Motorola Unveils 2021 G Stylus, G Power, and G Play

Motorola is expanding its G series of mid-range phones with 2021 models of G Stylus, G Power, and G Play. As always, the G Play is the cheapest one out of three, the G Power has the most battery, and G Stylus, as the name says, is the only one with a Stylus.

Moto G Sylus

The G Stylus has the biggest screen seen on a G series phone yet, a 6.8-inch LCD with 1080p resolution. It has a cornered punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera and the fingerprint sensor is mounted on the side atop the power button. The stylus has a clicky top that can be used to pull it out from the bottom of the phone.

On the inside, the phone features the Snapdragon 678 SoC and has only one memory configuration, 4GB/128GB. The battery capacity is 4,000 mAh and it lacks support for fast charging. On the software side, you get Android 10 out of the box on all three phones.

The main camera setup includes a 48MP main sensor, an 8MP ultrawide unit, and a duo of 2MP cameras for depth sensing and macro photography. Its selfie camera is a 16MP unit with pixel binning support.

The Motorola G Stylus 2021 will go for sale on January 13 for $300.

The Moto G Play will go for only $170 once it goes for sale next week.
