Fresh leak reveals Motorola Moto G86's entire body (and colors)
Based on the name of the phone, the Moto G86 will be a better mid-range phone compared to the Moto G56, but also more expensive. Unsurprising, the two Moto G series phones look about the same, only their colors and dimensions seem to be different, at least according to the latest high-resolution pictures leaked recently. The Moto G86 will be available in at least four different PANTONE-certified colors: Cosmic Sky, Spellbound, Chrysantemum, and Golden Cypress. These are just marketing names for Blue, Black, Pink, and Green colors.

Some of these variants will feature 8GB RAM, while others come with 12GB RAM. As far as the specs go, these are just rumors, but it looks like Motorola decided to use MediaTek's chipset for its entire Moto G series. That said, the Moto G86 is said to pack a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset, a slightly better chip than Moto G56's Dimensity 7060.In the camera department, the Moto G86 seems to use the standard dual setup: 50-megapixel Sony LYT-600 main sensor and 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle snapper. In the front, the Moto G86 has a large 32-megapixel selfie camera, the same that's rumored to be packed inside the Moto G56.

Moving on to the front part, the Moto G86 is rumored to feature a 6.67-inch pOLED display with 1.5K resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate. That would make the Moto G86 smaller than that Moto G56, which sports a 6.72-inch panel.
However, just like the Moto G56, the Moto G86 packs a decent 5,200 mAh battery with support for 33W wired charging speeds. It will also come with some sort of dust and water protection, possibly IP68 and IP69 rating, but this hasn't been confirmed yet.
Other highlights of the phone include dual-stereo speaker setup featuring Dolby Atmos support, USB Type-C, and Android 15.

Strangely enough, the Moto G86 doesn't bring too many upgrades over the Moto G85. It has a slightly better chipset and a bigger battery (not by much), but that's about it. If these leaked specs prove to be accurate, the Moto G86 won't be as appealing as the Moto G56 because the improvements are minimal.

Deals: Moto Razr prices drop to compete with the Z Flip7 and FE, Galaxy S25 series also discounted
Peter, 01 August 2025 Samsung launched its next generation of foldables last week, but they are not without competition. Google will unveil the Pixel 10 Pro Fold (and the rest of the Pixel 10 series) on August 20 to compete with the Z Fold. Meanwhile, the two Z Flip models have to go up against Motorola's Razrs right now. The Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 carries a $200 discount, which evens out with the free storage upgrade on the Galaxy Z Flip7, making the 512GB models cost the same - $1,100. The Razr Ultra is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, while the Galaxy has a Samsung Exynos – yes, even in the US this time. The 7.0' inner display of the Moto stands out with a slightly higher pixel density, higher brightness (4,500 nits vs. 2,600 nits), Dolby Vision support and higher refresh rate (165Hz vs. 120Hz). The cover displays are more evenly matched – 4.0' 165Hz 3,000 nits vs. 4.1' 120Hz 2,600 nits for the Moto and Samsung, respectively. The main cameras on both phones have 50MP sensors with 1.0µm pixels and f/1.8 lenses with OIS. The Motorola has the better ultra-wide (50MP vs. 12MP) and selfie cameras (50MP vs. 10MP), however. It also has a bigger battery (4,700mAh vs. 4,300mAh) with faster charging (68W wired, 30W wireless vs. 25W/15W). Both phones have the same IP48 rating, but the Razr Ultra is chunkier – it is 15.7mm folded, 7.2mm unfolded and weighs 199g, while the Z Flip7 is 13.7mm folded, 6.5mm unfolded and weighs 188g. We'll leave the choice between Hello UI and One UI to you. Motorola also refreshed the 2024 flagship as the Razr+ 2025. It gets the better ingress protection (IP48) and some new colors, but that's about it. You are still looking at a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 phone with 6.9' main (165Hz, Dolby Vision, 3,000 nits) and 4.0' cover displays and a 4,000mAh battery with 45W wired and 15W wireless charging. Unfortunately, the current discount is not very favorable – if you're spending near $1,000, you may as well spend a bit more and get a proper flagship. Motorola Razr+ 2025 $50 off Read our review 12/256GB - $950 at Amazon US Instead, have a look at the Motorola Razr 2025, the actual budget option this year. It's only $600 and measures up to the Razr+ 2025 pretty well in most categories except for the chipset – the Dimensity 7400X is well behind the Snapdragon in terms of performance. Motorola Razr 2025 $100 off Read our review 8/256GB - $600 at Amazon US The 2025 vanilla model is a fairly minor upgrade over the Motorola Razr 2024. The Dimensity 7400X is essentially an overclocked 7300X and the IP4X ingress protection only guards against large particles (1mm), not dust. So, you may be tempted to save $100 and go for the 2024 model, but be warned – it will only get 3 OS updates and 4 years of security patches. Considering that it launched with Android 14 and the Android 16 update should be coming soon, leaving you with only 1 OS update to go. At least security patches will keep rolling in until 2028. Motorola Razr 2024 $100 off Read our review 8/256GB - $500 at Amazon US Both of these phones are competing against the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE. Itself a sort of re-release of a 2024 model, this one uses the Exynos 2500 – it's better than the Dimensity 7300X/7400X, but for this price you may be better off with the Razr+ and the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. The Z Flip7 FE has that weirdly-shaped 3.4' cover display, a smaller 6.7' inner display and a smaller 4,000mAh battery with 25W/15W charging. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE Read our review 8/256GB - $960 at Amazon US At this point you should be well familiar with the Galaxy S25 series, so we'll go over them quickly. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is $300 off, so the base 12/256GB model starts at $1,000. The thin and light Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is also $300 off, but note that only the 512GB variant is in stock. With a price of $920, it's $200 cheaper than the 512GB S25 Ultra. Check out our Galaxy S25 Edge vs. S25 Ultra article if you need help deciding between these two. The Samsung Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 just don't have particularly impressive discounts at the moment – the vanilla model especially. If you're looking at the Plus, make sure to check out our S25+ vs. S25 Edge article for a detailed comparison since they both cost practically the same at the moment. Samsung Galaxy S25+ $170 off Read our review 12/512GB - $950 at Amazon US Samsung Galaxy S25 $80 off Read our review 12/256GB - $780 at Amazon US Leaving the world of Android behind, let's wrap up with some MacBooks. This year Apple refreshed the MacBook Air 13.6' and 15.3' models with the M4 chip and an improved 12MP Center Stage camera (borrowed from the Pros). There are several RAM and storage configurations to choose from with the base 12/256GB 13.6' model starting at $800 and the 15.3' one starting at $1,000 after a $200 discount for both. The Apple MacBook Pro 14.2' and 16.2' come with a mix of M4 chips and even more options for RAM and storage. The Pro displays are sharper and have double the brightness (1,000 nits), plus they are ProMotion displays, i.e. they run at 120Hz instead of 60Hz. They are slightly larger too, but the Air laptops are thinner and lighter. We may get a commission from qualifying sales.

