Fresh leak reveals Motorola Moto G86's entire body (and colors)
Judging by the latest reports, Motorola will have a pretty busy couple of weeks next month. After consistent leaks about the Moto G56, another Motorola mid-range phone had just emerged online before the US-based company even announced it, the Moto G86.
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.

iPhone 17 unlikely to be part of Apple's rebrand this year
*Image credit — Majin Bu Apple is apparently going to announce a rebranding of its operating systems at this year's WWDC ( Worldwide Developers Conference ) event in June. However, industry insider Mark Gurman shares in his newsletter Power On that the company is highly unlikely to rename the iPhone 17 as operating systems — including iOS, macOS, iPadOS, and visionOS — will be numbered after current years from now on. To be precise, the operating systems will carry the number of the coming year, similar to how car manufacturers Gurman notes, is probably to give Apple more wiggle room for small software updates every now and then. Also, from a purely marketing perspective, this will make the company's software sound more the iPhone 17 , which will be coming out later this year, is unlikely to be renamed to the iPhone 26. Samsung has done that already with its Galaxy phones when it jumped straight to the Galaxy S20 series for 2020. Gurman believes that consumers are a lot more conscious of the iPhone naming convention, and that this change would be too jarring. Secondly, Apple wouldn't want its phone names to be tied to years because then an older iPhone would feel even more outdated. It's a game of the subconscious and there might be some truth to it, in my opinion. To be fair, Apple did skip the iPhone 9 for the iPhone X. | Image credit — PhoneArena Apple's renaming of its operating systems is part of a much larger rebranding effort at play. The company is redesigning all of its operating systems for an even more consistent experience across its multiple platforms that make up the Apple ecosystem. If reports are to be believed, then the new operating systems will be inspired by visionOS for the Apple Vision also believes that the renaming will help Apple divert focus at WWDC 2025. By making it seem like the software is undergoing major improvements, the attendees may not dwell on how far behind Apple is lagging in AI. Both Samsung and Google — Apple's largest smartphone competitors in the U.S. — offer a much more robust AI experience on their devices. New name or not, the iPhone 17 series will also see design changes and feature 12 GB of RAM as standard, except perhaps for the base model.

