Moto G Stylus (2026) Hits Stores at $499 With Built-In Pen

Early hands-ons suggest a responsive stylus with only minor hardware changes.

Overview

  • The phone is now on sale through Motorola, Amazon, and Best Buy, and the box includes only a USB cable so buyers need their own case and a 68W charger.
  • The integrated pen docks in the frame, adds a shortcut button, and felt snappy in brief testing that highlighted easy note-taking and multitasking.
  • Compared with the 2025 model, updates are modest with a tougher IP69 rating, faster UFS 3.1 storage, and a battery that grows by 200mAh to 5,200mAh.
  • Core specs hold steady with a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, 8GB of RAM, and a 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED, plus 68W wired and 15W wireless charging, a microSD slot, and a headphone jack.
  • Motorola offers Pantone Coal Smoke and Lavender Mist finishes with a new twill texture, and full reviews are pending to judge value against last year’s cheaper phone.
