Editorial report

Motorola Moto G Stylus (2023) technical sheet

The Motorola Moto G Stylus (2023) suits people who want stylus support in a straightforward phone and can accept modest performance and a 4 GB / 64 GB configuration as the trade-off. It supports writing and drawing directly on the display, a useful distinction for notes and sketches without relying only on touch.

Its 6.5-inch IPS LCD display has a 90 Hz refresh rate, but its 270 ppi and 90 Hz are below those of most phones of its time. The MediaTek Helio G85, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage also place its performance below most phones launched around the same time; storage is expandable. The main camera has a typical 50 MP resolution, while its 1/2.76-inch sensor is smaller than those in most phones of its time. There is no optical image stabilization or optical zoom.

The 5000 mAh battery capacity is typical, but 15 W charging is below what most phones of its time offer. Wired connections include USB Type-C and a 3.5 mm audio jack, alongside Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0. Its NeoScore is 4.3. This is a fit for anyone who values a stylus and essential features over performance, display specifications or charging that stand out among phones launched around the same time.
