Moto G Stylus (2025) review: this phone is a $400 note-taker’s dream
May 23, 2025
Color me impressed by the Moto G Stylus 2025
“There really are no other phones that offer this range of features, plus a built-in stylus, at this price point.”
Pros
Striking design and color science
Bright, vibrant, high-refresh AMOLED display
Fantastic battery with wireless charging
Durable build with IP68 and MIL-810H ratings
Stylus housing is rock solid
Excellent value
Cons
Only 2 years of OS updates
Stylus lacks pressure sensitivity and reliable palm rejection
Moto AI features feel half baked

At $400, the Moto G Stylus isn’t pretending to be a flagship. But the signature stylus inserted inside its frame is the kind of trick usually reserved for premium devices like the excellent Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
This makes the Moto G Stylus one of the only phones in its class that caters to note-takers, casual doodlers like myself, and anyone who likes having a little extra control in their hands.
I will admit, I’m not a stylus super-fan. I often have to remind myself to use one when a phone supports it. Having said that, the Moto G Stylus is not a one-trick pony, as Motorola has packed a lot of impressive features into an affordable device.
