A screenshot with one small arrow can save a whole exchange of messages. The moto g stylus (2025) gives that job a pen that lives in the phone and a screen large enough to show the surrounding detail. The pen is most convincing as an everyday annotation tool.

Pros
- A stored stylus is ready for quick notes and precise edits.
- 256 GB and microSD expansion offer useful room for photos and documents.
Cons
- There is no dedicated telephoto camera.
- The fastest charging requires a compatible 68 W adapter.
Display & Stylus
- 6.7-inch 1220p pOLED
- up to 120 Hz
- integrated stylus
Circle the socket in a picture before sending it to an electrician, or sketch the order of shelves while checking measurements. Those jobs benefit from a visible pen tip and a larger work area. The phone still has to be supported with one hand while writing with the other. A tablet remains more natural for a full page of notes.
Cameras
- 50 MP stabilized main
- 13 MP ultrawide with macro
The main camera gives you an image to annotate. Use the ultrawide to capture the whole wall, or its macro function to show a small marking on a fitting. Cropping a photographed part from across the room is a weaker substitute for a real telephoto, so move closer when detail matters.
Performance & Storage
- Snapdragon 6 Gen 3
- 8 GB RAM
- 256 GB storage
Android Authority found the tested Stylus had twice the built-in storage of the contemporary 128 GB Moto G Power, while both accepted a microSD card. 1 That is practical for a growing library of plans and reference images. Keep a second copy elsewhere if the phone is the only place you collect them.
Battery & Charging
- 5,000 mAh
- up to 68 W wired
- 15 W wireless
A compatible wired adapter is useful for a short turnaround between jobs. The wireless option suits a desk where the phone already rests between notes. The 68 W rating is a maximum with the required charger and settings; charging slows as the battery fills.
Alternatives
Consider the Motorola edge (2025) if your priority is taking the original image from a distance. It adds a dedicated 3× lens. If notes stay at a desk and your present phone is otherwise adequate, a notebook or a larger tablet can also be a better surface for sustained handwriting.
Verdict
The 2025 Stylus is a good choice when a pen and a camera belong in the same pocket. Buy it for quick marks, diagrams and notes; a buyer looking chiefly for distant photographs or a large drawing canvas should put the money elsewhere.
