LG Stylo 6 vs Moto G Stylus Comparison! Which Is Better? By TechDaily

What's going on guys, my name is Wade, with tech daily and in this video we're going to be comparing the new LG style six to the Motorola Moto G stylus. Now this is actually a pretty interesting comparison, because, basically, what we have here been the only two budget smartphones on the market right now that offer a built-in stylus and the dedicated stylus apps and features to go along with it, and what I'll also mention is the fact that for the last few years, the LG style was really all we had. The Moto G stylus is new to the game, and it's actually some pretty stiff competition. If you're looking for a new budget smartphone in general, I think both of these phones are enticing options, but more than anything, these phones are made for people who want a phone with a stylus, but who also don't want to pay a ton of money for, like a Samsung note device, we have a lot to talk about here, so I won't waste any more time. Let's just go ahead and jump right into it and see what these phones have to offer to start off. Let's talk about price, since that's likely one of the first factors you'll consider the Moto G stylus retails for 299 dollars unlocked you can get it direct from Motorola or from places like Amazon, but anywhere you look.

The price will likely be the same, and at least at the time of filming this video I haven't really found any carrier deals for this device, yet either the new LG style 6 is currently available only through Boost Mobile right now they have this phone listed for 219, but with some promotional deals and a discount code, you can actually get the price all the way down to 143 dollars. The style 6 will also be coming to a handful of other prepaid networks and will be offered unlocked at some point too, and it's sort of tough to give a definitive price point for this phone because it really depends on where and when you buy it, but for all intents and purposes the style 6 is going to be close to $100 cheaper than the Moto G stylus and likely even more so if price is the biggest concern for you, the style 6 will be the better option and by the way, if you're interested in doing some comparison, shopping of your own- or maybe you want to buy one of these devices for yourself. I will have links down below in the video description to where you can get these phones at their cheapest. Current prices so be sure to check down there. So you don't miss out on any good deals.

Physically. These two phones couldn't be more different, I think their designs are probably tailored towards two different groups of people, and they're very much a representation of two very different brands. The Moto G stylist is an average size. Six point four inch device that looks and feels like a lot of Motorola phones, we've seen or the last couple of years. The style of six, on the other hand, is a massive 6.8 inch device. That's been heavily redesigned from the previous year now.

Both of these phones are budget devices. So that means that they're, mostly made of plastic. That's the material used across the back, but the edges and frame are a much sturdier metal like material overall I think both of these phones look and feel really nice, there's nothing cheap about them and they each have a nice color and finish. That's different and unique. Personally.

I do think the style six looks a little more premium with chrome, polished edges and that shiny, rainbow, rear housing, but all in all, I have no complaints, at least with the build and materials on both phones in the hand, I think it's safe to say that the Moto G stylus is relatively comfortable. It's still a good size phone, and may not work for everyone, but when you compare it to the style 6, the difference is very obvious. This device really requires quite the stretch when reaching for the edges and corners and I know for a fact that it won't be comfortable for everyone. Most of the extra size is actually in height. The stylistics are a full half an inch taller than the Moto G stylus, though about the same width.

If you like big phones, the style is one of the largest ones you can get for this price, but I also know that it isn't necessarily for everyone. The front panels of these two devices are also designed a little differently as well. Obviously, the Moto G stylist has that cutout for the selfie camera located off to the left. Well, the style six has a fairly large teardrop notch and the style six also has a little thicker borders all around as well. That I think also contributes a little to its excess size.

This is going to be a matter of opinion, I think, but personally I, like the look of the Moto G stylus more, it looks a little cleaner, a little more, and it's just a better use of space, with a better screen to body ratio. Taking over round and everything else on left side, the Moto G stylus has just the sim and SD card tray, while the silo 6 has the volume buttons and a dedicated Google Assistant button, as well as its sim, an SD card tray on the right. Both phones have the power button with the G stylus, also having the volume buttons and down below. Both phones have a headphone jack, USB, C charging port speaker and the stylus of course, which I'll talk about in just a second around back. Both phones also have a multi camera setup which all go more in depth with a little later, and you'll also see a dedicated rear, mounted fingerprint sensor as well.

