Last week, a press render of a Motorola phone with a stylus was leaked on the web. The phone has been erroneously referred to as the Motorola Edge+, another upcoming Motorola phone, by several publications. Now the same source that revealed the image has revealed the official name of the device.
Popular leaker, Evan Blass (@evleaks) has revealed the Motorola phone with a stylus will launch as the Moto G Stylus. This not only confirms the name but also shows that the phone will belong to the mid-range category. But that is not all there is to know about the device.
The editor-in-chief of XDA Developers, Mishaal Rahman, did some extra digging and found more details about the phone.
Apparently, the Moto G Stylus has model number XT2043-4. He decided to look it up on the FCC’s database and found out that the phone is codenamed “sofia+”. That codename is similar to that of the Moto G8 Power which is “sofiar”, and thus came to the conclusion that the Moto G Stylus is a variant of the Moto G8 Power.
Using that, I looked it up on the FCC https://t.co/yIaqu9rUoS and identified the phone as code-name "sofia+". This confirms the Moto G Stylus is a variant of the Moto G8 Power, which itself is code-named "sofiar."

Alleged specs of the Moto G8 Power include a 6.36-inch FHD+ display, a Snapdragon 665 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage. It has also been reported that it will have 16MP quad rear cameras, a 25MP selfie camera, and a 5000mAh battery with support for 18W Turbo Charging. It will also run Android 10 out of the box.
