Motorola unveils the moto g stylus - 2026 and moto pad - 2026, powering seamless creativity across screens CHICAGO, April 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Every year, the moto g stylus stands apart as the only smartphone in its price tier to offer a true stylus experience, giving users a precise, intuitive way to capture ideas the moment inspiration strikes. 1 This year, Motorola builds on that foundation with the new moto g stylus - 2026, now featuring a built-in active stylus, and marks an important expansion of its portfolio with the moto pad - 2026. Together, these devices are designed to support creativity, productivity, and play across screens.

moto g stylus - 2026: Active pen within reach

From focused study sessions to well-earned downtime, today's devices need to move as fast as inspiration does. The integrated active stylus on the moto g stylus – 2026 delivers next-level precision for note-taking, gaming, and creative expression.

The new active stylus responds to tilt and pressure in supported apps, enabling broader shading, finer lines, and more natural strokes, bringing a pen‑on‑paper feel to everyday tasks.

That experience carries seamlessly into the Notes app, where users can view all handwritten notes, sketches, and ideas at a glance. Users also have access to a suite of features that help boost creativity and productivity. Tools like Sketch to Image uses AI to turn simple drawings into polished visuals, while Handwriting Calculator solves handwritten equations instantly—no app switching required.

Beyond the Notes app, the active stylus unlocks smart shortcuts across the device:

The stylus delivers up to 100 hours of standby time, nearly four hours of writing, and fully recharges in just 15 minutes. 3 With IP68 and IP69 protection tested by SGS, users can confidently take it anywhere. 4

A camera system designed to capture it all

The moto g stylus – 2026 isn't just precise when creating, it's powerful when capturing too. A 50MP Ultra Pixel main camera with a Sony LYTIA™ 700C sensor, Optical Image Stabilization, and all‑pixel technology delivers sharper, brighter photos, even in low light.

Users can explore more perspectives with a 13MP Ultrawide & Macro Vision camera, while a 3‑in‑1 light sensor optimizes exposure and color in any environment. Up front, the 32MP selfie camera 5 produces studio‑quality results and automatically switches to group mode when more people step into frame. For video, the moto g stylus records in 4K across every lens, with enhanced stabilization for smooth footage, even on the move.

Behind the scenes, advanced AI-powered imaging enhances every shot with intelligent features, including:

A display that brings everything to life

Every interaction shines on the 6.7‑inch Extreme AMOLED display with 1.5K Super HD resolution. With up to 5000 nits of peak brightness, 6 content stays clear indoors or out. High Brightness Mode automatically boosts visibility outdoors, reaching up to 1400 nits, while Display Color Boost adjusts color and contrast based on ambient light.

A 120Hz refresh rate 7 makes scrolling feel more like gliding. That holds true even with wet hands, thanks to Water Touch technology.

Refined design meets everyday durability

No matter where your creative journey takes you, the moto g stylus - 2026 is prepared with SGS tested IP68 and IP69 ratings 4 and SGS-certified military-grade toughness. 9 This combination protects against drops of nearly five feet, extreme temperatures from -4°F to 140°F, submersion in up to 1.5 meters of fresh water for up to 30 minutes, and high‑pressure water spray. 4

The new moto g stylus is as beautiful as it is durable. All of that protection comes wrapped in a stylish, easy‑to‑grip leather-inspired finish with a distinct twill-inspired texture. It's available in two Pantone‑curated colors 10: PANTONE ® Coal Smoke and PANTONE ® Lavender Mist.
