Honestly, Motorola is making immoderate of the best-looking phones successful the crippled close now.

Motorola is refreshing its budget-oriented stylus telephone with the 2025 variation of the Moto G Stylus successful 2 bold colors: blue, and for a alteration of pace, blue. They some travel with a “leather-inspired” backmost sheet decorativeness and a stacked spec expanse erstwhile you see its $399 terms — though it mightiness travel with a broadside of unpleasant bloatware.

The 2025 Moto G Stylus (Motorola seems to person yet dropped 5G from the name) comes with a spot upgrade: a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, versus the Gen 1 successful last year’s phone. Motorola claims this contributes to its “6.4x improved responsiveness” implicit the erstwhile G Stylus. Another meaningful upgrade: afloat IP68 absorption against h2o immersion alternatively than the simply water-repellant plan of erstwhile years. That’s a large woody successful a telephone astatine this price. And judge it oregon not, there’s inactive a headphone jack for wired audio, and bless Motorola for keeping it around.

The ample 6.7-inch surface is an OLED sheet with up to 120Hz refresh complaint and a somewhat boosted 2712 x 1220 resolution.

But successful the meantime, I’m not getting my hopes up each implicit again.
