The LG Stylo 5 has a 6.2 inch display
The next largest is the Galaxy Note 10 with a 6.3-inch display, followed by the 6.4-inch display on the Moto G Stylus.They also follow a
similar trend when it comes to resolution
Each has a Full HD+ display
For the LG Stylo 5, that means a 1080 x 2160 resolution
The Note 10 stretches that to 1080 x 2280 (though it expands to QHD+
signature flagship polish.The LG Stylo 5 and Moto G Stylus use IPS displays
a Super AMOLED display
That gives it pure blacks that make for an incredible contrast ratio

Of course, this is just a part of it being an ultra-premium smartphone and not a budget device.(Image credit: LG)OS and performanceThis is
It runs Android 9 Pie on a Snapdragon 450 octa-core chipset
It has 3GB of RAM and just a 32GB storage capacity
It runs Android 10 on a Snapdragon 665 octa-core chipset with 4GB of RAM
It goes a lot further with 128GB of storage topped off with microSD support.(Image credit: Future)Naturally, the Galaxy Note 10 goes much
further
It has a Snapdragon 855 octa-core chipset, or an Exynos 9825 depending on the market, which has dramatically faster speeds than its
competition
It also gets 8GB of RAM to run on
it lacks a microSD slot
GSMArena.The phones differentiate on wireless connections as well

It only records 1080p video at 30fps
The front-facing camera is a 5MP wide-angle sensor, and it has the same video limitations.The Moto G Stylus has a lot more on offer
The front-facing camera offers a 16MP resolution for sharp selfies, though it can also only record 1080p/30fps video
The rear gets more interesting with 4K/30fps video and electronic video stabilization
This gives it much more versatility and decent quality in our experience.(Image credit: Future)The Galaxy Note 10 offers a triple camera
sensor on the back as well
It has one 16MP ultra-wide sensor and a 12MP wide-angle sensor with a dual-aperture mode that can let in extra light
The third is a 12MP telephoto camera with a 2x optical zoom
with 4K/60fps, digital stabilization, and even HDR10+ recording
It also has slow-mo modes for up to 960fps at HD resolution of 240fps at 1080p
little room to doubt that the Galaxy Note 10 is far and away the best of the stylus phones
It has more polish, more performance, and more capability
some semblance of a budget
the two budget smartphones, the Moto G Stylus takes the lead in enough regards that we feel comfortable calling it the winner - though
implementations, which avoid bloatware
The extra camera features and screen space are a big plus, and well worth the extra money
The LG Stylus 5 may have the lowest price, but it feels like it should be even cheaper given what it lacks in the face of
