Motorola launches new moto g devices with the g56 5G and g86 Power 5G
Mobile communications leader, Motorola, is expanding its mid-tier lineup with two feature-packed new additions: the moto g56 5G and moto g86 power 5G. Delivering an impressive mix of features, focusing on powerful battery life, stunning entertainment and vivid capture, both devices challenge the limits of what Australians can expect from a smartphone under $500.
Crafted from premium materials, the new moto g devices combine durability and entertainment in one sleek package. With IP68/69 water and dust protection8, military-grade resilience, and damage-resistant Corning® Glass9, they’re built to withstand life’s unexpected moments. Each device also features a stunning 6.7″ ultra-bright display that delivers bold immersive visuals – perfect for binge-watching series, video-calling loved ones, or scrolling social feeds.
Praveena Raman, Head of Motorola, ANZ said, “At Motorola, our focus has always been on delivering meaningful innovation that’s within reach for everyone. These latest additions to the moto g family continue that legacy, offering unmatched, advanced technology while remaining under the $500 mark.
“We’ve listened closely to what our consumers want, and the moto g86 power 5G was built with this feedback in mind. It features our largest battery yet, a powerful 6720mAh19 delivering up to 53 hours of power on a single charge15, so users can stay connected longer without compromise.
“The moto g56 5G, on the other hand, is all about complementing the everyday while elevating entertainment. Its splendour doesn’t end at its beautiful design and impressive durability. It’s also equipped with a super bright 6.7’ display, and immersive sound, thanks to Bass Boost13 and Dolby Atmos®, delivering rich audio you’d typically expect of more premium devices.”
The moto g86 power 5G is built for those who never want to slow down. Whether it’s a weekend away, back-to-back meetings, or hours of streaming, this device is built to keep up. Powered by a massive 6720mAh battery19, Motorola’s largest and longest-lasting to date, users can enjoy up to 53 hours of power on a single charge15.
The battery works alongside the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor, which is even faster than the previous generation. This combination lets consumers use their device with ease, regardless of what they’re trying to accomplish. Further contributing to the device’s dependability, the moto g86 power 5G is paired with up to 8GB of RAM – up to 24GB expandable with RAM Boost11. This allows consumers to smoothly navigate between apps and gives them even more room to multitask. Users will also receive up to 128GB of storage for apps, photos, and everything in between21.
Engineered for real-life challenges, the device boasts an IP68/IP69 rating8, providing advanced protection from dust, dirt, sand, and high-pressure water, including submersion in up to 1.5 meters of fresh water for up to 30 minutes. The same goes for its MIL-STD-810H certification7, which allows it to withstand extreme temperatures, pressure changes, altitudes and drops. To help protect the display from scratches and fails, this device also features damage-resistant Corning® Gorilla® Glass 7i.
At the heart of the experience is a stunning 6.7″ Super HD display, capable of displaying over a billion shades of colour with 10-bit depth. Whether streaming, gaming, or scrolling, the ultra-bright screen delivers vibrant and smooth visuals in any lighting environment.
For those who love to push the boundaries of mobile photography, the g86 power 5G is equipped with a 50MP Sony LYTIA™ 600 sensor, enhanced by moto ai. From fast-paced adventures to low-light moments, users can capture crisp, detailed images with ease while optical image stabilisation (OIS) ensures every shot is sharp and steady.
The experience of the g86 power 5G is rounded out with exclusive moto features like moto Unplugged, helping users stay present by reducing distractions, and moto Secure, which makes managing privacy and security simple, intuitive, and all in one plac
The moto g56 5G is designed to meet the needs of those who want both style and substance. It blends sleek, modern design with practical durability, featuring a soft, easy-to-grip premium finish that looks and feels refined. Built to handle the unexpected, the device offers military-grade toughness7, underwater protection8, and Corning® Gorilla® Glass 7i, providing enhanced scratch resistance and three times better drop protection than its predecessor9.
Entertainment is front and centre with the super-bright 6.7″ FHD+ display, delivering vivid visuals that make streaming, gaming and scrolling more immersive than ever. Complementing the visual experience, the g56 5G features powerful stereo speakers, Bass Boost13, and Dolby Atmos®, giving users deeper bass, cleaner vocals, and greater clarity even at high volumes.
Photography is also taken to the next level with the 50MP Sony LYTIA™ 600 camera system, powered by moto ai14. With Quad Pixel technology, users can capture detailed, vibrant shots in any lighting condition. The addition of an ultrawide lens helps fit more into the frame, while the 32MP front camera ensures stunning, high-resolution selfies.
Under the hood, the MediaTek Dimensity 7060 processor with HyperEngine Gaming technology delivers fast performance across everything from multitasking to high-speed downloads and lag-free streaming. Paired with a robust 5200mAh battery, the g56 5G keeps users powered throughout the day and when it’s time to recharge, TurboPower™ 30 provides a day’s worth of battery in just 36 minutes17.
With 256GB of built-in space for photos, apps, music and more, plus support for expandable storage up to 1TB via microSD™ card6, users never have to worry about the lack of storage.
