even under low light conditions. very intense direct sunlightThis is a key feature if you use your phone for navigation, taking photos, or viewing maps outdoors.
