The Moto G Stylus has recently been launched by Motorola. The LG stylo 5 is launched in June of 2019 so it’s a little bit on the older side at this point and if they do make a Stylo 6 then it’s probably only a couple of months away but the LG stylo 5 is available for purchase many retailers are selling it at around the 200 dollar price range. The Moto G stylus is getting a 6.4-inch display compared to a 6.2-inch display with the LG Stylo 5.
The biggest difference between these two phones definitely has to be the processor with the Moto G Stylus we are getting the Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 compared to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 with the Stylo 5. The Moto G Stylus will satisfy the majority of people out there whereas the LG Stylo 5 comes with few slowdowns considering that the processor.

One thing we noticed right away is the difference in speaker quality and location, on the LG you have a bottom-firing speaker which isn’t bad for just having one speaker but Motorola takes that one step further and added a second speaker up where the earpieces making it not only louder than the LG but it has a better overall balance and sound and just makes watching videos that much more enjoyable.
