The Moto G Stylus has been a wonderful entry into the smartphone market for users who need a phone with an included stylus sans the heavy price tag. Coming in at $399, the Moto G Stylus 2025 is offering some great specs with some much-wanted AI tools from Google.
On April 17, Motorola plans to launch the Moto G Stylus at a nice $399, which places it in the midrange category. Still, it offers some competitive internals to not be brushed off so easily as a cheap device. First off, it brings back the built-in stylus. With some software upgrades in Android 15, the stylus will be useful for Google Photos editing tools, Circle to Search, and Motorola’s own Sketch to Image. Sketch to Image works with Moto Note and generates AI artwork from drawn sketches.
The Moto G Stylus (2025) is equipped with a brighter display coming in at 3,000 nits. The 6.7-inch pOLED panel runs at 120Hz, which seems to be no different than the previous generation. Inside, the phone runs on a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset with 8GB of RAM. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 line has proven to be a workhorse without the cost of the highest specs available.
The rear of the phone touts a 50MP main camera sensor with a 13MP ultrawide and integrated macro lens. The main unit is a Sony Lytia 700C sensor, which is found in some other Motorola devices, though it’s new to the Moto G Stylus lineup in 2025. Motorola notes that it’s using its own Photo Enhancement Engine to process captured content. It’ll be exciting to see if this processing engine is any better, as Motorola has already had a record of rather good post-processing.
It seems that the 3.5mm audio jack has been dropped in the 2025 version.
A 5,000mAh battery has become common, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less useful. That cell will be charged via 68W Turbo Charging, so long as there is a capable brick around. It also packs 15W wireless charging, though a proprietary charger is also needed for that speed.
As is the tradition, the Moto G Stylus comes in a couple of stunning colors and materials. Both “Gibraltar Sea” and “Surf the Web” are available, as well as a faux leather finish. As mentioned, Motorola plans on launching the Moto G Stylus (2025) on April 17 for $399.
