The G Stylus is a little thinner overall than the G Power (9.2mm versus 9.6mm), just a little shorter (158.5mm versus 159.8mm, though the screen-to-body ratio is practically the same) and a few grams lighter (192g compared to 199g).

Still, this is one of the few Android phones to ship with a stylus and that it does so for $300 is cool. My handwriting looked like even more of a mess than usual because it would occasionally register my palm as the one doing the writing. That’s all right with me, but what I didn’t enjoy was the phone’s general lack of palm rejection on the screen. Unlike the one that’s included with the latest Samsung Galaxy Note, the stylus doesn’t connect via Bluetooth, so it lacks abilities like acting as a remote shutter. Omissions: Wireless charging, waterproofing, NFC.Ports: USB-C connector, 3.5mm headphone jack.Biometric authentication: fingerprint sensor.

Each has a 3.5mm headphone jack, great battery life, a fingerprint sensor, and Motorola’s clever software enhancements that make Android 10 feel more unique on these phones. Both have big screens with hole-punch camera systems and, importantly, they include a few quality-of-life extras. They work with every US carrier, including MVNOs like Google Fi. In addition to the much-improved camera performance, these new Motorola phones have a lot going for them considering their price.
They’re both capable of shooting some of the most detailed, color-balanced photos that I’ve seen from a device at these prices, while undercutting Google’s midrange Pixel 3A by $100. That’s not a sentence I thought I would write when I started testing Motorola’s latest budget phones. The $300 Moto G Stylus and $250 G Power can take excellent photos.
