Which is better for taking notes or drawing?

The Moto G Stylus 2020. It ships with a built-in pen and a sharper screen, while the Power 2021 has no stylus support.

Which has the better battery?

The Moto G Power 2021. Long battery life is its main design goal, and owners pick it for that. The Stylus 2020 gets through a normal day but does not match it.

Is the bigger screen on the Power worth it?

Only if you value size over sharpness. The Power's 6.6-inch panel is larger but runs at 720p, so text and video look softer than on the Stylus 2020's 1080p screen.

Which is better for photos?

Close call. Both have a 48 MP main camera and an ultra-wide. The Power adds a macro lens for close-ups; the Stylus has the sharper screen for reviewing shots.

The Power 2021 has the battery edge and water resistance, which helps durability. The Stylus 2020 is lighter and has more storage, but it is not rated water resistant.

Is the Stylus worth stepping up to?

If you will actually use the pen, yes. You also get double the storage and a sharper display. If not, the Power's battery and water resistance are the better fit.

Motorola Moto G Stylus 2020 vs Motorola Moto G Power 2021

The Moto G Stylus 2020 is the better pick for note-takers, artists and anyone who wants more storage and a sharper screen. The Moto G Power 2021 wins on battery life, water resistance and a larger display. Reviewers rate both well, but the Stylus has far more owner feedback and its built-in pen is a feature the Power simply lacks.

Choose the Moto G Stylus 2020 if you want a built-in stylus for notes and sketching, plus double the storage and a sharper 1080p screen.
Choose the Moto G Power 2021 if long battery life, a big 6.6-inch screen and water resistance matter more to you than a pen.
