Motorola Unveils Moto Pad and New Moto G Stylus for 2026

Motorola is clearly on a roll, expanding its ecosystem with two interesting new additions: the 2026 edition of the Moto G Stylus and the brand-new Moto Pad. While Motorola has been a steady player in the smartphone market, seeing them push further into the tablet space with the Moto Pad suggests they want a bigger piece of the productivity and entertainment pie.

The Moto Pad looks like a solid contender for those who want a media-focused tablet without breaking the bank. It features an 11-inch 2.5K display, which should make streaming your favorite shows quite a treat. Under the hood, it’s powered by a MediaTek D6300 5G processor, ensuring you stay connected on the go. One of the highlights is the quad-speaker setup with Dolby Atmos support, promising an immersive audio experience. With a 7040mAh battery rated for 12 hours of streaming, it seems like a reliable companion for long flights or cozy weekends. It’ll be available in a unique Pantone Bronze Green starting April 30.

On the smartphone side, the 2026 Moto G Stylus brings some clever AI tricks to the table. The built-in stylus isn't just for navigation anymore; it now integrates with "Sketch to Image" to turn your rough doodles into polished artwork. There’s also a "Handwriting Calculator" that solves equations as you write them—perfect for students or anyone who hates toggling between apps. The hardware is equally impressive, featuring a 6.7-inch Extreme AMOLED display with a buttery-smooth 120Hz refresh rate and a 1.5K resolution. For the photographers among us, the 50MP main camera and 32MP selfie shooter seem ready to capture some great moments.

The Moto G Stylus is set to launch on April 16 with a starting price of $500. Motorola is also sweetening the deal with some aggressive bundles, including free Moto Tags, Buds, or even a Moto Watch depending on the storage version you pick. It’s an interesting move that might just tempt users looking for a versatile mid-range device.
