One of the arguments that is often made against using a stylus on a phone is the smaller screen size compared to even the smallest tablets. While smartphones these days are huge compared to the first iPhones that were used to simulate the first Galaxy Note, writing a lot less on them, even with a stick, can be a tight experience. One solution would be to make the phone bigger and that seems to be the strategy Motorola will use for the successor to this year’s Moto G Stylus.
Steve Hemmerstoffer, perhaps better known as @OnLeaks, got juicy information on the 2021 Moto G Stylus, at least a lot more than a premature listing from Amazon revealed. The biggest detail, both figuratively and literally, is the phone’s size of 169.6mm x 73.7mm x 8.8mm, making it larger even than the already large Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Unfortunately, the actual size of the screen is smaller (6.8 inches) and considering that it can only have FHD + resolution, the pixel density will also be terribly lower.
The phablet will also have 4 cameras in a camera top that is rectangular only because it also includes the LED flash. An unnamed 48-megapixel sensor leads the pack which includes an 8MP ultra-wide sensor, a 5MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front, a 16MP camera hides under a hole punched in the corner.
Some critical details are still missing from this info dump, especially the confirmation of the Snapdragon 675 leaked by others. @ OnLeaks sources also claim that the fingerprint scanner will still be on the Motorola “bat wing” logo on the back, not the side. All sources seem to at least agree that there will still be a headphone jack.
All in all, the Moto G Stylus 2021 is well positioned to take on the previously leaked LG Stylo 7. Since they both only use a passive stick, they are far from rivaling the Galaxy Note series in any capacity, but their significantly lower price tags put them in a different market tier anyway.
