Motorola Stylus vs Samsung S26 Ultra: Full Breakdown & Transcript

[00:01] does the name Motorola even come from?" And you might be surprised that back in the 1930s, Motorola's whole stick was putting radios into cars. Hence the name motor ola. Ola was a popular suffix back in the day signifying sound, like the

[00:16] radiola home radio or the griffindola phonograph. Motorola just stuck, even though they don't make car radios anymore. Motorola, however, just made a Samsung S26 Ultra competitor with an internal

[00:30] stylus at a fraction of the cost. 500 bucks versus 1,100. The stylus can do a few things. It can act as a magnifier for the screen, kind of nifty. It can also convert writing to text, just like Samsung, and it can even

[00:44] complete your hand-drawn mathematical equations. However, it looks like the computer brain missed one of the ones at the beginning of my number, which means probably a lesson in there somewhere about letting AI do your thinking for

[00:57] lesson is. Surprisingly, the pen housing is made from metal, making it quite a bit more durable than Samsung's S Pen. The battery, as you can tell, is very durably housed in the upper half of the

[01:10] stylus, as you can see from the coils of electrodes wound up tight inside of the metal exterior housing. Don't try this at home. Shorted batteries have a very distinctive smell of burnt Skittles. You can take a look at the screen. The

[01:23] Motorola stylus is using a 6.7-in screen, while Samsung uses a 6.9-in. Samsung also has 500 pixels per inch, where Motorola has 444. And Motorola doesn't have the anti-glare coating nor the privacy mode. Take a

[01:39] look at this SIM card tray, a blast from the past. We get the freedom to expand our storage with an SD card slot, up to 1 TB. Amazing. There is a front-facing 32-megapixel hole-punch camera under the

[01:54] glass with a very thin earpiece slit between the glass and the jack sits right next to the 68 watt turbo power USB-C port, which is faster

[02:09] than Samsung's 60 watts. The back panel is made from a very rubbery silicone polymer type material, which in my opinion is far better than glass, which is bound to shatter at some point. Samsung's have never wavered in their

[02:21] structural rigidity, so let's see if this Motorola can hang. When it's bent the top end, right below that camera plateau, but no cracks or permanent kinks. When bent from the front, we get the same amount of minimal flex, but the

[02:35] Motorola Stylus is still surprisingly strong even without the stylus helping out from the inside. At $500 so far, the Motorola is holding its own against Samsung, but let's pop it open and see what's really under the hood. Make sure
