While some of its brothers are still stagnating with 2020 security patches, the Stylus has managed to receive its January 2021 update. I've also got to give Motorola credit for updating the Moto G Stylus's software. Still a bit too narrow, but feeling more comfortable. Moving around the body, we've got our combo SIM/microSD tray on the left, and volume over on the right, atop the phone's power button with its integrated fingerprint scanner. It takes about 7 seconds of use before that's smudged to hell and back with your greasy fingerprints. The handset's rear panel is plastic and starts off with a pretty attractive textured pattern. The screen's 1080p resolution is refreshing to see considering the 720p panel the other 2021 Moto G phones end up with, but it suffers from the same shadowing issues around edges that we complained about last year, especially up near the hole-punch camera - it's not at all any better this time around. On the one hand, that gives users a nice, broad canvas to interact with using the phone's stylus, but it also makes for a phone that's more unwieldy than I'd prefer. It's got an expansive 6.8-inch screen, but much more than that, this puppy is heavy, tipping the scales at 213g. If you like big phones, the Moto G Stylus is immediately going to speak to you.
