Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) vs Xiaomi POCO X6
The Verdict
Both phones offer solid value in the budget-friendly segment, but they cater to different priorities. Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G stands out with its stylus functionality, superior IP68 water resistance, wireless charging capability, and brighter pOLED display at 1300 nits. However, Xiaomi POCO X6 delivers better raw performance with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset, superior display resolution (2712 x 1220), significantly faster 67W charging, and lower base price at $279. Battery capacity favors POCO slightly at 5100 mAh versus 5000 mAh. Camera specs are competitive, though Moto G offers better main sensor performance with f/1.8 aperture and OIS. For stylus enthusiasts and those prioritizing durability and wireless charging, the Moto G Stylus 5G justifies its premium. Value-conscious buyers seeking faster performance and quicker charging should choose the POCO X6.
