Motorola’s stylus phone gets a brighter display, faster charging, and a new SoC

If you’re a fan of phones with built-in styluses, you can either pony up the big bucks for Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra or take the more affordable approach and grab Motorola’s Moto G Stylus. The latter may not be as feature-rich as the Galaxy flagship, but it’s the only way to get a phone with a built-in stylus without breaking the bank. Fortunately, Motorola has improved its latest iteration, making the new Moto G Stylus (2025) feel like less of a compromise than last year’s model.

What’s new in Motorola’s latest stylus phone?

Although the Moto G Stylus (2025) features the same size display as its predecessor, Motorola has equipped the new phone with a brighter, higher-resolution 6.7-inch pOLED panel. Instead of a 1080p panel with a peak brightness of 1,200 nits, the latest model features a 2712X1220p panel that has a peak brightness of 3,000 nits. You also get a more capable Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 SoC, which should deliver better performance than the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chip on last year’s model.
