The Moto G Stylus phone is a more affordable alternative to the Samsung Galaxy line, offering much of the same functionality for less than half the cost. And right now, when you order one directly through Motorola, you’ll get a Moto Watch, Moto Tag, and a pair of Moto Buds Loop earbuds for free — just add the phone to your cart, and the website will automatically apply the discount.

The included stylus lets you do more than navigate apps. You can jot down notes in a meeting or your grocery list before heading to the store. And you can even sketch and paint in your favorite art apps to capture your ideas whenever they strike. 

The 6.7-inch AMOLED display provides plenty of space to work as well as a maximum refresh rate of 300Hz and a peak brightness of 5,000 nits for smooth video playback and excellent visibility in bright rooms and sunlight. And with the ability to recreate up to 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, you’ll get more accurate colors for streaming, video calls, and digital art.

The Moto G Stylus supports Dolby Atmos for enhanced sound while streaming video and music, and Bluetooth connectivity means you can use your favorite earbuds for private listening. The frame is made with a vegan leather back for an ultra-stylish look and a screen made with MIL-STD-810H rated Corning Gorilla Glass for protection against cracking. The phone also has both an IP68 and IP69 rating for water and dust resistance, so you don’t have to worry about spills, a bit of rain, or a beach day ruining your new phone.

How I rated this deal 

The chance to upgrade your entire arsenal of everyday carry tech at once, and mostly for free, seems too good to be true. But not only are you getting an excellent (and affordable) smartphone, you’re also getting a smartwatch, tracking tag, and a pair of Bluetooth earbuds at no extra cost. That’s why I gave this deal a 5/5 Editor’s rating.
