What makes the Moto G Stylus (2022) interesting? It is a combination of the stylus support and budget price. A pocket-friendly smartphone that you can scribble and draw on is a package that is hard to find in 2022. And, if you want 5G access, the Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) is available to meet that need.
Not a lot of people want a stylus with their smartphones any more, but if you do, you don’t necessarily have to pay between $700 and $1,500 to buy a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra or Galaxy Fold3, which are the only mainstream phone models left that have one. LG and Infinix used to meet that need too, but they stopped a few years ago.
If you want a pocket-friendly smartphone with a stylus, Motorola is here to your rescue with a sub-$300 smartphone with decent specs, the Moto G stylus (2022). And it has the hot looks too.
