Saved you a click: it’s Motorola’s Moto G Stylus 5G (2023)
It’s just Lenovo with the Motorola name slapped on it, unfortunately. Google stripped all the useful bits and sold it off about a decade ago.
just Lenovo
So is the chances it has a factory installed rootkit on it 90 or 99%?
3.5mm jack Yes
So it’s a contender. The rest are DEAD TO ME
The Nokia XR21 also has a 3.5mm jack. It’s likely weaker performance-wise but it has a battery life of approximately 3 days so it won’t run out of juice as quickly.
I know what I’m switching to!
- S10e user
That’s a bit of a weird switch. As a fellow s10e user, I got this phone because it’s small. The Moto G Stylus is not small at all.
I got the s10e because it was the first thing in a store.
I’m not joking, I was dumb enough to quickly switch from iOS.
That’s what I did! I was so annoyed by Apple products I grabbed a Pixel. No complaints though
Ah, coming from iPhone makes sense. You probably felt that an s10e was a “normal” sized phone. After all, it is larger than the mainline iPhones at that time. The Android market had already decided an s10e was a small phone for a niche market
Yes but does it run LineageOS?
I’m trying to wrap my brain around why anyone would want a stylus for their phone.
the only advange to a keyboard that I can see is for drawing or signing documents
Is using the stylus really more efficient than typing your notes into your phone though? I guess it’s likely a preference thing but I’m amazed there’s that big of a market for that.
I like it for OneNote specifically; in a uni setting it’s nice to have a stylus handy to jot margin notes or drawings alongside my text input, do a non-rectangular crop on a photo I just took of the lecture slide to put in notes, or just idly doodle. Stylus pens are super smooth and gives me good brain feel when I do swooshy doodles.
I’ve had a Galaxy Note 9 for a few years now and, at least in my use case, I rarely use the stylus. It’s very convenient to have when I need to take notes in a meeting or something that I need to send a copy off somewhere, but day to day, I really only remember the stylus is there when I drop the phone and it pops out lol.
Tablets make total sense to me because the use for a tablet is different. I would use a stylus on a tablet with a larger screen. I wouldn’t use a stylus on my phone.
I’ve had situations where having a stylus even on the smaller screen of a phone wouod have been handy. Sketching with your finger is very crude. It’s not something I would pay a premium for and I wouldn’t want it robbing a bunch of space to fit it inside, but it would be a nice addition that I might use on and off.
It’s great to quickly draw a diagram or something similar to explain something to someone. I could use pen and paper but I prefer doing it on my phone since it’s already there. I don’t do it daily but I enjoy having this option. When I was taking a break from the Galaxy Note lineup I was sorely missing it.
I want stylus for my phone so that I can sign directly on my documents. Right now, I have to print it, then sign, then scan it.
Another use of stylus is for note taking, and solving math equations (which is often very tough to write).
Art, annotation, memos, hand drawn animation, business’y stuff of that nature
It kinda depends on the stylus though: Some are actual digitizers(pressure sensitivity for use as a paintbrush, some even recognize tilt and rotation for calligraphy) while others are just a rubber nib on a stick(rubber finger…on a stick…no electronics just rubber).
