The Moto G-series has always showcased how well Motorola makes budget camera phones with an edge. The first Moto G rewrote the affordable smartphone rules, and eight generations later, the Moto G8 Plus has crammed a 48MP camera into a relatively low-cost handset. Now, it looks like the Lenovo-owned smartphone maker’s next frontier for its Gs is pen input, with recent leaks pointing to the name - Moto G Stylus.

The rumored phone name was shared by prolific tech leaker @Evleaks, shortly after a render surfaced showcasing an all-screen display with a punch-hole camera, and of course, that pen. Additional details reveal the phone’s codename – Sofia+ – which suggest it to be a variant of the G8 Power, another phone expected to launch this MWC.
