Motorola's mid-range stylus-carrying smartphone range has a new member starting today. Meet the aptly named Moto G Stylus 5G (2024). This phone got leaked all the way back in January, and it's now official for North America. It comes with an improved stylus, which has a new design, a larger contact area, and improved software to make using it faster and easier. Latency has been reduced, note-taking simplified, and there's also a new UI for accessing stylus-related features. You can choose from any number of apps and your favorites will appear the moment you pop out the stylus.
With support for optical character
recognition (OCR), you can extract text from a written or printed document, and
digitize it with Moto Note to then be able to edit or reuse the text however
you like. The Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) comes with a 6.7-inch 1080x2400 pOLED
display with 120 Hz refresh rate, 240 Hz touch sampling rate, and 1,200-nit
peak brightness. It's powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset, paired
with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of expandable storage.
The phone has a 50 MP main camera with
f/1.8 aperture and OIS, a 13 MP f/2.2 ultrawide with 120-degree field-of-view,
and a 32 MP f/2.4 selfie camera. You also get dual stereo speakers with Dolby
Atmos support and even a 3.5 mm headphone jack, as well as a 5,000 mAh battery
with support for 30W wired and 15W wireless charging. The Moto G Stylus 5G
(2024) measures 162.56 x 74.752 x 8.295 mm, weighs 190g, and runs Android 14.
It will be offered in two colors: Caramel Latte and Scarlet Wave.
It will become available at Amazon, Best
Buy, and Motorla's own online store starting on May 30 and will be priced at
$399.99. It will also be offered by Metro by T-Mobile, AT&T, Cricket, Boost
Infinite, Boost Mobile, Consumer Cellular, UScellular, Spectrum, Xfinity
Mobile, Google Fi Wireless, and Optimum Mobile from the get-go, with Straight
Talk and Total by Verizon joining a few weeks later.
In Canada, the phone will be available
only from Motorola itself initially, priced at CAD 499.99, with "select
carriers and national retailers" picking it up at some later point.
