Moto G Stylus 2026 vs. Moto G Stylus 2025: When a pen is mightier than specs

Motorola launched the Moto G Stylus 2026 with an active stylus that adds pressure sensitivity and tilt support.

The new model brings only modest hardware upgrades and tougher IP69 water resistance, but it costs $100 more than the 2025 version.

The Moto G Stylus 2025 remains the cheaper option, with broadly similar overall features and performance.

The launch shows Motorola pushing mid-range stylus phones further, though buyers must weigh the pen upgrades against price and limited software support.
