Motorola announced two new smartphones, the Moto G Stylus (2023) and the Moto G 5G (2023), yesterday. These low-cost devices have a range of features, including larger screens, faster refresh rates, and updated cameras.
Moto G Stylus (2023)
The Moto G Stylus (2023) comes with a MediaTek Helio G85 CPU, 4GB of memory + 64GB of storage, up to 1TB microSD expansion and Android 13 pre-installed.
The Moto G Stylus (2023) will go on sale in the United States on Friday (5 May). The starting price for the 4GB+128GB 2022 model is $300.
The Moto G Stylus (2023) has a 6.5-inch IPS LCD with HD+ resolution and a refresh rate of 90Hz. This handset also features a water-resistant construction, a 5000mAh battery with 15W charging compatibility, a 3.5mm headphone jack next to the bottom USB-C port, dual speakers with Dolby Atmos, and a fingerprint scanner on the side.
On the rear, we have a 50MP primary camera (f/1.8 aperture, 0.64m pixels, binned at 1.28m, capable of 1080p @ 30fps video recording) and a 2MP macro lens, while on the opposite side, we can find an 8MP selfie camera (capable of 1080p @ 30fps video recording).
