If a better camera is a priority for your photography and videography needs, and you're okay with spending a bit more, the Samsung Galaxy Note10+ has a higher quality camera system, including HDR video support and a telephoto lens. It also comes with a glass body, a sharper OLED screen, and wireless charging capabilities. However, the Motorola Moto G Stylus (2023) is more current, offers a large plastic body which may be more durable, an LCD screen with a higher refresh rate for smoother visuals, and comes with a built-in stylus, just like the Note10+, but at a budget price. Both phones offer considerable battery life and storage capacity. The Note10+ is older but may have features appealing to power users, such as a better screen and Samsung's Wireless DeX for desktop-like experience. Give Feedback

John Velasco | July 2023
"Now in its third generation iteration, the Moto G Stylus 5G (2023) takes the incremental step of being taken more seriously — backed by a cleaner design, upgraded chipset, and a 120Hz display refresh rate. What makes it different from other phones today is that it’s packaged with a stylus that tucks inside of the phone when it’s not being used."

"It is difficult to drain the 4300-mAh battery on the Samsung Galaxy Note10+. I tried. I used it over the weekend, and I didn’t have to recharge it once between Friday afternoon and Sunday evening. It’s a shiny spectacle of a phone, a kind of playground for Samsung, where the company can flex its acrobatic skills."
