Motorola suddenly raises budget phone prices up to 50%-you can probably thank AI
"Motorola has enacted price increases of up to 50 percent on the rest of its 2026 Moto G lineup, indicating a shift in pricing strategy for budget smartphones."
"The Moto G Play increased to $250, a 38 percent increase, while the Moto G went to $300, reflecting a significant 50 percent price bump."
"The new Moto G Stylus features a slightly larger battery and basic pressure sensitivity support for the stylus, but these upgrades do not justify the $100 increase."
The 2026 Moto G Stylus is priced at $500, marking a $100 increase from the previous model. Other models in the Moto G lineup have also seen price hikes, with increases up to 50 percent. The Moto G Play, Moto G, and Moto G Power now cost $250, $300, and $400 respectively. The new G Stylus features minor upgrades, including a larger battery and basic pressure sensitivity for the stylus, but these do not justify the price increase in isolation.
