Introduction, specs, unboxing

Here is a phone only the a couple of markets gets to enjoy, which is a shame as it is the only affordable alternative to Samsung's S Pen-wielding flagship. Yes, we are talking about the Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2025)! It's a stylish smartphone with a stylus, pun intended, upper mid-range specs, and clean yet powerful Android OS.

The Moto G Stylus 5G (2025) is available in the US, while the Indian version is called Motorola Edge 60 Stylus with a slightly different chipset. We have the US model for review.

The Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2025) finally brings a long-awaited feature - complete dust and water protection (IP68 rating), enhanced with certifications for a couple of MIL-STD-810H standards for durability and extreme conditions like humidity, temperature, and altitude amplitudes. The design remains the same - a Gorilla Glass front and a back panel covered with cool-looking eco leather.

The 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED screen has been upgraded with more pixels - it now has a resolution of 1,220 x 2,712 pixels. It supports 10-bit color depth and can now show HDR content.

The chip is a minor update - Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, up from SD 6 Gen 1. This Moto is available only with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. MicroSD expansion is still onboard, which is so rare nowadays.

The cameras appear to have been lifted from the Moto G Stylus (2024) - a 50MP OIS primary and a 13MP AF ultrawide, plus a 32MP selfie shooter. They all support 4K video capturing.

Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2025) comes with a 5,000mAh battery that is now capable of even faster 68W TurboCharging. And if you are a fan of wireless charging, that is also present and maxes out at 15W power.

Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2025) boots Android 15 with Google's AI and the usual stylus-related features.

Since when did a IPS LCD display ever become inferior to an OLED or Amoled. That has never been the case ever, there's a big difference. OLED or Amoled have always been better screens than anything with an IPS LCD screen. That's like saying...
