There’s something oddly satisfying about using a stylus on a phone. Whether you’re doodling during a boring Zoom call or jotting down quick grocery lists, it just feels good. Motorola clearly gets that, and with the Moto G Stylus 5G (2025), they’ve made a device that gives you that pen-in-hand experience—without charging you a small fortune for it.

First Thoughts: Clean, Simple, and Surprisingly Sharp
The moment you pick it up, it’s clear this isn’t a flagship trying to act fancy—it’s a phone that knows what it is and delivers where it matters. The design is clean and modern, with a soft matte finish that keeps fingerprints to a minimum. The stylus slides out from the bottom-right corner and feels responsive, not like an afterthought.

You’re getting a 6.7-inch FHD+ display here with a 120Hz refresh rate, which is honestly wild at this price. Scrolling feels fluid, animations look snappy, and videos are crisp. It’s not OLED, but Motorola’s LCD panels have come a long way—it still looks really good for a mid-range phone.

Performance That Doesn’t Struggle
Under the hood, the 2025 Stylus 5G is powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage (plus microSD support, which is rare these days). That combo is more than enough for everyday stuff: Instagram, Spotify, email, light gaming, and even some photo editing on the go.
And let’s be honest—if you’re buying a Moto G, you probably care more about reliability than pushing 4K footage through Adobe Rush. This phone handles real-life tasks with ease.

The Stylus: Not Just a Gimmick
This is where the Moto G Stylus 5G really stands out. The stylus isn’t just a pen for tapping icons. Motorola has built in some thoughtful software that actually makes it useful.
You can launch note-taking apps directly when you pull out the pen, even if the screen is off. There’s handwriting recognition, sketch tools, screen markup, and even quick shortcuts you can customize. It won’t beat the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s S Pen, but for this price? It’s honestly impressive.
Cameras: Good Enough for the Gram
You’re looking at a 50MP main sensor and a 2MP macro. It won’t blow your mind, but in daylight, shots are sharp and colorful. Low light is a bit of a mixed bag, but that’s expected at this tier. The 16MP front camera is solid for selfies and video calls.
Moto’s camera software is simple to use and doesn’t over-process your shots. What you see is pretty much what you get, and that’s a good thing.

Battery Life and Extras
The 5,000mAh battery is easily a full-day performer, even with the 120Hz screen turned on. Motorola includes TurboPower charging too, so you won’t be stuck waiting around forever to top up.
You also get Android 14 out of the box, with Motorola’s clean take on Android—minimal bloat, subtle gestures, and useful features like Peek Display. No ads. No nonsense.
Oh, and yes—it has a headphone jack. Bless.
