Make a point to check out the Moto G Stylus 5G at AT&T, arriving July 15

Motorola may not be the first name you think of when it comes to smartphones with a stylus, but the company with the third-largest US market share has released a few mid-range devices with a stylus in recent years. This year brought us the latest version of theMoto G Stylus 5G, a solid value at $500 thanks to some balanced hardware, sufficient storage, and a large battery. We’ve already seencarriers like Verizonwelcome it to their stables, and now it’s time for this stylus-equipped Moto tojoin AT&T’s lineup.

The $500 Moto G Stylus 5G may be $200 pricier than the 4G-only2022 Moto G Stylus, but there are critical differences beyond band support, both visible and imperceptible, that help justify the price difference. The 5G model we’re looking at today offers hardware like a 6.8-inch FHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 695 SoC, 256GB storage (plus microSD expansion), 8GB of RAM, and a 5,000mAh battery with support for Qualcomm QuickCharge 3.0. Obviously, we’ve also got a capacitive stylus here, which Motorola has integrated into the body of the phone for easy storage, so you can enjoy jotting down notes, doodling, and editing media on the go.
