Just stumbled across the Moto G 86 - anyone have any thoughts on that?

Looks like a good phone at today's Argos price.  (£200)
When I looked yesterday, I discounted it as a phone to comment on as it did not seem massively better than the G55 which I mentioned (at £150) plus it was £280.

However, it still seems to have the one sim plus e-sim.

Argos:

• Dual SIM phone: supports 2 SIM simultaneously.
• SIM card type: nano SIM and eSIM.
• Dual eSIM support.

Motorolla:

SIM Card
Dual SIM (1 nano SIM + eSIM)

I have to be honest, having had so many Moto G phones in a row with 2 actual SIM slots, plus the micro-SD card, I am surprised that these are now reverting to single-SIM.  The dual-SIM was also a USP of the Moto G series.
I wonder whether there are actually two proper SIM slots and it is the listings that are confusing.
If you had the time, you could go to Argos, buy a phone and, in front of the store staff, open it up to check the actual SIM slots.  If there is only one SIM-slot, then return immediately under the Argos return policy.
Or find a Curry's with one on display.

Only one physical sim slot

£199 Moto Edge 60 Fusion + free ear buds is better deal than £199 G86, in my opinion

Hmm - good spot folks

Strange that GSM Arena says two nano sims, but Argos doesn't.

Onwards ...

I did not search for the deal, but that also seems to only have 1 physical SIM slot.
