TL;DR Motorola has revealed the Moto G Stylus 2026 and Moto Pad 2026.
The new Moto G Stylus is $100 more expensive than the 2025 model, but it has an active stylus and a brighter screen.
There’s no word on the Moto Pad’s price just yet, but it has an 11-inch 120Hz screen and a budget-tier Dimensity 6300 chip.
You don’t need to spend a ton of cash to get a phone with a stylus, as the Motorola Moto G Stylus range offers a bundled stylus at a budget price. We’re just about due for another model, and Motorola has indeed announced the Moto G Stylus 2026.
The new Moto G Stylus indeed offers a stylus in an integrated slot, but this is now an active pen rather than a purely capacitive solution seen on previous models. The manufacturer claims that the new pen supports tilt and pressure sensitivity. Furthermore, Moto says you can expect 100 hours of usage and a 15-minute charging time. The pen also features a shortcut button for your convenience. This upgraded stylus also comes a year after Samsung downgraded the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s S Pen.
