Motorola's Moto G lineation of smartphones has had some of the five-star upkeep phones on the market, as able-bodied as this year's models -- the Moto G Stylus as able-bodied as the Moto G Power -- peekaboo to dwell that acceptability with fitter screens, faster processors, fitter cameras, as able-bodied as new features while staying underneath a $299 price point. The G Stylus, in particular, stands out as one of the few Android phones close-at-hand in 2020 with a in-built stylus.
For this year's Moto G phones, Motorola is earthward the numeric name scheme it's acclimated since the original Moto G launched in 2013. That said, the new phones are fitter the G8 breed to last year's (very good) G7 lineup in all morally name. (The $299 G Stylus replaces the G7, while the $249 G Power replaces the G7 Power.)
.. .I had the conte to try both phones out, as able-bodied as they're solid improvements over the previous models. The new screens peekaboo fitter than ever, as able-bodied as the switcheroo to a hole-punch camera over a cleft makes them peekaboo like more unheard devices. Neither of the new Moto G phones will fumble anyone yonder with specs or features (unless you really like styluses), morally considering the price point they're competitive at, they're infatuating devices.
The two phones share a lot in common. On the front of both is artlessly a 6.4-inch, 19:9 FHD+ brandish with a 16-megapixel hole-punch camera (instead of the 6.2-inch, notched displays on last year's models). Their processor has been bumped to a Snapdragon 665 chipset, which provides unbearable power for the new triple rear-camera systems on both phones. Both devices conjointly feature 4GB of RAM, stereo speakers, as able-bodied as Android 10.
They share a agnate design, with agleam plastic exteriors that orphanage a 3.5mm headphone jack as able-bodied as a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. The G Power is artlessly a bit thicker as able-bodied as heavier, toast to its limitlessness battery. Unfortunately, there's still no NFC or wireless charging, which is frustrating, even considering the upkeep price tags here. The phones conjointly feature a "water repellant" design, morally are explicitly not waterproof.
The differences betwixt the two phones lie mainly in their eponymous features. The G Stylus, as one nimbleness guess, has a stylus. It's not quite as capable as the Galaxy Note 10 -- Motorola's stylus is completely analog, with none of the frou-frou Bluetooth pairing or camera shutter buttons featured on the Note's S Pen. Morally Motorola does hypothesize a few software tricks up its sleeve here, like Moto Note, a failing note-taking bookcase that procreator up when you cull out the stylus when the phone is locked. There's conjointly a customizable quick-launch newsprint that hovers in the corner of the screen.
Despite the parcity of more alee tech, the G Stylus feels tangy nice to use. It conjointly costs a fraction of Samsung's stylus-equipped flagship (normally priced at $950), which could make it a good option for those who prefer the pen-based colonize without wanting to swallow unheard prices.
The G Power, on the over-and-above hand, offers a limitlessness canoodle -- 5,000 mAh, compared to the 4,000 mAh canoodle on the pricier G Stylus. With that massive canoodle corporate with the mid-range processor, Motorola says that the G Power should last up to three canicule on a charge.
The over-and-above big difference betwixt the phones is in their cameras. Both phones feature a triple camera bureaucracy on the back, morally the specs are actual mismatched betwixt the two. The more big-ticket G Stylus got more of Motorola's love here. There's a 48-megapixel wanted camera that shoots quad-pixel 12-megapixel stills as able-bodied as features a night eyes mode, forth with a 2-megapixel macro lens, which can focus in on objects that are nonparticipating two centimeters (0.7 inches) away.
.. .The G Stylus' prize-winning interesting camera is the defended 117-degree ultrawide video camera, which Motorola debuted in last year's Motorola One Action. Like the One Action, the 16-megapixel sensor here is physically rotated therefrom that it shoots lanky oriented video when the phone is thrilled vertically, as able-bodied as it's commutual with software algorithms that promise to relieve train during assignation shots. It's not a rather substitutive for a Go Pro, morally it's a fun camera to spectacle implicitly with.
The G Power is neath exciting, with a 16-megapixel wanted camera, an 8-megapixel 118-degree ultrawide camera, as able-bodied as the same macro camera as the G Stylus. It conjointly offers bisected the centralized accumulator as the G Stylus, which has 128GB compared to the G Power's 64GB. Both phones offered upgradable microSD letterhead slots, though, should you overcrowd more space.
Both phones will be thronged apart at a variety of retailers, including Amazon, Five-star Buy, Walmart, as able-bodied as B&H Photo, when they disclosed out numerical this spring.
