The device retains the signature stylus which sits next to the charging port though it won’t offer any of the fancy Bluetooth or pressure sensitivity tricks found on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra’s S Pen.
Moto G Stylus 5G (2023) is built around a 6.6-inch IPS LCD with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. There’s a tiny punch hole cutout for the 16MP front facing camera. This year’s Moto G Stylus gains a 50MP main camera around the back (f/1.88, 1.0 µm native pixels) alongside an 8MP ultrawide module that doubles as a macro cam replacing the need of a dedicated one.
The software department is handled Android 13 with Motorola’s MyUX interface on top. Motorola is promising one major Android update and up to three years of security updates. The device also gets a 5,000 mAh battery with 20W charging support. Other notable features include stereo speakers, a headphone jack and a microSD card slot for storage expansion.
Moto G Stylus 5G (2023) comes in Cosmic Black and Rose Champagne colors. Pricing for the 6/256GB trim in the US is set at $399. You’ll be able to pick up the Moto G Stylus 5G (2023) from Cricket Wireless starting June 2. The unlocked variant will be offered from June 16 via Motorola, Amazon and BestBuy.
2) What is Motorola Moto G Stylus (2023) Price & Specs?
Ans) Moto G Stylus 5G (2023) arrives with a minimalist design, featuring a curved back and flat display on the front. The panel gets a punch-hole cutout, which encloses the 16MP selfie camera. The 6.6-inch IPS LCD comes with an FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. You get the signature stylus next to the charging port.

3) How is Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2023): Design?
Ans) As the name would suggest, this year’s Moto G Stylus 5G shares a lot in common with its non-5G sibling. For the most part, the design only differs in size, being 0.1 inches bigger than the Moto G Stylus, totaling 6.6 inches. The colorways also differ on this model, offering your choice of Cosmic Black or Champagne. Other than that, you likely won’t be able to tell the two phones apart from each other.
While this year’s Moto G Stylus 5G may look a lot like its sibling, there’s a bigger difference between it and its predecessor. This year’s model is 0.2 inches smaller, which may make it fit more easily in your hand. Motorola also appears to have changed the camera setup. The new model only has two rear cameras this time around and, as such, also has a smaller camera island.
4) How are Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2023): Cameras?
Ans) In probably the biggest change from 2022, the new model features two rear cameras instead of three. It looks like Motorola chose to put the depth sensor on the chopping block in 2023. Now consumers will get a phone with just a main camera and an ultrawide lens.
For the main sensor, you can expect a 50MP camera, while the ultrawide offers 8MP with macro capabilities. This phone has about 56% larger pixels than the previous generation. And we can’t forget about the selfie camera, which comes in at a familiar 16MP.
