Motorola appears to be prepping an update to last year's Moto G Stylus.
A new Moto G Stylus (2021) device briefly appeared on Amazon this week (via PhoneArena). The product page has since been removed, but you can still view the cached version of the page.
The overall design of the 2021 version of the Moto G Stylus doesn't look hugely different from the 2020 model. There's an edge-to-edge display with hole-punch selfie camera and a bit of a chin on the front, and around back is a quad rear camera array with an updated camera bump design that's said to include 48MP main, 8MP ultra wide, 2MP macro, and 2MP depth cams.
One change Motorola did make to the Moto G Stylus (2021) is moving the fingerprint reader from the back of the phone where it was on the 2020 model to the side of the 2021 device.
Amazon's product page also said that the Moto G Stylus (2021) includes 4GB of RAM, a 4000mAh battery, Android 10, and a price tag of $339.95, which would be $40 more than the Moto G Stylus (2020).
Rumors claim that the Moto G Stylus (2021) spec list also includes a Snapdragon 675 processor, 128GB of storage, 16MP selfie camera, and a 6.8-inch FHD+ display.
The first Moto G Stylus was meant as an affordable option for folks who want a big screen and a stylus to write on it with, like a lower-cost alternative to Samsung's Galaxy Note. The Moto G Stylus (2021) looks like it'll be more of the same. That may not be super exciting to some, but with an upgraded processor and bigger screen, the Moto G Stylus (2021) could be a good option for folks who want a stylus-equipped phone on a budget.
It's unclear when Motorola will actually launch its new Moto G Stylus, but if Amazon has put together a product page, a full release can't be far off.
