Motorola ’s stylus phone has always been a bit of an outlier — in a good way. While everyone else in the mid-range segment is busy chasing megapixels and benchmark scores, the Moto G Stylus continues to double down on something far more personal: giving you a pen and asking, “What do you want to create today?” This year, though, it’s not just about having a stylus; it’s about finally making it feel even more smart.
The built-in active stylus now supports tilt and pressure sensitivity. That means sketching, scribbling, or even just jotting down grocery lists feels a lot closer to pen on paper. Motorola is also leaning heavily into AI to make the stylus feel more like a companion. Features like Sketch to Image and Handwriting Calculator make it clear this isn’t just about nostalgia for handwritten notes — it’s about making them useful again. And then there are small touches like Quick Clip for instant note sharing, drag-and-drop for images, and even hover-to-magnify for when your eyes need a little help. The stylus also charges quickly and lasts long enough for everyday usage.Motorola clearly didn’t want the stylus to overshadow everything else. The camera system here is great, too. You get a 50MP main sensor with a Sony LYTIA 700C, backed by OIS and pixel tech designed to keep shots sharp, even when the lighting isn’t doing you any favors. There’s also a 13MP ultrawide + macro combo, a 32MP selfie camera that adapts to group shots, and 4K video recording across all lenses. As for the display, this phone features a 6.7-inch, 120Hz AMOLED panel with 1.5K resolution and peak brightness up to 5000 nits. Motorola is also making a strong case for durability this year. The phone comes with IP68 and IP69 ratings, as well as military-grade toughness. So, it can handle drops, dust, water, and the occasional moment of clumsiness. The design itself leans a bit more stylish this time, with a leather-inspired finish and Pantone-curated colors like Coal Smoke and Lavender Mist. I really love Motorola’s design game, and I feel no one can really beat that in the mid-range segment. A 5200 mAh battery powers the whole thing, promising up to 44 hours of use. And when you do manage to drain it, 68W fast charging gets you back in the game quickly. Running on Android 16, the Moto G Stylus also brings in Google Gemini for AI-powered help across tasks like writing and planning. The Moto G Stylus is priced at $499.99 in the US and goes on sale starting April 16 across platforms like Amazon, Best Buy, and Motorola’s official website.
