All three devices share the dual camera: Motorola uses Sony's Lytia 600 sensor with a resolution of 50 megapixels for the standard camera. The second rear camera with 8 MP takes pictures in ultra-wide-angle format. On the front, there is a 32 MP sensor in a so-called small punch hole.
Under the hood, the Moto G86 and G86 Power use Mediatek's Dimensity 7300 mobile processor, which can also be found in the Moto Edge 60. It uses eight dusty ARM cores [--[ four each of Cortex-A78 and Cortex-A55. 8 GB of RAM flank the processor, plus 256 GB of flash memory in the G86 and G56, while 512 GB are integrated as standard in the Power model. The G56 has to make do with Mediatek's Dimensity 7060. The chip developer has not even presented the processor yet; Motorola roughly speaks of eight CPU cores with older production technology (6 instead of 4 nanometers).

On the software side, all models come with Android 15 ex works. What Motorola is keeping quiet about is the update guarantee: there are no details on this either in the press release or on the product pages.
