Motorola is back with two new devices: a new phone and a new tablet. First, we have the $250 Moto Pad, the first Android-powered slate to hit the US in over a decade.
The Moto Pad offers an 11-inch display with a 90Hz refresh rate, powered by a MediaTek D6300 chip, 5G connectivity, quad speakers with Dolby Atmos support, and a 7,040 mAh battery, which Motorola quotes as providing up to 12 hours of battery life on a single charge. Moto’s new tablet will arrive in a bronze-green color option and will be available via Metro, T-Mobile, and T-Mobile starting on April 30th.
The company also announced the $500 Moto G Stylus phone for 2026, with an upgraded stylus. The new pen is now more useful, as it can also be used in the Handwriting Calculator app, an AI tool for enhancing drawings, and Sketch to Image within the Notes app. It also supports hover to magnify, can highlight text, and drag-and-drop, quotes up to four hours of writing with 100 hours of standby time, can fully charge in 15 minutes, and is IP68/69 rated. Moto’s newest stylus is essentially at the level of Samsung’s S Pen.
The phone itself offers a 6.7-inch OLED display with 2712 x 1220 resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 5,000 nits of peak brightness, powered by a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chip, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage expandable up to 1TB via microSD card, running Android 16, a dual rear camera system consisting of a 50MP main and a 13MP ultrawide sensor, and a 32MP selfie camera, an on-screen optical fingerprint scanner, an IP68/IP69 rating, and a 5,200 mAh battery, which supports 68W fast charging and 15W wireless charging.
The Moto G Stylus (2026) will be available in two color options: coal smoke and lavender mist. It will go on sale on April 16 via various retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, and Motorola.