Weekly poll: would you buy the Honor 400? What about the Honor 400 Pro?
Honor's new 400 and 400 Pro phones went on sale on Friday last week – did you buy one? Do you plan to? Let's talk about this new pair of phones equipped with 200MP cameras. The duo features 200MP 1/1.4' sensors with OIS in their main cameras, plus 50MP selfie cameras – both are capable of 4K video recording. There's also a 12MP ultra-wide on each with a 112° lens with autofocus, enabling macro mode. Honor 400 Pro The Honor 400 Pro stands out with a dedicated tele camera – a 50MP 1/2.0' sensor with an OIS-enabled 3x lens. The 200MP main will do well at 2x, but image quality typically drops off at 3x and 4x. That is something that we will explore in our upcoming review of the Pro. By the way, the Pro has a pill-shaped notch as it houses a 2MP depth sensor for face unlock next to the selfie camera. The 400 Pro also has more processing power with its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a larger 6.7' display and more versatile charging options for the battery – 100W wired and 50W wireless. The battery has 5,300mAh capacity for Europe and 6,000mAh for the rest of the world. This model also has a higher water resistance rating, IP68/IP69, for submersion and water jets. Honor 400 The Honor 400 misses out on the tele camera, so it relies on the 200MP for all zooming tasks – again, this is something to explore in its upcoming review. The vanilla model is a bit smaller with its 6.55' display and features a mid-range Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset paired with 8GB of RAM (vs. 12GB on the Pro). The battery – 5,300mAh for Europe, 6,000mAh everywhere else – does 66W/80W wired-only charging. Other things to note are no Wi-Fi 7 and a lower IP65/IP66 rating. Key features: Honor 400 • Honor 400 Pro Here is the pricing info for the UK and Europe for the Honor 400 and 400 Pro: Honor 400 Honor 400 Pro 8/256GB 8/512GB 12/512GB UK £400 £450 £700 EU €500 €550 €800 Let's have a brief look at the competition – there isn't much below the flagship segment, if we're looking at phones with 200MP cameras. Really, it's only the Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro and Pro+. The Pro+ model has a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip, so it's no match even for the vanilla 400, never mind the 400 Pro. But it does have an IP68 rating and 120W charging for its 5,110mAh battery. As for the cameras, both Pro and Pro+ have 200MP mains and 8MP ultra-wides, neither has a telephoto. Note that these two launched with Android 14 and Xiaomi has only promised 3 OS updates. Meanwhile, the Honor 400s come with Android 15 out of the box and will receive 6 OS updates. On the plus side, even the Pro+ is quite cheap at €380 for a 12/512GB model (compared to €550 for an 8/512GB Honor 400). Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G (Global) • Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G • Nothing Phone (3a) Pro The Nothing Phone (3a) Pro also uses the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, but forgoes the 200MP main camera (it has a 50MP 1/1.56' module instead) in favor of a 50MP 3x telephoto. It also has an 8MP ultra-wide and a 50MP selfie camera. The 5,000mAh battery with 50W wired-only charging and IP64 rating are not great, but the €460 price undercuts the Honor 400. The Poco F7 Ultra flaunts Snapdragon 8 Elite power, giving it the upper hand in processing power. However, its cameras are more limited – 50MP main (1/1.55', OIS), 50MP 2x tele and 32MP ultra-wide. The 5,300mAh battery has 120W wired and 50W wireless charging and the phone is rated IP68. You can grab a 12/256GB model for €700. Xiaomi Poco F7 Ultra • Realme GT 7 5G • OnePlus 13T The new Realme GT 7 features the Dimensity 9400e instead. It has a 6.78' LTPO display and a 50MP 2x tele camera in addition to the 50MP main (1/1.56') and 8MP ultra-wide. Note that there is no OIS on any of the cameras. On the plus side, the phone has a massive 7,000mAh battery (yes, even in Europe) with 120W wired-only charging. It's rated IP69 and you can have a 12/256GB unit for €650. It's only available in China and coming soon to India, but the OnePlus 13T/13s has the Snapdragon 8 Elite power packed in a relatively small size with its 6.32' display. Its battery is larger than any Honor 400 variant at 6,260mAh capacity and it has 80W wired-only charging. The camera is a bit odd – 50MP main (1/1.56', OIS) and 50MP ultra-wide, but no telephoto at all and it doesn't have the benefit of a higher resolution main for zooming. That is only some of the competition that the Honor 400 series is up against. Time to vote – would you buy a 400 model? Let's vote on the Honor 400 Pro first. The extra processing power and the better image quality when zooming will certainly be felt when this phone gets in the latter half of its 6-year lifespan. But it does have a €250/£250 premium over the vanilla model and that's looking at the pricier 512GB variant. Now the Honor 400. If you can fit within 256GB storage, the price gap to the Pro opens up to €300/£300. The Pro costs nearly twice as much – is it twice as good? PS. Have a look at your local site – e.g. in the UK, the Honor 400 Pro has a £150 discount coupon (plus free TWS buds and charger), the Honor 400 gets a free storage upgrade on top of a £50 coupon. Do these deals change your outlook on the Honor 400 and 400 Pro? Honor 400 Pro 5G Honor 400 5G

Google tweaks the Pixel Weather app and makes it look better
Google really did a great job with the Pixel Weather app making it much more useful than the old Weather app that starred Froggy. Instead of a cute animation, the app is now loaded with data including an hourly forecast, a 10-day forecast, Wind speed, Precipitation, Visibility, the UV index, Humidity, Air Quality, and more. You can have the app show the weather for your current location or add more locations if you want to monitor the weather where your kids are living, or want to know the conditions where other family members or friends live. If you're planning a vacation or embarking on a business trip, you might want to know what to expect weather-wise when you arrive at your destination. The Pixel Weather app also features a Weather map which uses radar to show expected precipitation in your area over the next six-hours. With the map, you can pinch out to zoom in if you want to see a more local look at the radar in your area. If you'd rather see what the radar shows for several states near you, pinch in on the screen to zoom out. The severity of the precipitation expected in a particular area is represented by the different colors used by the radar that cover that area of the map. The old design of the Weather map on the Pixel Weather app in on the left with the new floating card look on the right. | Image credit-9to5Google Google has improved the design of the Weather map by changing the bottom sheet showing the time, the circular play/pause button for the radar, and the radar's timeline controls. With the change, the bottom is now a floating card which shows some of the map underneath the card at the left, right, and bottom of the floating card. This replaces the previous look that covered the map with the bottom sheet. You can see this in the screenshots we've embedded in this article. Most of you might consider this to be a minor change that is not a big deal but it does improve the look of the app. It also makes the Pixel Weather app more consistent across different Pixel models since the Pixel Tablet and the Pixel Fold, both large-screen devices, already use the floating card design for the Pixel Weather app. The new version of the Weather map comes with version 1.0.20250408.758982743 of the Pixel Weather app which was disseminated over the last few days. It's another example of Google tinkering with an app and making a minor change that improves the look of the app. You can install the Pixel Weather app from the Play Store by tapping on this link.
