The Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G is the brand's latest affordable smartphone, bringing 5G connectivity, a built-in stylus, a 48MP quad-camera system, and a massive 5000mAh battery — all at a price of $399 in the United States.
Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G: Display, Processor & Performance
The Moto G Stylus 5G features a large 6.8-inch LCD Full HD+ display with a resolution of 2400x1080 pixels, delivering crisp and vibrant visuals for everyday use, streaming, and productivity tasks. The display size also makes the built-in stylus more practical for note-taking and sketching on the go.
Under the hood, Motorola has fitted the device with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 5G SoC processor, which brings capable performance alongside genuine sub-6GHz 5G support. Paired with 6GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, the phone handles multitasking, app switching, and media storage with ease.
On the software side, the Moto G Stylus 5G runs Motorola's My UX skin on top of Android 11, which keeps the experience close to stock Android while adding a handful of Motorola-specific gestures and customisation options.
Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G Camera System
Photography is a key selling point of the Moto G Stylus 5G. The phone sports a quad rear camera setup led by a 48-megapixel primary sensor. This is supported by an 8-megapixel ultra-wide angle lens for expansive group shots and landscapes, a 5-megapixel macro lens for close-up detail shots, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor that helps produce portrait-mode photos with background blur.
For selfies and video calls, the smartphone includes a 16-megapixel front-facing camera, which is more than adequate for sharp self-portraits and HD video calling.
Battery, Charging & Design
The Moto G Stylus 5G is powered by a 5000mAh battery, which should comfortably last a full day of heavy use thanks to the efficient Snapdragon 480 chipset. The phone supports 10W charging — a modest rate that keeps costs down but means top-ups take longer than on premium flagship devices.
In terms of design, Motorola has launched the Moto G Stylus 5G in a single colour option: Cosmic Emerald. The design also differs from the 4G version that launched the previous year, offering a refreshed look to go alongside the upgraded internals.
