Moto G Stylus review: The highs and lows of a $300 smartphone

The $300 Moto G Stylus is a capable smartphone with a stylus that makes it easy to take notes and make handwritten lists on the fly. The doodling experience is hampered by a lack of palm rejection, but the fact that the option remains to take quick,...

One of the few budget smartphones with a stylus ; Cinemagraph is an easy way to make personal animated gifs ; Runs a mostly clean version of Android 10 ; An actual headphone jack ; Macro lens is a surprising but enjoyable choice ; Good battery life

Frustrating lack of palm rejection when using the stylus ; Plastic hardware ; No NFC ; Night Mode photography isn’t great

Moto G Stylus 5G Review: Great Specs For $500 But Limited Software Updates

Excellent value for its price, but a short update timeline could affect its long-term value.

Optical image stabilization ; Dolby Atmos and a headphone jack ; Built-in stylus with software features

Only one promised software upgrade ; Video quality isn't as good as the photos ; Tall screen may be awkward

The new Moto G Stylus and G Power are surprisingly adept cameraphones

The do-it-all phone can do more than ever.

Big improvements in the camera department ; Good battery life ; No branding on the front

Not a reliable shooter from the hip ; Lousy palm rejection while using stylus ; Still no NFC or wireless charging ; No waterproofing

Motorola’s latest budget phones, the Moto G Stylus and G Power, boast big improvements in the photography department. They look better than ever and also include all of the features that have come to define Moto’s G series.

Moto G Stylus Review

If you're shopping for a smartphone with a built-in stylus, you can spend big bucks on Samsung's Galaxy Note 10, which is terrific but costs upwards of $1,000, or far less on LG's Stylo 5, which is often free with carrier subsidies but falls short on...

Comes with a stylus Excellent performance Solid stereo speakers Long battery life

Lacks palm rejection No NFC Questionable durability

The Moto G Stylus is a very good midrange phone with a big, bright screen, long battery life, and a built-in stylus for taking notes.

Motorola Moto G Stylus review (2021): a Galaxy Note for the rest of us

The $300 Motorola Moto G Stylus was first introduced early 2020 with -- you guessed it -- a small built-in capacitive stylus, plus a few related software tweaks. It was well-received, so it makes sense Motorola Moto G Stylus review: The 2021 Moto G...

Beautiful display ; Solid battery life ; Headphone jack ; Superior user experience ; Almost stock Android

It’s really big ; Plastic build ; Middling cameras ; Mono speaker ; No NFC

The 2nd gen Moto G Stylus offers a rich experience but with poor cameras

Moto G Stylus 5G review

The Moto G Stylus 5G tweaks some things from its 4G predecessor. It offers a great stylus experience, a huge screen and battery, but its price feels a bit high.

Stylus is very useful ; Excellent battery life ; Good display ; Amplef storage and RAM

Cameras don’t impress ; Limited updates ; Performance underwhelms ; A bit pricey for what’s on offer

If you want a stylus phone without paying Galaxy S or Note prices, this is your best bet. Motorola did a great job with the stylus experience and I found myself enjoying using it for notes or quick adjustments in photo editing. But people who want a...

Motorola's affordable Moto G Stylus asks "who needs a Note?"

There's something about using a stylus that's just incredibly compelling. Sure, touchscreen hardware and finger-tracking algorithms are so good that few

Stylus ; I'm still not a big fan of capacitive styluses, but for users who do want one, Moto's design is improved this year and the software support is solid. ; Battery life ; Sure, it might be even better if we traded the stylus for some extra battery...

Charging ; Neither high-speed nor wireless, we're clearly in budget territory. ; Display ; Too big by half, ugly shadows around the edges, and stuttering frame rates. ; Performance ; The silicon here's sufficient to get stuff done, but jerky scrolling...

Moto G Stylus review

The Moto G Stylus finds itself in a bit of a pickle. This mid-range phone debuts at the same time as both the Moto G Power and Moto G Fast. It should come as no surprise for a trio phones that come from the same manufacturer and sport similar price...

Handy stylus for note-taking Decent photos and performance for the price Long-lasting battery

Screen isn’t very colorful Limited functionality for stylus Night mode isn’t great

The Moto G Stylus features a handy stylus for note-taking and lasts a long time on a charge. But the Moto G Power has a bigger battery, costs less and is the better value.