Now, I actually like that both phones have this and display fingerprint readers. Aren't something I like personally, and this setup here on. Both phones work. Well, the placement is a tiny bit better on the Moto G stylus, and the indent makes it a little easier to feel for unlocking is also a bit faster on the Moto G stylus too, which is nice, but all in all. Both phones.

Having this option is a big plus, and actually it is the only biometric unlocking option on either phones. There's no face unlock here at all. So keep that in mind as well, especially if you're coming from last year, style 5, for example, LG completely dropped the face unlock feature. So now, let's talk about the styluses, since that's pretty much the whole point of these phones. Each device has a built-in stylus, that's housed in the bottom right corner of the phone, and there are some subtle differences in the hardware with the Moto G stylus, you sort of have to pick out the stylus with your fingernail when you pull it out and want to use it while the stylus 6 has sort of a clickable mechanism that pops out and gives you something to grab on to I like this setup more it's new to the style this year, and it is a nice change for sure also, while both phones have just one right way to slide back in their respective styluses.

If you get it wrong on the Moto G stylus, you have to pull the whole thing out and readjust it. Since it's a flat, rectangular stylus with the stylus 6, you can slide it in three-quarters of the way and if it's not positioned just right, you can rotate it in place in regard to the actual styluses. They are designed a little differently to the stylus from the style of 6 is a little longer, but the Moto G stylus is a little heavier. It's also a flat design like I mentioned already, but at the end of the day, these are both just simple metal, pointer tools with a rubber tip. They aren't smart styluses, they don't connect via Bluetooth.

They don't offer any extra features or functions. Furthermore, they are just simple, pointing and tapping tools. Now, in addition to the physical styluses, both phones also have corresponding stylish related, apps and tools. You can utilize first off if you want to just use the stylus as a navigation tool, you can do that the stylus can be used to tap swipe and interact with the phones. Just like your finger, but off to the right.

Both phones have a shortcut drop down, menu of stylus, specific apps and other things that are activated when you remove the stylus from the phones. Each phone offers slightly different features. The big stuff is mostly the same. Obviously you can write out notes and memos, of course, and draw and mark up pictures and documents, but the style six has draw chat, a coloring book and gift capture, among other things, while the Moto G stylus has a screenshot editor, which is only kind of stylish related and not really a lot more. Everything else you see here is just the option to add an app shortcut, not necessarily a stylus, related feature.

I. Don't really think that everything on the style 6 is useful, of course, but it seems, like LG at least tried to offer a little more with their stylus software features than Motorola did and when it comes to actually using the stylus. Both phones have the same lag and latency issues that you'll experience when using just a simple pointer like I said already, neither phone is optimized for stylus use. The stylus is themselves, aren't anything special, and the screens aren't made for styluses, so you get a decent gap between where the pen tip is and where your line is when you're drawing or writing. If you're coming from a style device already like last year's LG, style 5, you sort of know this, but if maybe you're used to a note or an Apple Pencil.

Something like that. Just know that you're not getting that smooth, accurate experience, there's definitely some lag in regard to the actual displays themselves. Both phones offer IPS LCD panels with the Moto G stylus, coming in out of 2300 by 1080 resolution for around 399 pixels per inch and the silo six offers a 24 60 by 1080 resolution at 395 pixels per inch for the most part, their color and clarity are pretty close. They are just two LCD screens after all and when you compare that to some AMOLED screens on other budget devices, I think you're missing out both LG and Motorola could have done better. But there's actually one other important difference here worth noting the LG style 6, for whatever reason doesn't get nearly as bright as the Moto G stylus.

In fact, the style 6 is even dimmer than last year's style 5 I'm, not entirely sure what happened, and it's tough to tell on camera, unfortunately, but in person at max brightness, the difference is pretty apparent if you're outside- or maybe you just deal with a lot of glare in general I- think you'll have a better time using the Moto G stylist. All in all. Besides that, I do think that both phones still offer pretty good viewing experiences. They just aren't the best displays out there in their price range. On the other hand, when it comes to the listening experience, these phones actually offer really solid speaker setups.

Both phones have stereo speakers with one down below and an additional one in the earpiece for the Moto G stylus I think this is sort of what we expected, but with the style 6. This is a really nice addition. It isn't often you come across stereo speakers and phones under 300 bucks, and especially not at the style sixes price point. Inside both of these phones offer pretty different specs starting with a battery. Both phones actually offer the same four thousand William capacity.

