Motorola’s latest mid-range smartphones are now available for purchase in the US. First announced in February, the Moto G Power is a $250 smartphone with a Snapdragon 665 processor, 6.4 inch FHD+ display and a 5,000 mAh battery.
The $300Â Moto G Stylus has similar specs, but swaps the battery for a 4,000 mAh version… and picks up a better camera, more storage, and the stylus that gives the phone its name.

Here’s a run-down of key specs for each model:

Wireless features are the same as those for the Moto G Power. The main differences between the two phones are the pen, storage capacity, the cameras, and the batteries — Motorola promises up to three days of battery life for the Moto G Power, but only up to two days for the Moto G Stylus
That stylus suspiciously looks like something you’d get at the end of a dollar store pen. Is it really an active stylus with a digitizer layer on the screen or is it just a capacitive piece rubber at the end of a stick?
