The new T-Mobile is not resting when it comes to rolling out the post-merger 5G network, piggybacking on Sprint's vast 2.5GHz holdings. It's also not resting when it comes to welcoming new phones in its portfolio, tried and tested on the merged network.
Since 5G coverage is still limited, though, and its median speeds in the low- to mid-bands are as fast as the fastest 4G LTE, there should be something for those who don't want fancy new 5G handsets, and T-Mobile just announced a trio of new budget phones coming its, Sprint's and Metro's ways.

The new smartphone's standout feature is again a stylus for "creativity and productivity whenever that idea sparks." T-Mobile also lists the following Stylo 6 specs, price and release dates:

Motorola moto g stylus price, specs and release on T-Mobile, Sprint and Metro
Last but definitely not least, the new T-Mobile introduces us to another phone with a stylus in its newfangled budget phone roster, the Motorola moto g stylus (yes, Moto insists on the no-caps naming scheme for some reason.
Motorola moto g stylus specs and price on Metro by T-Mobile:
Cameras: 48 MP + 16MP ultrawide + 2MP macro + 16MP front camera system
Battery: 4000mAh
Price: $239
Motorola moto g stylus
As you can see, the Motorola moto g stylus is a very worthy contender to the LG Stylo 6 specs, what with its slide-out stylus and 128GB of storage, not to mention the "48MP, AI-powered triple camera system," or the large 4000mAh battery. A phone with a stylus needs a tad larger screen to work on, though, so the Stylo 6 has an advantage in that regard.
In any case, the Motorola moto g stylus is already launched on Metro by T-Mobile today for $239, and if you switch from another carrier you can get it for free. Even if you are just looking for a new budget phone, it's amazing what two Benjamins and change can buy these days. Any takers?