I find the Garmin Vivoactive 5 a no-brainer for budget-conscious shoppers at $110 off
Though I'm more of a Galaxy Watch fan, I'm a bargain hunter first. And as someone who's constantly on the lookout for incredible smartwatch deals, I couldn't resist telling you about Amazon's offer on the Garmin Vivoactive 5. The retailer is selling this puppy at a sweet 37% discount, letting you score one for just under $190. That means you'll save $110, which is a pretty awesome deal, if you ask me. $110 off (37%) Act fast and save $110 on the Garmin Vivoactive 5 on Amazon with this awesome deal. The smartwatch is laded with features, has an OLED display, offers up to 11 days of battery life, and is a great choice for someone on a budget. Don't miss out! Buy at Amazon While I wouldn't exactly categorize the Vivoactive 5 as one of the best smartwatches on the market, I'd definitely consider getting one if I were looking for a more affordable lifestyle Garmin timepiece and didn't want to overspend on the Venu 3. It may lack Venu 3's premium feel, since it's made of plastic, but it's packed with features, including energy monitoring and a dedicated sleep coach to help you track and improve your sleep. Another feature I really appreciate is Garmin Coach, which provides training plans that adapt to you.I also really like the fact that it supports smart notifications, Garmin Pay, and Garmin's Connect IQ store, where you can find various apps and watch faces. However, a big drawback for me is the lack of a built-in microphone, as it means you can't take phone calls directly from it. At the very least, it comes with a vibrant AMOLED touchscreen display and offers up to 11 days of use on a single charge. And honestly, I'd say the lack of a microphone is a forgivable drawback when you consider you'll probably forget the last time you charged your smartwatch. So, yeah! For me, the Garmin Vivoactive 5 is a no-brainer if you want a feature-rich Garmin smartwatch without breaking the bank. If it fits the bill for you, too, don't miss out.

The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 may be getting a new color that could replace this fan-favorite
We reported on the leaked colors for the Pixel 10 series, with Moonstone (a bluish tone) and Jade (a green variant) expected to headline this year's palette. The Pixel Watch 4 is also tipped to come in Moonstone, suggesting a broader color strategy across Google's ecosystem. Now, a product listing on the Google Store was spotted which briefly showed off the Pixel Buds Pro 2 in the same Moonstone hue, alongside updated images. This also suggests that Google has the intention to unify its device colorways, at least across its premium hardware.

However, the product photos still showed the Hazel version, casting some doubt on whether this was a placeholder or a genuine change. As of now, Google has removed both Moonstone and Obsidian from the site, and the previously removed Wintergreen model is back—although it's marked as "out of stock." New colorways that were temporarily present in the listing for the Pixel Buds Pro 2. | Image credit — 9to5Google This wouldn't be the first time Google shifts its accessory lineup to align with flagship device colors. When the original Pixel Buds Pro launched in 2022, they were later updated with Porcelain and Bay colors to match the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. Now, Google seems to be taking it one step further by synchronizing colors across phones, watches, and earbuds. It's also worth noting that Apple follows a similar playbook, often coordinating the colors of its iPhones, AirPods cases, and Apple Watch bands to offer a seamless aesthetic. Samsung too has played into this strategy with Galaxy Buds colors that match the Galaxy S and Z series phones. With the Pixel 10 , Pixel Watch 4 , and possibly the Pixel Buds 2a set to debut on August 20, we're expecting Google to formally unveil this Moonstone variant during the event. Whether or not Obsidian replaces Hazel remains to be seen. Personally, I think that adding color consistency across Pixel devices is a welcome move. It adds a sense of cohesion for buyers who like matching tech, and it signals that Google is thinking more holistically about its ecosystem. Still, quietly pulling listings from the store after they've been spotted shows the company still struggles with controlled product communication — even when the launch is just weeks away.
