If you want a new inexpensive phone with a stylus, your options are limited. With LG leaving the smartphone market and Samsung’s Galaxy S22 Note Ultra priced substantially higher, just Motorola’s Moto G Stylus remains to maintain the line.
This year’s 4G-only Moto G Stylus maintains a superb combination of features and cost-cutting measures. It’s a terrific phone for the price, whether you’re a stylus fanatic or just interested in them.
It sports a large 6.8-inch LCD display with 1080p quality, a 5,000mAh battery, and enough internal storage with 128GB space. The G Stylus handles everyday chores well, thanks to a powerful MediaTek Helio G88 engine and a robust 6GB of RAM. The cameras, while faulty, are adequate for the job. You won’t find a spectacular night mode or top-tier picture quality here, but it’s adequate for a phone for around $300.
The stylus on the Moto G Stylus, like the one on the Galaxy S22 Ultra, is incorporated into the device. When you pull it out, a brief menu of shortcuts to stylus-friendly apps, such as its coloring book app, appears. It has a feature set designed for a more casual user than the S22 Ultra, and as a result, it feels more approachable.
This version of the G Stylus lacks 5G, but 5G networks on all US carriers will improve significantly over the next few years. However, if you’re content with 4G speeds and want a reasonable value on a phone with a large screen, this is a wonderful alternative.
