The design of the Moto G Stylus 2026 leaks with minimal changes
A few months ago, there were hints that Motorola was already working on a new version of the Moto G Stylus, but the brand has not yet made any official announcements.
The model wasn’t even mentioned during the announcement of the Moto G Play 2026 and Moto G 2026 earlier this month. Fortunately, leaks never stop—now we can catch a glimpse of the first real images of the upcoming smartphone.
The images of the Moto G Stylus 2026 show minimal changes
New live photos of the Moto G Stylus 2026 reveal that Motorola is preparing a design very similar to the previous model. The only noticeable changes appear to relate to the camera module, which has seen slight adjustments in its integration with the rear casing.
Other than that, there aren’t any surprises:
- Flat display on the front
- Sleek back featuring only the camera setup and the Motorola logo
- Very similar lines to other Moto G models from 2026
An interesting mid-range device… with stylus
The Moto G Stylus 2025—already one of the very few mid-range smartphones to offer a stylus—was still far behind flagships like the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but it provided a good balance: Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, 6.7-inch LCD with 120 Hz, 5,000 mAh battery, and 68 W wired charging along with 15 W wireless charging.
We hope that the 2026 model will bring a newer chipset, improved performance, and a few additional refinements.
The real issue: software support
As usual with Motorola, the weak point remains the duration of software support. The Moto G Stylus 2025 is limited to only two years of updates. In comparison, Samsung offers six major updates for its Galaxy A36 and A56. Even with good value for money, it’s tough to compete with that.
The stylus isn’t the most requested feature, but it’s nice to have it without having to pay for a premium smartphone like a Galaxy Ultra.
If there’s one thing Motorola must fix, it’s its update policy. With improved software support, the Moto G Stylus 2026 could become an extremely appealing option in the mid-range segment.
