My review unit came in Aurora Black, which is actually a very dark shade of blue with a bit of an iridescent texture. There’s a bit of a backslide here from the previous model, with the frame being plastic instead of aluminum, but it’s plastic with a shiny metallic look that could easily fool the casual observer. The Moto G Stylus (2021) fits that bill, with a big display that hits nearly 85 percent screen-to-body ratio, a relatively slim pinhole front camera, and a frame and body that, while made of plastic, sport a premium look and feel. If there’s one thing Motorola knows how to do, it’s design a mid-range phone that looks and feels more premium than it really is. I remain a bit disappointed that Motorola didn’t go the extra mile with this one after they really nailed the previous version, but the 2021 refresh of the Moto G Stylus still has a lot going for it.ĭesign: Premium look and feel with a built-in stylus I used the Moto G Stylus (2021) for about a week as my daily driver, checking out everything from call quality to stylus functionality and overall performance. Since I was such a big fan of the 2020 version, I was excited to drop my SIM in this new phone and take it for an extended test drive. The same is true of the Moto G Power (2021), so the updated line as a whole is in a bit of a weird place. It still fits the same niche of providing a built-in stylus option at an attractive price point, but Motorola made some strange choices that I don’t quite understand. The bottom line is that this is a sub-$300 phone with a built-in stylus, and the stylus functionality is excellent.
