Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 vs Moto G Stylus 5G face-off seems like a crazy thing The former phone is a premium device that carries a price tag as lofty as its feature set, and offers the best processors for screens and Android phones The Moto G Stylus5G, on the other hand, is just a fraction of the Galaxy Z Fold's値札1,799 price tag, a予算399 budget phone that doesn't offer nearly as many high-end features

These phones at both ends of the price scale have one thing in common, but both offer the use of a stylus1 The Galaxy Z Fold3 supports Samsung's s Pen and is sold as a separate accessory for foldable phones Moto G Stylus 5G comes with a built-in stylus that enjoys its own dedicated slot in the phone

The fact that there are two phones out there that support the stylus raises a simple question - one offers better stylus-friendly features After all, if it's pretty close, you can easily justify some of the trade-offs that the Moto G Stylus5G needs

Here we will take a closer look at the features of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 and Moto G Stylus5G stylus — whether the Motorola phone's built-in stylus is a better value than the Samsung foldable and

The S pen works just like the Galaxy Z Fold3, as well as previous Galaxy Note phones and the Galaxy S21Ultra You can use the stylus to jot down notes or draw on the phone screen And thanks to the extra screen real estate provided by the Galaxy Z Fold3's unique design, you can use more drawing area than any other phone

The biggest feature of the S pen is that it allows you to write down notes without launching the Galaxy Z Fold3 If your fold is opened, just touch the stylus on the phone's display by pressing the S-pen button - it activates the off-screen note function, which allows you to start the phone first and take notes on your heart content without opening the note-taking app

Otherwise, with the Galaxy Z Fold3 turned on, just place the s pen over the phone's internal display and you'll see the S pen icon Tap on it and you will see a menu of what you can do with the stylus This includes creating notes, viewing all notes, a screenshot markup tool called Screen Write, and Live Messages, which allows you to take and draw photos and videos

A particularly useful tool includes Smart Select, the pen can be translated to perform more accurate photo editing and translate text With AR Doodle you can draw something in augmented reality that will stay fixed in the real world on the z Fold3 display - it feels like a party trick to me, but artistically inclined food owners will get a kick out of it

Note that the S pen can only be used on the Galaxy Z Fold3's main display The exterior cover screen does not work with the stylus It costs just a fraction of the amount you pay for the Galaxy Z Fold, but the Moto G Stylus5G offers very similar features There's the ability to jot down off-screen notes - just pull the stylus out of the built-in slot on your Motorola phone to get the job done If the stylus is turned off when the Moto G Stylus5G is active, the pop-up menu gives you access to quick access to various stylus-based features, mainly Moto Notes and Google Keep Notes

However, there are not only note-taking apps, but also ones available You can also access the Screenshot Capture tool and tap the screen recording shortcutThe latter helps in troubleshooting You can also launch Cinemagraph mode where you can select some of the photos to animate; Moto's Stylus has a coloring book app especially if you want to blow away a little steam when making a more accurate selection

Delve into the settings from the pen panel of the Moto G Stylus to adjust what appears when you tap the pen icon on the screen In most cases, at this point, you can add an app to launch by tapping the stylus

The S pen is noticeably longer and thicker than the stylus that came with the Moto G Stylus 5GThe S pen is a shade over 5 inches long, while the Motorolas stylus is a 5-inch Moto G stylus is very thin, while the S pen is about as thick as a pencil or pen This makes it a bit easier to hold your Samsung stylus, especially during long drawing sessions While using the Galaxy Z Fold, I was using the S Pen Fold Edition with a missing Bluetooth connection, similar to the pen on the Moto G Stylus5G That is, these stylus are essentially drawing and writing tools It cannot be used as a remote control like S Pen Pro which can connect to Galaxy Z Fold3 via Bluetooth But atル99, the S Pen Pro is more expensive than theS49 S Pen Fold Edition

And it gets to the center of the big difference between the 2 stylus Samsung is treating the S pen as an optional accessory for the Galaxy Z Fold3 You need to buy it separately, and since the phone itself does not have a holster for the stylus, you will also need a case to keep the S-pen attached to your phone The Moto G Stylus5G comes with a stylus — it's right next to the name — and has a built-in slot in the lower right corner of the phone Not only does the phone have a stylus feature, it's here that the Galaxy Z Fold3 can flex its muscles on top of the moto G Stylus Let's start with the obvious fact that the Galaxy Z Fold3 offers a larger display than the Moto G Stylus's 68-inch panel When opened, the crease provides a 76-inch workspace It also doesn't mention the 62-inch cover display on the outside of the phoneThis gives you quick access to the app without having to open your phone Both displays on the Galaxy Z Fold3 have a dynamic refresh rate, while the Moto G Stylus5G is fixed at 60Hz The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 runs on a Snapdragon 5 system on chip compared to the Snapdragon 480 5G inside the Moto G Stylus888g If the benchmark is a fight, the referee will stop this very quickly - to tell you how big a contest this is, the Galaxy Z Fold's multi-core score of Geekbench3,418 will paste the result of the Moto G Stylus's 1,651 Suffice it to say that you will get more performance from the Galaxy Z Fold3

You don't really buy either phone for the camera, but when it's time to take a picture, the Galaxy Z Fold3 is better equipped for handling the job The main shooter and the super wide angle lens and telephoto lensスIt has three rear cameras plus front cameras on both displays The Moto G Stylus is a two-shooter game enhanced by a dedicated macro lens and depth sensor, offering a more conventional main and ultra-wide-angle camera setup

When lighting conditions are good, the Moto G Stylus5G matches the photos taken with the Galaxy Z Fold3, but at moments when things get dark or harder, Samsung's excellent image processing 2 photos of a birthday cake taken at soft dusk are a good example of what each phone can do The Galaxy Z Fold3 shot above does a good job with the color of the chocolate cake, even if some of the candles are a bit out of focus The Moto G stylus has the same focus problem and it is giving the cake a reddish glow

There's one area where the Moto G Stylus5G surpasses the crease, and that's battery life1 Perhaps because Fold's 4,400mAh had to turn on 2 screens, the battery Galaxy Z Fold3, which included continuous web surfing on the phone until the phone was turned off, was only 7 hours and 52 minutes, more than 2 hours shorter than the average result And it was fixing the screen of the Z Fold3 with a refresh rate of 60hz (When the Dynamic Refresh rate feature was enabled, the Z Fold3 results decreased by almost 1 hour and 20 minutes)

Due to Motorola's strong track record in long-term phone production, the Moto G Stylus5G and its 5,000mAh battery lasted 10 hours and 50 minutes in battery tests It just misses out on a spot on the list of the best phone battery life, but it's still an excellent result Your Moto G Stylus5G will last longer than the Galaxy Z Fold3

Obviously, the Galaxy Z Fold3 is a more complete phone, from a foldable display to a powerful processor and the ability to run up to 3 apps at once on the same fast refresh display As a mid-range phone, the Moto G Stylus5G can't compete overall, and it doesn't really try to compete However, if you restrict it to just the features of Stylus, the Motorola G Stylus5G matches well with the Galaxy Z Fold3 with the S pen Valuable features like off-screen notes are available on the cheap Motorola G Stylus 5G, and it's easy to jot down notes or scribble sketches - although you handle a much smaller screen Even better, the stylus is included in the Moto G Stylus5G and has a place to store on the phone itself For the Galaxy Z Fold3, the S pen feels like it's tacked on

Not many people recommend the Moto G Stylus3G over the Galaxy Z Fold5g But if taking notes is all that matters to you, you don't have to pony up55G for the phone that comes with its own stylus, which is a great way to get your phone to work
