I've been using the Motorola ePlay for about two years and this was easily the best update I could've spring for! The camera is great for vibrant outdoor pictures and good for indoor ones too. I absolutely love the thin stylus and all the pen-based functions it provides, plus the convenience of the fingerprint reader and the fast processing time. I have Metro and Spectrum Wi-Fi, and it seems to have more trouble than my Moto when it comes to internet connection, but outside if that it's a steal! (And it does actually come unlocked, unlike some other "Unlocked" phones on the market.)

This phone meets all my needs, big screen, very good camera. I do not understand why people pay thousand dollars for a phone when you can do almost everything with phone that costs under$200.

I was a bit bothered by the price honestly Ive never paid over $100 for a phone. I was unsure of what to expect but its great. My applications run smoothly & quickly. The camera is awesome. I enjoy the voice command for the photos. I love the simplicity of adding my music to phone & creating ringtones. I think its worth every penny. Oh & I like using the stylus & the noise it makes so I know its securely placed back inside the phone.

My previous cell phone was a small one with a slider keyboard (I have had problems with a 'touch' keyboard - too many keys get touched). The stylus takes care of that problem. There are a LOT of features to get used to, but it's pretty intuitive, so I haven't needed the User Guide much. If a dinosaur like me can make this work, than normal people will have no problem at all! It's a little larger than I expected (size-wise), but that just means more text fits on the screen.

I got this phone for $199.00 on sale and using reward points. It's a pretty nice looking phone, looks better than the price would suggest and definitely the biggest screen you can get at this price point. I don't know if I would pay $299.00 for it, but for $199.00 it can't be beat.

I have had this phone for a few weeks and I love it. I used to have a Samsung Note 3 and after having many issues with it I decided it was time for a new phone. I has similar features to the Note 3 which is great. I can do multiple screens, use the stylus for taking notes and photo editing. Considering how much cheaper this phone was compared to the Note 3 this was a really good deal!!!

I was in need of a new phone due to old one broken, this one is unlocked so just needed chip replacement and was plug and play after the usual initial configuration.
Price affordable, no contracts no commitments, ready to use.

For $220, there isn't anything you could go wrong with, esp if this is an unlocked one.
For the features and the Stylus, this phone packs in a bang. I loved the stylus. ITs responsive and the screen is nice and bright.
Highly recommend, for anyone who doesnt want to get a flagship that costs upward of 800

Bought this phone fir my wife. Its a better version than the one i have. Best buy specific the Phone came with 32gb of memory vs mine 16 and 3gb of ram vs the lg4 stylo i have. Photos are good enough. The ony con it records up to 1080p@30fps. Good enough phone to take bunch of daily photos of our kids, and 6.2inch screen is just big enough.

For reference, I bought this phone coming off of a flip phone. From my perspective, it's pretty awesome and has substantially increased my productivity. While I had my reservations, given that the stylus had a blunt tip, I learned to appreciate how that made it sturdier. It doesn't turn my phone into a portable canvas, so this isn't what I would buy to practice fine art on the go, but at present I do not have the time for that, so in the meantime I appreciate how it helps me navigate through research pages better.
The area where I saw it make the biggest difference was with fixing typos. It allowed me to accurately select the spot in a word where I wanted to make changes. In my experience, though you can use the stylus to make handwritten memos, it takes up enough space that it's more convenient to type them out if the memos are more than a simple bullet-point list. If I'm recording my thoughts in actual sentences, I will use the screen keyboard every time. With that having been said, the default pen strokes are absolutely perfect for writing Chinese calligraphy, if you're into that.
There is an occasional bug when removing the stylus. It's supposed to be that every time you remove it, a pop-up menu appears on the screen. The cornerstone of the menu is a symbol of the stylus, and branching out from it are several features, such as GIF capture, image capture, pop memo, pop lens (magnifying glass), and the option to add more tools. This is neet; however, it doesnt always happen. Sometimes, I will also have the opposite happen, where I have already been using my stylus and suddenly the menu pops up. I'm never sure what initiates it. Therefore, this menu isn't 100% consistent. It has yet to inconvenience me, but it's a noteworthy imperfection, particularly since it applies to the Stylo 4's signature feature.
The other two noteworthy hardware features are the camera and the thumbprint reader. The camera is thoroughly average and what you'd expect for this price range. The quality is good, but it performs poorly in low lighting, and even medium warm lighting. The expandable SD storage adequately compensates for this, so that I can take hundreds of pictures per day without worrying about my remaining space. The thumbprint reader has never failed me, reads my print at any angle, and is not too inconvenient to reach for if you have a case, which actually helps quite a bit when it comes to guiding you finger to it.
On the OS side of things, I'm a little annoyed that I can't delete the apps for Facebook and Instagram. Most people wouldn't care, but I personally want to not even have the option to go on social media so that it doesn't become a temptation.
Overall, you'd be hard-pressed to have me switch over to another phone within the same price range, since this does everything that I need it to do quite well, and provides a user experience halfway to that of a Pro device while being a fraction of the cost of one.

This phone is outstanding and also a great value. It is only $199.99 ($100.00 off of the list price), and in my learned opinion, there is nothing in this price range that comes close. Even for twice Best Buy's discounted price! It is worth noting that the bezel is metal, not plastic.

In business, as in life, the key is Return On Investment. There certainly are phones with more. Is the Samsung Galaxy Note 9+, or LG's own V40 worth the extra $700 ~ $800 sky-high price tag? Perhaps, if you are 1/10th of 1 percent of the population, needing bleeding-edge technology, and you have money burning a hole in your pocket.
For the vast majority of people, the LG Stylo 4 is more than sufficient to do what is needed and much more...
I purchased this phone less than 1 week ago, and at my recommendation, a close personal friend has purchased one as a result.

I was in love with my Samsung note 4 so when came time to finally upgrade i was told to try this phone! Best decision ever! All the qualities I love. Big screen, stylus, amazing camera, and works great with android apps. Plus price was amazing at best buy. Half of what i would of paid for a Samsung or iphone.

Great phone, used Moto's in the past and only reason I went from the Moto's to the LG was the phone screen. When talking, my ear would always hit the speaker button on the right side of the screen;
blasting the conversation in my ear. The LG button is the left side of the screen; perfect for me since I use the phone with my right hand.
Bigger screen is a welcome up grade for me even though not that much bigger but does make a difference. Also the side buttons work really good with the silicone case that I have on it.
Oh yes, seems to use the battery power far faster then my Moto's but it charges up about twice as fast; so no problem so far.

Its a good phone for the price, the signal and the internet runs perfectand the camera. Two thing i found bad, is very difficult the position to put the pen back when i use it and you have to put a good quality memorie card because it doesnt work.
