Motorola launches the Moto G Power and Moto G Stylus

Both the Moto G Power and Moto G Stylus ar premium mid-range models bt the G Stylus is on top of the line. This isn’t as a result of only the Stylus pen which it bundles along but also due to better camera setup.

The Motorola Moto G Power sports a 6.4-inch LCD display with a FullHD+resolution of 1080p and a punch-hole camera. The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset paired with 4GB of RAM and there is 64GB of storage onboard. Motorola has trimmed down the bezels a little this year, but there’s still a noticeable “chin” below the screen.

The Moto G Stylus packs a similar plastic chassis under a similar 6.4-inch LCD FHD+ display. The fingerprint sensor, processor, and RAM are similar to those of the G Power. But the 4GB RAM teams up with 128GB of internal storage. The device also packs a smaller 4000mAh battery which isn’t too bad. Despite having a stylus pen, the G Stylus is slightly thinner at 9.2mm. Talking of the stylus, it is located at the bottom right edge f the display and it has to be removed manually as there is no pop-up mechanism.

Being out of country since long I do not have much information about new brands, Though aware of Vivo, Oppo, Xiaomi.. but not sure about exact rankings for each.

Should not be too big and budget around 7-10. Can go with motorola E6 but seems lagging in comparison with similar Chinese brands

Cheers !!
