It might have another name in some markets.

And My Motorola one zoom still has a much more natural appearance and better colour reproduction than my Edge 50Ultra. The pictures are a bit less detailed of course. Thats a Snap 675 and it still has the best colour reproduction I have seen in a Smartphone, goes clearly above Samsung and Apples flagships as well.

I expect that the camera will still be just meh because they will use the smallest sensor they can find with that resolution and a low bit rate when Video recording + Over sharpening applied whenever you zoom. Things you can mess up if you use any SoC.

    At least, Samsung puts new SoCs in the A5X series. :)
    Until they won't. Wouldn't be surprised to see the A58 with Exynos 1680. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Atrocious choice of SOC, especially with that screen and main camera (which I'm sure will be underwhelming even for the class because of SOC). And what's up with the battery size? Only 5200mAh on such a big phone ? C'mon now.

          Motorola must now rebadge the G86 to G97.

            Sorry for the strong word but this is such bs. I would take a 48mp camera for a Dimensity 8300 SoC any time over this

              Processor downgrade and 100€ pricehike (according to notebookcheck.com). Crazy.

With that we won't find X300 Ultra, Xiaomi 17 Ultra above $1000 anymore.

                                Perhaps a variant of 6400... like 6400 Ultra, or 6400 Blue edition, or 6400 Super Saiyan edition

                                  The worst ever processor choice in a G series device!

                                    Guess what? According to MTK official specs, 6400 supports 108MP camera max.
                                    Yes, Motorola chooses to feature a 200MP camera, but the ISP cannot handle this.
                                    So, expect crazy lags if you do 200MP shots, or just use the 50MP mode.

                                      Slow as Mediatek, no way to UL BL and to change ROM

                                        That choice of SOC is awful. The 7300 in the G86 can perform 60% faster, and is much more fully featured.

                                        Also, as nice as the 200MP sensor is, it can't record any higher than 1080p video, because of the SOC.

                                        Motorola phones have had a seriously laugh camera app too, I can't imagine how laggy this thing is going to be.
