Motorola will be updating its Moto G8 lineup with two new phones Moto Stylus and Moto G power phones. The moto Stylus with the new features will offer almost the same functionality as the Samsung S Pen.
The device will compete directly with the d$950 Samsung Galaxy Note 10 which is as well less the price of the note 10. The new Moto G Stylus and Moto G Power give you a Galaxy Note 10-like experience, that is less expensive.
Device specifications
Galaxy Note10 comes with 256GB storage which you can expand by up to an additional 1TB.
The Galaxy Note series is best-known for having a couple of premium features: The S-Pen stylus, which lets you control many aspects of the phone itself even from a few feet away. The pen is Bluetooth enabled and works like a remote control.
Samsung re-engineered the S Pen to match movements, allowing you to control your phone via simple gestures.
It as well packs an excellent battery life packing a 4,300mAh battery cell.
Note 10 has squarer corners to accommodate the S Pen that slides into the body. It carries an Infinity Display, in this guise as Infinity-O, with a single front camera in the centre.
Around the back, you’ll notice that there’s no fingerprint sensor as this is now an ultrasonic unit under the display at the front as we saw in the Galaxy S10 models.
The Motorola G Stylus features a 6.4-inch FHD+ Max Vision display. It is “water repellent”, runs Android 10, and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chip.
It offers 4GB of RAM, 128GB of storage (up to 512GB microSD card), and a 4,000mAh battery.
Another stand-out feature is the dual-stereo speakers tuned by Dolby. Finally, the Moto G Stylus packs a multi-camera system. It consists of a 48-megapixel main sensor or Quad Pixel technology. It comes 16-megapixel action camera with a 117-degree ultra-wide-angle sensor. 2-megapixel macro vision lens, and a Laser autofocus Time-of-Flight sensor.
The front side of the device has a 16-megapixel pinhole camera.
Moto G Stylus will be available this spring in Mystico Indigo at US retailers about $299.99.
Motorola G Power.
The Motorola G Power ups the ante in terms of battery, promising three days of life via a 5,000mAh battery. It has a triple camera system. There’s a 16-megapixel main shooter, complete with a 2-megapixel macro lens and an 8-megapixel 118-degree ultra-wide-angle sensor.
On the front, there is a 16-megapixel pinhole camera with Quad-Pixel technology.
Other features include a 6.4-inch FHD+ Max Vision display, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage (up to 512GB microSD card), a Snapdragon 665 chip, and 4G LTE connectivity. It also has a water-repellent design, runs Android 10, lacks NFC, and offers dual-stereo speakers tuned by Dolby.
Motorola G Stylus will be available this spring in smoke black at US retailers, including Best Buy, B&H, Walmart, and Amazon, for $249.99. It will also be available from Verizon, T-Mobile’s Metro, Republic Wireless, US Cellular, Consumer Cellular, and Xfinity Mobile.
Motorola Stylus, Moto G Power versus the Galaxy Note 10
The two devices go a price over 60 per cent less than the Galaxy Note 10 and they offer twice the storage space as what Samsung offers on note 10.
The G power as well as supports a 5000 mAh battery with a 15W fast charger while the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 supports a 4300 mAh battery.
Another exciting feature about the new Moto phones is that It also has a water-repellent design, runs Android 10, lacks NFC, and offers dual-stereo speakers tuned by Dolby.
It’s clear both of these devices could entice a potential Note 10 buyer interested in stylus capabilities and/or battery life, especially if they don’t mind settling with lesser-powerful chips and RAM and merely want to save some money.
