Our Motorola Moto G Stylus (2022) came with Android 11 straight out of the box. That means the device will see Android 12, but no other support. The Moto G Stylus (2022) features the familiar 6.8-inch LCD panel, which offers a 90 Hz refresh rate and Full HD+ resolution. It also gets a few extra pixels and moves the selfie camera with punch hole to the center. The 5,000 mAh battery will keep you going and can be charged with 10 W wired. Motorola also points out that the phone is water resistant, but not waterproof. That’s not a huge surprise in this price range, although it’s odd considering the 2022 Moto G Power had an IP52 rating. Motorola has made some good steps forward with its latest Moto G Stylus device. For example, it has finally done away with the weak macro lens. Instead, the 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens does double duty to help out with extreme close-ups. The results aren’t life-changing, but it’s more practical than a throwaway 2MP snapper that will never work. Motorola’s slightly improved 50MP prime lens also does a good job. Images are captured at 12.5 MP by default, but it’s easy to convert them to a full-resolution shot. The Full HD+ display isn’t new to the Moto G Stylus family, but for a $300 device meant to be used with a stylus, it’s worth mentioning. It’s large enough, has a 90 Hz refresh rate for smoother animations, and the interface welcomes the use of Motorola’s built-in stylus. As soon as you take the pen out of the case, the phone opens a small menu. From here you have access to Google Keep, a drawing pad, and the ability to take screenshots or GIFs. The drawing pad also includes a few coloring templates in case you want to entertain your kids.
