Motorola Moto G Stylus

Aside from the pen, the G Stylus is almost identical to the Moto G Power and it has solid performance plus a great 14-hour battery life. It takes its best photos in good lighting and, while the included macro lens is a strange choice, it ultimately adds a unique flare that makes it stand out among other mid-range smartphones. However, the G Power’s lack of NFC, disappointing Night Mode photography and its plastic design prove that sacrifice is necessary when opting for a more affordable handset.

If you love the precision of a stylus or enjoy sketching, the Moto G Stylus is waiting for you. But the stylus seems to be lacking software features that could make it more useful. I wish more apps took advantage of the stylus at a software level.
