    I really like this Motorola phone, I bought it as a replacement for my old phone that had absolutely no storage space and would not function properly. I've had it for a week and I'm definitely happy with how this phone works and how quickly everything opens. The storage space, camera quality and stylus are my favorite features so far. Its also light weight and user friendly.

    Pretty good Android phone very Snappy and not that expensive, doesn't break your bank but has one little disadvantage compared to expensive phones it has less cameras on the back of it. Although the main camera is pretty good quality and takes decent pictures. I also like the fact that it has 256gig of internal storage space which should be plenty enough for years to come. It has great 3D sound and stereo speakers for playback with Dolby Atmos audio which sounds pretty good for the little phone. Oh and almost forgot the pretty cool feature of Motorola phones is that you can shake your phone twice and it turns on the flashlight, very handy feature... we use it all the time also you can enable twisting your phone for turning on camera app or something else.

    Useful, great size, good camera (still learning how to work w it in lower light at concerts. So far the best phone cam I have had). Good size. Bigger than my last phone. Ez to watch vids or read on it and for ease of camera use. I have not run into the storage issues I have had w my iPhones and generally it does well w all the apps I need and things feel quick and ez.

    Great Cost Effective Phone

    This phone is a great cost-effective option if you need a mobile phone that can do just about anything. It has the specs that are needed to run most mobile games and there is an option for multiple windows that runs well and has great support. The Phone features a stylus that is perfect for electronic document signing, editing photos, or any other task that using your finger just quite won't work. My favorite feature of this brand of phone are the various gestures that you can enable my favorite being the double chop to turn on and off the flashlight which is perfect if you're walking through the dark and need some light. If I had to criticize the phone I would say that the exterior plastic feels a bit cheap and that I am not a big fan of the front camera being in the middle of the top of the screen as it kind of gets in the way and might have looked better as a notch or just shortening the display to accommodate for it. Overall especially for the price this phone is an amazing buy. You'll have a phone with modern features including wireless payments and the latest Android OS as well as a nice stylus with great support and a decent 50 megapixel camera.

    BEST ANDROID PHONE!!!!!!!!!! of the Moto Stylus family. Screen is very vibrant along with the ability to up the refresh rate the 120 hrz. The touch sensor for the unlock button is nothing short of quick clicks, I love how fast the phone unlocks and the face ID works great. I upgraded from and iPhone 11 an although the iPhones are good phones, I'm beyond impressed with the Moto G Stylus 5g 2023. The phone is great for watching movies, videos, playing games. Exploring the web. I love this android device the duel speakers are another great feature, doubled with Dolby Atmos the lows and highs can easily be changed to fit you EQ tastes. It's not often I do a review but I'm very happy with this purchase and will be rolling with the 2023 model until the 2025 is finally out. HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR ANDROID LOVERS !!!!!!!

    I bought this phone to replace my Samsung galaxy s23 plus. At first I was skeptical about it but I really love this Motorola phone. There are some features of the Motorola that I like better. When I take a screenshot, I just have to place three fingers on the screen. The camera is different and I believe it doesn't zoom in quite as close as the Samsung but it still takes very good pictures. The fingerprint sensor is on the power button on the side of the Motorola. It is by far superior to the Samsung. The fingerprint sensor on the Samsung was sketchy at best. It didn't work 75% of the time and was more of an aggravation than a benefit. This Motorola sensor never fails and is so convenient. The battery lasts approximately twice as long as the Samsung battery did. I was constantly charging it. The cost is awesome. I paid almost $1000 less for the Motorola than the Samsung. It is definitely a great phone and I'm glad that I bought it.
