The Moto G Stylus 2025 sports a reliable Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset combined with 8GB of RAM for speedy productivity and decent gaming. The 6.7—inch 120Hz pOLED display is sharper at 446ppi and brighter at up to 3,000 nits with HDR, a major bonus in this price bracket. Additional upgrades include 68W USB-C fast charging and IP68 dust and water resistance. It also includes 15W wireless charging to round out an impressive feature set.
At only 191 grams, the chassis itself feels great in the hand for content consumption and extended usage. The back is covered in vegan leather for nice texture resistant to fingerprints and smudges. The front display, with inky black colors and vibrant shades, is covered with Gorilla Glass 3 for extra durability. The built-in microSD cart slot maxes out at 1TB for a load of content to be taken on the road. Finally, the latest Moto G Stylus maintains to the 3.5mm headphone jack for wired headphone functionality.
The built-in stylus in lightweight and tucks neatly in the bottom-right holster. Its release initiates a display menu to allow users to jot down notes, take screenshots or use the new ‘Sketch to Image’ tool to sketch and use moto AI software to polish the project. In addition, the stylus is useful for Google’s Circle to Search to circle and on-screen image and find out more about it.
New to the 2025 model is a 50MP Sony LYTIA 700C main camera with OIS for natural and sharp imagery. While it won’t be the best camera in its class, it’s certainly decent for a device in its price range. Both the main camera and 32MP front camera support 4K/30FPS video capture, and upgrade from the FHD/60FPS max capture from the year prior.
The Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 can handle modern gaming, with titles like Genshin Impact and Zenless Zone Zero averaging at 30FPS. The chipset won’t muster the 60FPS in more demanding titles but packs a decent punch for the price.
Overall, the Moto G Stylus 2025 is a robust mid-range package that favors both content consumers and creators with a quality display, 68W wired charging, lightweight build, decent cameras, and stylus input options. It sells at $399.99.