Neither phone offers wireless charging, but the LG style 6 at least can charge via an 18 watt fast charger, while the Moto G stylus is stuck with just the 10 watt charging standard. However, I think the larger display on the style 6 will likely mean the same four thousand William battery won't last as long since it likely requires a bit more power, so you sort of have to decide what's more important there for me, I think I'd much rather have the fast charging support in regard to the rest of their internal specs, the Moto G stylus packs the Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset, Arena, 610, GPU, 4, gigabytes of RAM and 128 gigabytes of built storage. The style six, on the other hand, offers a MediaTek hello, p35, chipset and GE 8320 GPU, three gigabytes of RAM and 64 gigabytes of internal storage. If you couldn't tell already, the stylistics is at a decent disadvantage in comparison and when launching various apps and interacting with the UI I think you can certainly tell a difference now. One thing to note: both phones do run Android 10, but obviously we're dealing with two different approaches with LG's Android, skin and Motorola's Android skin.

Neither is stock, Android and I. Think LG in particular really offers a love it or hate it sort of experience. You can make some adjustments, of course, but all in all Android purists I, don't think well like either of these setups, like I, said already when it comes to just launching apps and interacting with the UI and even some third party stuff as well. The Moto G stylus has the clear advantage, though I, don't necessarily think the stylus 6 performs badly. That is until you start pushing it a bit harder with more graphics, heavy games.

For example, when loading Call of Duty mobile, the style 6 was like 30 seconds behind the Moto G stylus, and it was a similar story when launching pub G the style of 6, just really lagged behind with just launching and loading the main menu and when playing games, I thought the Moto G stylus actually did a pretty decent job. The phone probably has the processor and RAM you might expect for a $300 device and I do think it's enough to game. Comfortably I had no issues playing Call of Duty, for example, and I thought the game performed pretty well. When we move over to the style 6, however, I felt that not only was there a bit of lag but pretty consistent and noticeable frame dropping it would sort of go back and forth, but the inconsistency is what really got to me and I can say pretty definitively that, unfortunately, the style 6 is just not a good phone for gaming. If that's something you were looking for, I'd, probably lean more towards the Moto G stylus and all in all I do think.

The Moto G has the better internal specs as a whole anyway, especially for the price when it comes to the cameras. I think both phones offer some pretty interesting capabilities here with multiple lens setups. The Moto G stylus has a 48 megapixel f1 point: seven aperture main lens a 16 megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 2 megapixel macro lens. This Dino 6 has a 13 megapixel main lens 5, megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 5 megapixel depth sensor. Now here's the thing, the style of 6 is actually a huge improvement over last year's style 5, but it still falls way short compared to the Moto G stylus.

This phone has a ton of extras and options beyond just the far better main lens you've got 4k video, recording, a dedicated wide-angle, recording mode, 60, FPS, shooting slo-mo, night mode and a lot more. There's extra features, settings and add-ons that the style 6 simply does not have the style of 6 still has a good camera setup, but it's no comparison when stacked up against the Moto G stylus. This phone has the far better setup and just a good number of extra features and shooting modes. The silo 6 simply does not offer with the front selfie camera things are actually a little closer. The style 6 has a 13 megapixel lens, while the Moto G stylus has a 16, megapixel shooter and taking a look at a sample here.

Both phones did a pretty similar job. The detail is mostly the same. The differences really are just with the skin tone. The Moto G went with a darker saturated look, while the style 6 is a little more pale and pink and the Moto G stylus actually smooth things out a little with kind of subtle beauty mode, oh, and although I think both phones actually have a decent front camera. So here are my final thoughts.

If you're in the market for a budget phone in general, these are okay options, but there are better phones out there for the price. If you want a budget phone with a stylus and the software features to go along with it. These are actually your only two options in general. The Moto G stylus is the better choice. It offers the better internal specs and performance along with significantly more camera features and I.

Think it's a little more modern, looking device as well, but if you can pick up the style 6 for under 150 bucks- and you maybe don't care too much about gaming, that's a perfect deal for this phone. For me, though, I'm still leaning more towards the Moto G stylus. But what do you guys think? Which phone would you prefer?
