What the reviewers said

PC-Welt DE

3/5Aug 8, 2026

A mediocre budget phone whose price rose sharply over its predecessor; weaker performance and crowded lineup make it hard to recommend.

  • Solid build quality with IP68/IP69 and MIL-STD-810H rating
  • Clean, well-organized software experience
  • Larger, higher-resolution 120 Hz AMOLED display than predecessor
  • Reliable under-display fingerprint sensor
  • Significant price increase over the predecessor
  • Dimensity 6400 performs worse than the G86 5G's chip
  • Weak 8MP ultrawide camera and no telephoto
  • Annoying preinstalled apps
  • Rivals like Nothing Phone (4a) and Poco X8 Pro offer more

Tech Advisor UK

3/5Jul 15, 2026

A solidly built, clean-software phone that is held back by a steep price hike, a downgraded chip, and weak cameras; hard to recommend over rivals.

  • Solid build with IP68/IP69 and MIL-STD 810H rating
  • Clean, slick Android software
  • Larger, bright 6.78-inch 120Hz AMOLED display
  • Reliable under-display fingerprint sensor
  • Battery lasts a full day
  • Major price hike over the G86 5G
  • Performance worse than the predecessor's chip
  • Weak 8MP ultra-wide camera and mixed main camera
  • Video limited to 1080p at 30fps
  • Annoying preinstalled apps

7.5/10Jun 26, 2026

A solid mid-range Moto G with good build, a bright display and decent battery life, but micro-lag, average ultrawide camera and a high price hold it back.

  • Slim, well-built body with pleasant rubberized back
  • Bright, high-quality 120Hz AMOLED display
  • Good battery life for a thin phone
  • Expandable storage via microSD
  • IP69 water and dust resistance
  • System shows micro lag in everyday tasks
  • Ultrawide camera is underwhelming
  • Night photos are weak
  • Price feels high for the segment
  • Some bloatware preinstalled

Verdicts, pros and cons are short summaries in our words of each publisher's review; scores are as the publisher gave them. Specs are taken from the reviews' spec boxes — where they differ, we show the value most of them give; price is the US launch price of the base model. Read the originals for the full picture.
