The Moto G Stylus is back with its yearly refresh, and it once again brings affordable note-taking on the go. Unfortunately, the Moto G Stylus (2026) availability hasn't been widened, and the phone is still exclusive to the North American markets.
That's really too bad. It has a jack and everything.
The Moto G Stylus has historically been the budget phone for people who wanted a pen but could not stretch to Samsung. If the 2026 version finally ships competent cameras and a display that does not hurt to look at, the value proposition changes entirely. The stylus experience on Moto has always been half-baked compared to the Galaxy S Ultra line, so the real question is whether the software has caught up to the hardware. How is palm rejection holding up in practice?
No zoom camera.
AI in the drawing app.
Does palm rejection even matter here? I've used passive styluses with my phone to study for a few months now, and I never felt the absence of palm rejection. Even with how big modern phones are there still isn't enough surface area to rest your palm on. It would a big problem with a tablet but I found it to be a non-factor on a phone.
It's an active stylus in this case, I assume the palm rejection works fine.
But as you said, use cases vary.
Two whole software updates. That’s gotta be a record for Motorola.
i have the 2024 model and it gets updates semi-regularly
What do you think 2024+2 is?
