The 2022 edition of the Moto G Stylus has a clearance rack vibe, since it\u2019s probably one of the last new phones to be sold in the US without 5G. But if Motorola is clearing out space for a new season of 5G devices, then it makes the 2022 G Stylus a heck of a good bargain.<\/p>\n

The G Stylus, in theory, costs $299, but it\u2019s on what seems likely to be a permanent markdown to $279. That\u2019s right on pace with last year\u2019s version of the G Stylus, but Motorola has made some upgrades to this year\u2019s edition, including a bigger 5,000mAh battery, a bump from 4GB to 6GB of RAM, and a 90Hz screen for faster refreshing. <\/p>\n

It still offers a huge 6.8-inch 1080p screen and, of course, its namesake built-in stylus. There\u2019s a different processor \u2014 a MediaTek Helio G88 \u2014 which takes the place of last year\u2019s Snapdragon 678 chipset. A headphone jack, microSD card slot to augment the 128GB storage, and in-box charger are all included, handy features that are being slowly phased out by manufacturers starting with flagships and trickling down to the midrange. Get \u2018em while you can.<\/p>\n
