Motorola’s latest Moto G Stylus (2026) returns to the North American market, upping the family’s signature pen‑and‑paper vibe at a $500 price point. The 6.7‑inch AMOLED delivers 120 Hz and 1 B colors, while the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chip and 8 GB RAM promise smooth multitasking. A 5 200‑mAh battery now supports 68 W wired charging and fast charging that rivals flagship models everywhere.

Under the glass front, Gorilla Glass 3 protects a 50‑MP OIS main sensor paired with a 13‑MP ultra‑wide unit. A 32‑MP selfie camera captures 4K video. Storage options include 128 GB or 256 GB UFS 3.1, plus a dedicated microSD slot—rare for a budget device. An audio jack stays intact while the rear mic delivers crystal‑clear audio every time.

Physical design leans on a silicone polymer back that feels like vegan leather, with a textured grip. MIL‑STD‑810H certification and IP69 resistance let users submerge the phone 1.5 m for 30 minutes. The integrated stylus now boasts an active component and a tactile clicker, turning note‑taking into a tactile experience for students and professionals alike everywhere.

Software lands on Android 16, with two major updates promised. A 5 200‑mAh battery supports 68 W wired and 15 W wireless charging, plus built‑in Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi‑Fi 6. Audio remains a niche feature, with stereo speakers and Dolby Atmos. At $500, the Moto G Stylus offers premium perks without a flagship price while keeping power consumption low and software smooth daily.
