Sources and measurement notes

Sizometry compares published specifications and calculates differences. These are not hands-on measurements or tests of comfort, performance or pocket fit.

Check the exact model, year, region and configuration on the linked page. References may cover several variants. Folded and unfolded dimensions differ; cases and camera protrusions may change the space a device needs. Drawings share a relative scale and are not calibrated to life size on your screen.

Sizometry Analysis

Overall Score

7.5

out of 10

A compelling $400 Hello UI stylus phone with 3000-nit AMOLED, Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, 68W charging, IP68, and responsive integrated pen — held back by 78 mm width, modest cameras, two-year OS updates, and value tied to ink-dependent workflows.

Category scores

Camera

6.5

50MP OIS main suffices for document and social use; low light trails Pixel 9a clearly.

Battery and charging

8.5

5000mAh delivers two-day moderate use; 68W recovery among Moto G's fastest.

Performance

7.5

Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 handles daily, pen, and casual gaming well on 8GB RAM.

Handling and portability

5.5

78 mm width is the widest 2025 Moto G — pen workflows fine, one-thumb use strained.

Build quality

8.0

IP68, silo mechanics, and bright AMOLED impress; plastic frame honest at $400.

Value

7.5

IP68, silo mechanics, and bright AMOLED impress; plastic frame honest at $400.

Strengths

  • Only credible sub-$400 integrated stylus in the US market
  • 3000-nit AMOLED with 68W charging and IP68 sealing
  • Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 responsiveness with 256GB storage
  • 191 g wide-body balance lighter than Power sibling

Weaknesses

  • 78 mm width — worst one-handed ergonomics in Moto G 2025 lineup
  • Modest cameras and two-year major OS updates
  • UFS 2.2 and $400 value without daily pen use
  • 68W turbo brick may cost extra

Best for

  • Field markup, inventory, and lecture-note users needing integrated ink
  • Buyers rejecting Galaxy Ultra pricing but wanting siloed stylus
  • Moto G Stylus 2024 owners seeking IP68 and brighter AMOLED
  • Outdoor workers who need 3000-nit panel legibility

Less suitable for

  • Camera-first buyers comparing Pixel 9a
  • One-hand-dominant users at 78 mm width
  • Shoppers who never use stylus — buy Power instead
  • Owners demanding five-year Android update promises

Upgrade recommendation

  • Current device: Moto G Stylus 2024

    Recommendation: Strongly recommended

    Notes: IP68, brighter AMOLED, 68W, and Gen 3 silicon address the clearest prior-gen gaps at same MSRP.

  • Current device: Moto G Power 2025 owners

    Recommendation: Depends on priorities

    Notes: Upgrade only if integrated pen and AMOLED beat $100 savings and LCD durability.

  • Current device: Pixel 9a or Galaxy S24 FE shoppers

    Recommendation: Worth considering

    Notes: Stylus wins ink and brightness; Google/Samsung win camera and software longevity.

  • Current device: Aging Samsung Note-style owners

    Recommendation: Worth considering

    Notes: Affordable stylus migration when flagship pricing stings.

  • Current device: Buyers who rarely use pen features

    Recommendation: Probably unnecessary

    Notes: Moto G Power delivers more value without ink workflows.

Everyday usability

Estimated from device dimensions and weight.

  • One-handed use

    Average

    One-handed use is possible, though two hands will often feel easier.

  • Pocket friendliness

    Good

    Generally pocket-friendly for everyday carry.

  • Carry comfort

    Balanced

    Weight sits in a balanced range for everyday holding and carrying.

  • Reading and media

    A large canvas for reading, video, and longer on-screen sessions.

  • Gaming

    Limited

    Its hardware is intended more for everyday tasks than demanding games.

Bottom line

The moto g stylus (2025) earns respect as Motorola's best pen phone yet through a 3000-nit 1220p AMOLED, Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 smoothness, 68W recovery, IP68 confidence, responsive siloed stylus with AI sketch tools, and a surprisingly light 191 g package despite 78 mm width.
