This Motorola phone has a built-in stylus and 5G connectivity under $400

After launching the Moto G Stylus (2023) not too long ago, Motorola has now followed it up with a 5G version. And the good news is that for all the upgrades the new Moto G Stylus 5G 2023 brings, it's actually cheaper than its predecessor. So let's take a look at the features, specifications, and expected price in Nepal of the Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G 2023.

Moto G Stylus 5G 2023 Overview:

Display and Build 

Starting with the display, Moto G Stylus 5G 2023 sports a 6.6-inch IPS LCD display with a Full HD resolution. This screen also has a 120Hz refresh rate and a 20:9 aspect ratio. Coming to the design, the phone is available in either Cosmic Black or Rose Champagne (pictured above) color options. Motorola has given a smooth finish at the back with curved edges for easy handling. Likewise, this mid-range phone has a plastic build and a "water-repellent" design. Although an official IP rating is missing. With the stylus inside, Moto G Stylus 5G 2023 weighs around 202 grams. This pen has a smooth, glossy finish and can be used for taking notes, scrolling, or multitasking.

Performance

Under the hood, Moto Stylus 5G 2023 has Qualcomm's Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chip. Fabbed under a 4nm process, it brings 35% better GPU and 40% better CPU performance over the Snapdragon 695 that powered last year's Moto G Stylus 5G. Moving on, the phone comes with 6GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The cherry on top is the availability of a micro SD slot which can expand the memory to 2TB. And it runs on Android 13 with Motorola's MyUX on top.

Cameras

Moto G Stylus 5G 2023 features a dual camera setup on its back. Although the lack of a 2MP depth camera is good riddance coming from its predecessor, Motorola has skipped OIS support for the 50MP f/1.88 primary camera here. This is followed by an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide sensor, which is actually pulling triple duty as a macro and a depth camera too. Likewise, you get a 16MP f/2.45 selfie camera on the front housed in a hole-punch cutout.

Battery and others

Other goodies of this Moto phone include a massive 5000mAh battery with 20W charging, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos audio. And Motorola ships a 20W power brick inside the box itself. There's a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for biometrics.
