Moto G Stylus (2026) truly enhances the experience of using the pen over the phone.
**Motorola G Stylus (2026)**
Motorola's stylus smartphone has always stood out in a positive way. While many mid-range competitors are focused on megapixels and performance benchmarks, the Moto G Stylus (2026) prioritizes a more personal touch by providing a pen and asking, "What would you like to create today?" This year, however, it's not just about having a stylus; it's about enhancing its functionality.
The stylus matures and adopts a personality
The integrated active stylus now features tilt and pressure sensitivity. This means that sketching, doodling, or simply writing down grocery lists feels much more like using pen on paper. Motorola is also heavily incorporating AI to make the stylus feel more like a helpful companion. Features like Sketch to Image (transforming doodles into actual graphics) and Handwriting Calculator (which interprets your handwriting) demonstrate that this isn't merely a nod to the past — it aims to make handwritten notes practical again. Additionally, there are convenient features like Quick Clip for quick note sharing, drag-and-drop for images, and hover-to-magnify for better visibility. The stylus also charges rapidly and has sufficient battery life for daily use.
What else is there?
Motorola has ensured that the stylus does not eclipse other features. The camera setup is impressive, featuring a 50MP main sensor with a Sony LYTIA 700C, along with OIS and pixel technology to maintain sharpness, even in challenging lighting. There’s also a 13MP combination for ultrawide and macro shots, a 32MP front camera that adapts to group selfies, and 4K video recording available across all lenses. The display is a 6.7-inch, 120Hz AMOLED panel with a 1.5K resolution and peak brightness reaching 5000 nits.

This year, Motorola is also emphasizing durability. The device has IP68 and IP69 ratings, alongside military-grade toughness, ensuring it can withstand drops, dust, water, and the occasional fumble. The design is a touch more stylish this time, featuring a leather-like finish and Pantone-selected colors such as Coal Smoke and Lavender Mist. Motorola's design capabilities are commendable, and they stand out in the mid-range market.
A 5200 mAh battery powers the entire unit, promising up to 44 hours of usage. When it does run low, 68W fast charging can quickly restore power. Operating on Android 16, the Moto G Stylus (2026) also incorporates Google Gemini for AI-driven assistance with tasks like writing and planning.
The Moto G Stylus (2026) is priced at $499.99 in the U.S. and will be available starting April 16 across platforms like Amazon, Best Buy, and Motorola’s official site.
