Motorola's Moto G Stylus 5G is coming, and at $400 (converts roughly to £290, AU$520) it will be the company's most affordable 5G phone in the US. If the name sounds familiar, it's because the Moto G Stylus debuted last year with a follow-up version released in January 2021. But this isn't just the 2021 Moto G Stylus with 5G added. It adds improvements to the stylus, comes with a different processor, more RAM and more storage. With a rear fingerprint reader and a square camera bump, the Moto G Stylus 5G also draws some inspiration from the $400 Motorola One 5G Ace.

The phone is one of many 5G-enabled budget phones released in 2021. It competes against the likes of the $500 Samsung Galaxy A52 5G, the $400 Galaxy A42 5G and the $300 OnePlus Nord N10 5G. If you're looking for an affordable 5G phone, this might be the year to get one.

The Moto G Stylus 5G has a built-in stylus with a revamped design. The body of the stylus has a cylindrical shape from top to bottom which should make it easier to put back into the phone. All you need to do is get the correct end inserted. The stylus from the non-5G Moto G Stylus is more fussy to store. When you take the new stylus out of the phone, a software prompt will ask to record the date, time and GPS in case you lose it.

The Moto G Stylus 5G works on AT&T and T-Mobile 5G networks. Motorola claims the phone has a two-day battery just like the non-5G Stylus phone. To accomplish this, the Moto G Stylus 5G has a 5,000-mAh battery.

You can buy the Moto G Stylus unlocked starting Monday June 14 from Motorola's website, Best Buy, Walmart, B&H Photo or Amazon. Motorola promises one major OS upgrade and two years of security updates for the Moto G Stylus 5G.
