Motorola is still in celebration mood as a result of the sales of the Moto G series exceeding 100 million units. The US company has now launched to new G series models to commemorate this monumental feat. The Moto G Power and Moto G Stylus were announced today for the US and Canada markets. The two models are not really new as they have been keeping the tech media space buzzing from several weeks running. However, Motorola dropped the number from the name, opting for G instead of G8. 
Both the Moto G Power and Moto G Stylus ar premium mid-range models bt the G Stylus is on top of the line. This isn’t as a result of only the Stylus pen which it bundles along but also due to better camera setup.
The Motorola Moto G Power sports a 6.4-inch LCD display with a FullHD+resolution of 1080p and a punch-hole camera. The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset paired with 4GB of RAM and there is 64GB of storage onboard. Motorola has trimmed down the bezels a little this year, but there’s still a noticeable “chin” below the screen.

The G Power packs a mammoth 5,000mAh battery which Motorola says should get you about three days on a full charge. The device utilises a plastic body and is equipped with stereo speakers. The device has a thickness of 9.63mm. The phone also packs a fingerprint sensor at the back embedded with the Moto logo. There is equally a headphone jack onboard.
For photography, the Moto G Power packs a triple camera setup arranged vertically at the top left corner. The camera includes a 16MP main sensor, a 2MP macro camera, and an 8 MP ultra-wide shooter (118-degrees). The samples shared by Motorola shows the camera setup has some prospect.
The Moto G Stylus packs a similar plastic chassis under a similar 6.4-inch LCD FHD+ display. The fingerprint sensor, processor, and RAM are similar to those of the G Power. But the 4GB RAM teams up with 128GB of internal storage. The device also packs a smaller 4000mAh battery which isn’t too bad. Despite having a stylus pen, the G Stylus is slightly thinner at 9.2mm. Talking of the stylus, it is located at the bottom right edge f the display and it has to be removed manually as there is no pop-up mechanism.
On the camera aspect, the G Stylus features a triple camera setup as well, but the sensors are a bit different. The only camera the new G phones share is the 2MP macro lens. There’s a 48MP main sensor on the G Stylus that defaults to “quad-pixel” binned images at 12MP. Plus, the pixels are larger at 1.6μm compared to the Power’s 1.12μm pixels. There’s also a 16MP action cam with a 117-degree field-of-view. Like the One Action from last year, you can hold the phone vertically and capture landscape video. There’s a button to toggle between “regular” video and the action cam video
Pricing and Availability
The new Moto G models are expected to be released in the US and Canada sometime in the Spring. The G Power will retail for $249.99 while the G Stylus will cost $299.99.
