Frequently asked

Does the Motorola Edge 60 Neo have a telephoto camera?

Yes. It includes a dedicated 10MP 3x optical zoom telephoto with OIS alongside a 50MP main and 13MP ultra-wide — a real telephoto is rare in this price range.

How durable is the Edge 60 Neo?

Very durable for a mid-ranger: it carries IP68 and IP69 ratings against dust, immersion and high-pressure water jets, plus MIL-STD-810H certification.

When does the Moto G Stylus (2026) stop getting updates?

Motorola promises two major Android upgrades and three years of security patches from its April 2026 release, so security coverage ends around April 2029. That's a standard upgrade cycle but well behind the six-plus years some rivals offer, so factor it in if you plan to keep the phone a long time.

Is the stylus on the Moto G Stylus (2026) actually good?

It's a major leap over past models. The 2026 pen is a genuine active stylus with pressure and tilt sensitivity and a tiny rechargeable battery, so writing and drawing feel far more natural. It docks in the body, and a button opens a floating menu for quick notes, screenshots and Circle to Search.
