Motorola announced two new devices today, including one of its first tablets to be available from a US carrier since Verizon’s Xyboard tablets in 2011. The new Moto Pad is joined by the 2026 edition of the Moto G Stylus featuring an upgraded pen that responds to tilt and pressure changes in supported apps.
The Moto Pad will be available through T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile starting on April 30th, or it can be purchased through Motorola’s online store by T-Mobile customers for $249.99 in a single bronze green color option. Powered by a MediaTek D6300 5G processor, the tablet features an 11-inch 2.5K display with a 90Hz refresh rate and a 7,040 mAh battery Motorola says is good for up to 12 hours of streaming.

The tablet uses Dolby technology to “deliver an immersive audio experience with greater depth, clarity, and detail across all your favorite entertainment” through four built-in speakers. It also supports Dolby Atmos content when connected to compatible speakers or headphones.
The 2026 Moto G Stylus will be available starting on April 16th for $499.99 through Motorola as well as retailers including Amazon and Best Buy. It comes with a “leather-inspired finish” and two color options; coal smoke and lavender mist. It will also be available through carriers including Google Fi Wireless, AT&T, Spectrum Mobile, and Cricket Wireless.

The new version of the Moto G Stylus has a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and up to 120Hz refresh rate. On the back you’ll find a 50-megapixel main camera with a Sony Lytia sensor and optical image stabilization paired with a 13-megapixel ultrawide and macro vision camera; up front is a 32-megapixel selfie camera. All three options are capable of capturing 4K video.
Battery life for the new active stylus is rated at up to 100 hours of standby and nearly four hours of writing, while a full charge when inserted into the phone takes about 15 minutes. The Moto G Stylus itself features a 5,200mAh battery good for up to 44 hours of use that can be topped off with a USB-C cable at 68W rates or a wireless charger at up to 15W.
