What do critics say about the Motorola Moto G Stylus (2026)?

Tom's Guide80

Despite a price bump, the reviewer sees it as an appealing mid-ranger with a capable new stylus and generous accessory bundles, though battery and gaming are weaker.

CNET75

The upgraded active pen is genuinely useful and the phone has strong display and charging, but a big price increase and short software support temper the enthusiasm.

Android Central70

A solid mid-ranger with great battery and display plus a nice new stylus, but it barely changes the hardware and costs $100 more than before, so rivals may be better buys.

WIRED60

A unique mix of stylus, microSD and headphone jack makes it appealing to a niche, but the $500 price is hard to justify given unchanged chip, weak cameras and poor update policy.

The Verge60

Charming and distinctive with a useful pen and less bloatware, but it feels about $100 overpriced, with average cameras and limited update support compared to the Pixel 10a.
