Motorola is updating the Moto G Stylus for 2022. That includes adding new hardware, a larger screen and a gigantic battery. It’ll last you a full two days before needing a recharge. The big changes don’t come with a price bump, either. You can pre-order the Moto G Stylus 2022 today for just $299.
The new phone boasts a 50MP camera setup, 5,000mAH battery, 6.8-inch FHD+ display and 6GB of RAM. As such, there seems to be a lot of value packed into the budget smartphone. It lacks 5G support and can’t compete with the processing power of the iPhone 13 or Galaxy S22. But anyone seeking an affordable version of the Galaxy Note should take a closer look at Motorola’s update.
Here’s a full rundown of the Moto G Stylus 2022 stat sheet:

  • Display: 6.8-inch FHD+
  • Refresh Rate: 90Hz
  • Rear Cameras: 50MP, 8MP, 2MP
  • Front Camera: 16MP
  • Operating System: Android 11
  • Internal Storage: 128GB
  • Expandable Storage: Up to 512GB microSD card
  • Processor: MediaTek Helio G88
  • Security: Side fingerprint reader, Face Unlock
  • Memory: 6GB
  • Battery: 5,000mAh
  • Ports: 3.5mm audio jack, Type-C port (USB 2.0)

To keep such a low price this year, Motorola had to make a few concessions. The main drawback to the Moto G Stylus is its processor. It’s been swapped from a Qualcomm Snapdragon 678 to a MediaTek Helio G88. Neither chipset is what you’d call “powerful.” Still, the 2022 version should be serviceable for all your social apps and some gaming on the side.
The Moto G Stylus chassis is also made of plastic to help reduce its price. These cost-saving decisions allowed Motorola to beef up the battery. It’ll be interesting to see how long it really lasts during daily use. Motorola even managed to improve the cameras in the Moto G Stylus 2022. They’ve been upgraded from 48MP, 8MP and 2MP to 50MP, 8MP and 2MP.
