The Moto G Stylus Evolves Its Signature Feature, but With a Price Bump

The phone adds a pressure- and tilt-sensitive active stylus, 68-watt charging and a 5,200mAh battery as Motorola raises the starting price to $500.

  • On Tuesday, Motorola announced a new Moto handset and the Moto Pad, marking the brand's return to the States. The smartphone launches April 16, starting at $500, and introduces an active, powered Stylus.
  • Priced at $500, the handset costs $100 more than the previous model. Motorola justifies this increase by including an accessory bundle featuring Moto Tags, Moto Buds Loop, and a Moto Watch.
  • Pressure and tilt sensitivity enable the Stylus to produce 'broader shading, finer lines, and more natural strokes' for notetaking. A 50-megapixel main camera, Snapdragon processor, and 5,200 mAh battery power the device.
  • Equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity processor and 7,040 mAh battery, the 11-inch Moto Pad launches April 30. The device features Dolby Atmos quad speakers for entertainment-focused users.
  • Motorola releases the smartphone on April 16, though analysts flagged the brand's two-year software support policy. Google and Samsung provide up to seven and six years of support, respectively.
