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.

Did google just accidentally leak a HomePod Mini competitor?
The dust has barely settled on the latest "Made by Google" keynote, and while everyone is busy talking about the new Pixel phones and the Pixel Watch, some with sharper eyes noticed something... odd. Front and center on a side table during the segment that featured F1 star Lando Norris, appeared a small, round speaker that looked suspiciously familiar. It was so familiar, in fact, that it caused a collective double-take. It looked almost exactly like an Apple HomePod Mini, except it couldn't be. F1 star Lando Norris sits beside a suspiciously looking smart speaker. | Image credit — The Verge Now, let's be perfectly clear: this was a Google event. There is absolutely no chance that the company would use a competitor's flagship smart speaker as set dressing. That just doesn't happen. So, what was it? The device we saw was a small, spherical speaker that seems to share the same fabric-covered aesthetic as the rest of Google's Nest lineup. Its diminutive size, however, immediately brings Apple's popular compact speaker to mind, which has left us with a lot of questions. The Apple HomePod Mini has carved out a successful niche for itself by offering surprisingly robust sound and deep Siri integration in a very small footprint. It acts as a smart home hub for HomeKit and fits seamlessly into Apple's ecosystem. Google's own Nest Mini is a great, affordable entry point for the Google Assistant, but it has never been praised for its audio prowess. It's a utility device first and a speaker second. If this mystery device is what we think it is, Google could be preparing to launch a direct competitor to the HomePod Mini—a compact speaker that doesn't compromise on sound. Gift The Tensor G5-powered Pixel 10 has just been announced, and it's already available for pre-order at Amazon with a sweet $100 gift card. Reserve yours before this promo expires. Pre-order at Amazon Gift Looking for a more flagship Pixel 10 experience in a compact form factor? Consider the Pixel 10 Pro instead! It's available for pre-order at Amazon with a $200 gift card! Pre-order at Amazon Gift Users after a larger screen and a serious Gemini AI prowess should consider the latest Google Pixel 10 Pro XL. The just-announced flagship is available for pre-order with a $200 Amazon Gift Card. Pre-order at Amazon I'm of the opinion that this is almost certainly not an accident. Companies know that eagle-eyed fans will scrutinize every frame of their presentations, and this feels like a deliberate, soft tease of a future product. A "Nest Audio Mini," if you will, would perfectly fill a gap in Google's current hardware lineup. It would offer a high-quality audio experience for those who want something smaller than the Nest Audio and better sounding than the Nest Mini. We have no official confirmation, and this is most definitely a guess, but it might look like Google is getting ready to answer Apple's challenge in the small speaker space, and that's a very exciting prospect.

Or should I say "ending". Google plans to gradually phase out Assistant on its smart speakers and displays, transitioning users to Gemini for Home. The new service will be offered in both free and subscription tiers, with early access starting in October and more information to say hello to the brand-new Gemini for Home , which will take advantage of Google's Gemini AI model. What this means is that Gemini for Home should be able to help you with "virtually any topic imaginable", as the Big G puts it: from brainstorming to conversing and problem-solving. The dialogue should be back-and-forth, and still has to say "Hey Google" to trigger it on, but that's where the similarities with the previous Google Assistant for Home is designed to take on a broader role in daily life, and its creators say it's going to be easier to manage entertainment, household tasks, and personal routines. When it comes to media, it can track down and play music or other content across different streaming platforms, whether you want a specific award-winning track from decades ago or a song tied to a recent are upgraded smart home controls that allow for more nuanced and efficient commands. You can adjust several settings at once, like dimming the lights while setting the thermostat, or give complex instructions that require reasoning, such as leaving only one room illuminated while turning off lights elsewhere. Now that I come to think of it, I was the Gemini for Home back when I was a kid in our home and did what was told (most of the time).Besides that, Gemini offers more natural language support, making it simple to create calendar events, shopping lists, and timers easier. At its core, Gemini also doubles as a capable assistant for questions of all kinds. It can provide tailored advice on practical issues, such as keeping animals out of the yard, or help with travel planning by weighing factors like weather, crowds, and prices to suggest the best time to visit a destination.

