In summary

  • Moto G Stylus 2026 pictured
  • Shown in lilac and black
  • Looks like another affordable Galaxy Ultra alternative

Fresh details of a potential stylus-driven Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra alternative have emerged with pictorial evidence of the Moto G Stylus 2026.

Digital scribblers haven’t had many alternatives to Samsung’s flagship phone over years. Which, given the price of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (and its predecessors), is a bit of a problem.

One manufacturer that does pop up with the odd stylus-driven phone is Motorola, and Android Headlines has some alleged images of its next model: the Moto G Stylus 2026.

As you can see, the phone is very much in keeping with the flowing, Pantone-coloured design language that the Lenovo-owned brand has made its own in recent years.

The telltale sign that we’re dealing with something different to (for example) the forthcoming Motorola G57 Power is the clear presence of a stylus.

Moto G Stylus 2026 colours and likely pricing

Otherwise, it’s shown in two colours – a lilac colour and a light black/dark grey shade. Both seem to feature the company’s signature eco leather material, which should make them extra grippy while you’re scrawling away with your other hand.

It looks as if we’re getting three camera sensor here, though that’s no guarantee of a dedicated telephoto. The Moto G Stylus 2025 certainly didn’t have one.

That previous phone was a decidedly affordable smartphone offering (about $400), which leads us to assume that the Moto G Stylus 2026 is also going to be cheap. Certainly way cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra , at any rate.

Of course, another point to note about the Moto G Stylus 2026’s predecessor is that it didn’t come to the UK or Europe. Nor did the related Motorola Edge 60 Stylus . Here’s hoping that changes for the new model.
