Moto G Stylus (2025) review: The built-in-stylus mid-ranger, refreshed with an OLED and wireless charging.
The note-taker's mid-ranger.
G Stylus (2025) owns a niche no one else serves — a built-in stylus on an affordable phone — and finally pairs it with an OLED and wireless charging. The Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 is the give-back at the price. For students and note-takers who want a pen without a Galaxy Ultra budget, it is the only real option.