Pixel AI doing it right? The new Camera Coach looks promising...
OK, I am generally skeptical about all the new AI features coming out with new phones. Sometimes, it feels that developers are just throwing spaghetti at the wall. Sometimes, things that were promised don't come to be — imagine calling your entire ecosystem Apple Intelligence and then not delivering on a third of the presentation. But, sometimes, somehow, an AI feature lands and makes you go "Well, that makes sense". Like Live Translate for phone calls. Yeah, Samsung did it with the Galaxy S24 line. I felt like "it made sense", but was quite underbaked. Now, in comes Google with the next-gen AI tech. Firstly, they improved phone call Live Translate. Like by... a lot — it looks like it's faster, but it also generates the translations using your own voice. Yes, sure, it may be creepy..., but also cool. But that's not what I am here to talk about. What really had my ears perked was the new Camera Coach feature — it uses AI to figure out what you are trying to photograph, and gives you guides on how to improve framing. I was going to write about Camera Coach in an entirely different tone, really. I had snarky remarks and video blurbs ready to go, about how it has AI guiding your hand, taking human expression out of the equation when we talk about photos. "Unless,..." — I was about to end my post — "Unless it actually tells you why it's making the suggestions that it is, so it would slowly teach you about photography, too". Because, let's face it — a lot of people take pretty bad photos. I am not saying I am amazing at it, but after a few years of reviewing phones and their cameras, I kind of picked up on this and that (read: boss forced me to learn). Really basic principles that aren't the end-all be-all of photography, but you should kind of understand in order to be able to get a generally OK photo. And sometimes, when I hand my phone to someone else to take a picture of me — I get reminded that a lot of people just don't know of these principles. It's how I end up with photos of me where my head is shaped like a banana, my legs are facing towards the camera in a weird fashion, there's a ton of headroom above me, the subject of the photo is unclear, the light source is in the frame, et cetera, et cetera. I've even had to teach someone that you can tap on the viewfinder if you want the phone to adjust its focus to something that's further away. Mind-blowing stuff, I know. Now, it probably won't teach you all about Pro camera settings like shutter speed, aperture values, and whatnot, but what we saw at the Pixel presentation made a lot of sense if you simply want to teach people proper framing. The AI first looks at the scene you are trying to capture, then asks — are you trying to take a portrait here or a more general shot of the mood of the room, or something else. Pick the style you are going for After that, it'll tell you if you need to go closer, go lower, back off, look up or down, et cetera. But more importantly — most importantly — it gives you a short blurb of text to let you know exactly why you are doing this. Like "Lower the camera to eye level for a more personal photo" or "Place the head in the upper part of the frame to follow the rule of thirds". Helpful tips and short explanation Now, they are short blurbs, and they don't take the time to explain what the rule of thirds is. But by simply knowing such a thing exists, you are now free to Google Gemini it, right? Especially on a Pixel phone, ha! For example, Samsung has had Shot Suggestions within the camera app for some time now. It's much more basic, and simply gives you a point in the frame where you should center your camera, and an angle to rotate it to. No word on why the phone thinks that'd look good and — spoiler — it often doesn't. So, I am glad this is not what the Google Camera Coach is, or at least not what it's trying to be. I'll test it further when I get my hands on it. So, in general, my view on the never-ending wave of new AI features hasn't budged by much. But I just had an a-ha moment, which helped adjust it. A lot of the AI features that we get are sold to us as a "Problem solver that does it all on its own". That's when you will typically hear me groan. First, a lot of the times it's not "smart" enough to fully do a good job at it, without a hallucination or two. Secondly, a lot of these "Problems" are... not very problematic. Like the new Magic Cue — sure, it looks pretty impressive, but I am still iffy on whether I will want it on my phone or simply disable it. If you missed that part — it is contextually aware about the content of your received emails / texts. If someone's asking you a question, it'll go through your calendars, events, or other conversations and mails to suggest the proper answer. Like "When are you arriving?" - it looks at your plane ticket info and suggests a one-tap response with the exact time. I can't wait to see the screenshots of AI-hallucinated answers when that goes live. And to that, I ask — what problem are we solving here? My inability to type out "8:30 PM"? In my opinion, AI shines when it's used as a learning helper. Maybe it can't dive in and teach you the fine nuances and deep intricacies of any field. But it's pretty good at giving you solid basics to chase. At least that's how I've been using it recently, and I feel like it's made me a bit less stupid. So, the Camera Coach here falls in that basket — AI that's helping you learn the basics and giving you roads and rabbit holes to go down, if you so desire. Otherwise, you can still just use it to help you with the basics and at least improve your photo skills by a little bit. In other words, please stop making me into banana head man, the head should not be near the edge of the frame.
