Motorola is shaking up the Australian smartphone market with two impressive new additions to its popular moto g series: the moto g56 5G and the moto g86 power 5G. These new devices are set to challenge what consumers can expect from a smartphone under $500, boasting a powerful combination of long-lasting battery life, stunning entertainment features, and high-quality cameras.

Forget flimsy phones. Both new moto g devices are crafted from premium materials and built to withstand the rigours of everyday life. They feature IP68 and IP69 water and dust protection, meaning they can handle splashes, spills, and even submersion. With military-grade resilience and damage-resistant Corning Glass, these phones are designed to bounce back from life’s unexpected tumbles.

“At Motorola, our focus has always been on delivering meaningful innovation that’s within reach for everyone,” said Praveena Raman, Head of Motorola, ANZ. “These latest additions to the moto g family continue that legacy, offering unmatched, advanced technology while remaining under the $500 mark.”

Get ready for an immersive visual experience with both phones sporting a stunning 6.7-inch ultra-bright display. Perfect for binge-watching your favourite shows, video calling family and friends, or scrolling through social media, these screens deliver bold, vibrant visuals.

moto g86 power 5G: Power That Lasts and Lasts

For those who need a phone that can keep up with their non-stop lifestyle, the moto g86 power 5G is your answer. It boasts Motorola’s largest and longest-lasting battery yet – a massive 6720mAh that delivers an incredible up to 53 hours of power on a single charge! This means you can go on weekend adventures, tackle back-to-back meetings, and stream for hours without worrying about finding a power outlet.

Beyond its epic battery, the moto g86 power 5G is powered by a fast MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor and comes with up to 8GB of RAM (expandable to 24GB with RAM Boost), ensuring smooth multitasking. Photography enthusiasts will love the 50MP Sony LYTIA™ 600 sensor with moto ai, capturing crisp and detailed images even in low light, thanks to optical image stabilisation (OIS).

The moto g56 5G is designed for those who appreciate both sleek design and impressive performance. It features a soft, easy-to-grip premium finish that looks and feels refined, alongside the same military-grade toughness and Corning Gorilla Glass 7i for enhanced durability.

When it comes to entertainment, the moto g56 5G shines with its super-bright 6.7-inch FHD+ display and powerful stereo speakers featuring Bass Boost and Dolby Atmos®. This delivers rich, immersive audio that you’d typically expect from more expensive devices. Capture stunning photos with the 50MP Sony LYTIA 600 camera system with Quad Pixel technology, and snap high-resolution selfies with the 32MP front camera.

Under the hood, the MediaTek Dimensity 7060 processor ensures fast performance for multitasking and streaming, while a robust 5200mAh battery keeps you powered throughout the day. Plus, with TurboPower 30 charging, you can get a day’s worth of battery in just 36 minutes which is snapping at the heels of OPPO SUPERVOOC charging.
