Motorola hasn’t fundamentally reinvented the 2025 Moto G stylus, but it is improving important mid-range smartphones. When other stylus-friendly smartphones are $1,300 Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultrathat’s probably what it needs.
The Moto G stylus features a 6.7-inch ultra HD spiral display with a refresh rate of 120Hz and a maximum brightness of 3000 columns. Like the previous Moto G stylus, this year’s model also has a 5,000mAh battery, and Motorola says it should charge for 40 hours at a time. It pairs with Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chip, 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage, which is a good upgrade to the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 in the Moto G Pettlus.
