Moto G Power and Moto G Stylus are sold for less than Galaxy 750 Galaxy S20

Motorola's new budget devices, the $249 Moto G Power and $299 Moto G Stylus, are now available. They can be ordered from the handset maker's website starting today (April 1) and can be found in stores starting April 16.

Both new Moto G phones are unlocked and support both CDMA and GSM network bands, allowing compatibility with all carriers. Both feature a 6.4-inch LCD panel with full HD resolution and are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset; the Power and Stylus have 64GB and 128GB of onboard storage, respectively, which can be expanded with a microSD card. Power and Stylus have 64GB of onboard storage, each of which can be expanded with a microSD card.

Whether you choose the Power or the Stylus, this is very much a handset on paper and at a very reasonable price.

From the name, the main difference between these phones is obvious: the Moto G Stylus has a stylus and docks to the device Galaxy Note-style. However, the G Stylus has a smaller battery than the Moto G Power; while the Stylus' battery is 4,000 mAh, the Power's is a massive 5,000 mAh.

Last year's Moto G7 Power also had a 5,000 mAh battery and lasted a record 15 hours and 35 minutes in Tom's Guide's custom battery test. We expect similarly big numbers from its successor.

The Moto G Stylus also has a slightly better camera than its less expensive sibling. Both have triple-lens modules, but the Stylus' main sensor is 48 megapixels and benefits from quad-pixel binning. The Stylus also has a unique Action Cam ultra-wide lens that allows users to shoot landscape video even when held vertically.

The new Moto G series runs Android 10 right out of the box, while maintaining Motorola's light touch to Google's mobile operating system. Both models will be available at a variety of retailers including Best Buy, B&H, and Amazon, and through carriers including Verizon, Metro by T-Mobile, Google Fi, and Republic Wireless.

We picked up both devices in early February and they seemed to live up to the Moto G line's reputation for solid performance at a very comfortable price point.
