Editorial report

Motorola Moto G Stylus (2021) technical sheet

The Moto G Stylus (2021) suits people who want a large display for using a supported stylus and are comfortable with a heavy phone. Its 6.8-inch screen and stylus support define the package; its screen-to-body ratio is better than that of most phones launched around the same time.

The rear main camera has 48 MP resolution and an f/1.7 aperture, among the brightest of its time. Overall, the camera is typical compared with phones from that period. The phone weighs 213 g, heavier than most. The battery is another trade-off: its 4,000 mAh capacity and 10 W charging are below those of most phones of its time.

Its performance and hardware are typical, although its AnTuTu score of 171,844 is below that of most phones launched around the same time. Connectivity is also worse than most phones of its time. The IPS LCD display has a resolution of 1080 × 2400 px, and the phone includes a 3.5 mm audio jack. Its overall NeoScore is 4.2. It is a fit for anyone who prioritizes a large screen and stylus-based writing or drawing, and accepts the weight and more modest battery figures.
