    Excellent phone for the price ! I needed an upgrade for my nearly 3 year old phone, with it's battery wearing out. After exhaustive research, this Moto g stylus 5G was my choice. 256gb memory, stereo speakers, fast processor, a stylus if I need it ( don't need to use it much), SD card memory expansion, and some features I don't even care to use.

    I think this phone is good enough for a large chunk of people. Runs smoothly for daily use of the common apps like Whatsapp, gmail, youtube, etc. Decent camera quality. The stylus is a nice touch. The battery is a bit less lasting than the Motorola "Power" series phone I replaced, but still enough for my primary use as a stay-at-home worker since I mainly use my laptop/desktop anyway, and it performs better/smoother.

    My son changed carriers and needed a 5G phone, but didn't have a lot of money to spend. This phone gets good reception with no complaints about sound quality or battery life. The camera is decent, too. It's not a flagship phone, but you can't beat it for the price.

    I bought it because it was cheap and has an SD slot. It's kind of slow and the stylus is kind of useless (inaccurate and unresponsive), but it works fine for general use. Pretty good camera though. I would only recommend to someone that doesn't need a lot of power or speed in their phone.

    This is my 6th Motorola phone since 2016. My main reason for purchasing the phone was it offers more 5G bands than my old phone. My hope was I will have fewer connectivity issues. The stylus is okay. It was not a factor in my purchase. It is nothing I will use. My previous phone was a Motorola One 5G Ace. This phone is slightly smaller and lighter. The unlock with your finger feature works well. I have had no issues with calls or texting. The apps I use work as they should. Battery life has been disappointing. I adjusted my screen brightness setting today in an effort to test if the battery will last longer. The camera serves my uses, it is easy to use. Regular price is $400, it has been on sale several times for $300. I purchased this as an open box item for $226. All I received was the phone and cable to transfer data from my old phone. It is not markedly different to my previous phone. I have no major performance issues to brag about and no disappointments to report. This Motorola fits my use and price point. I am satisfied.

    I purchased the Motorola Stylus 5G 2023 to replace my aging Galaxy S21. One of the reasons is the S21 had 128GB and Z NO sd slot, and it is bursting at the storage seams. My new 5G has double the storage AND an expansion slot.. My storage worries are over. The fingerprint sensor on the power button is convenient and works well compared to the S21's sensor. I've had no issues with the somewhat slower processor. I only run @ 60Hz (120Hz available) to preserve battery power. All my streaming sites look fantastic and no jitters. ------- My biggest issue is with the battery. It is almost 20% larger than the Samsung's, but it runs dry quickly (< 1 day). I'm going to do some digging and see if I can find a cause. At about 20% the price of a new S24, this phone is WELL WORTH IT !

      Thank you for sharing your detailed experience, PorkNachos! It sounds like you've made a thoughtful upgrade choice, especially considering the increased storage capacity and the addition of the expansion slot for even more space. We're glad to hear that the fingerprint sensor on the power button is working well for you, providing a convenient and reliable way to unlock your phone. It's also great that you're able to optimize the display refresh rate to balance performance and battery life. For your battery concern, several factors could be leading to quick discharge, these include signal strength, charging habits & device settings.

    I think in terms of the display and the camera I think it's better than my Samsung A53 (Also a good mid-range phone). It also has a pretty speedy processor and I think it is in par with the Samsung A53. It has stereo speakers which sound really good and crisp in video chatting, but I think the Samsung A53 is still better in sound overall. It's a good mid-range phone. I only wish the screen was bigger like the previous stylus model.

    I don't believe you can beat this phone for the money. I actually ended up returning this only because the speaker option on the phone isn't loud enough for my use. Other than that, every other thing on this phone is on par with flagship phones in my opinion, plus it allows for a microSD card to expand the memory.

    Love my new phone -- At work they prefer Iphones -- thinking that Android is just "cheap" so its for people who can't afford Iphones -- umm.. no -- love the features and ease of use ---its just a win win that I don't have to pay 2k for a phone that won't last longer than 2 years before it has to be replaced....its a no brainer in my book.

    My old phone, still working, is over seven years old and more and more new apps won't run on it. From that perspective, this phone is fast, has large storage, and a nice, well automated set up. The camera seems to have good quality (but which is not very important to me) and its other features are as good. The installed file app, however, is horrible.

    Best Buy Ads don’t make it clear that a Sim Card is needed from your carrier. It won’t work without one. So that’s a hassle for us not accustomed to cell phones yet. The new phone itself is great so far, the Old Apps transferred, but try to remember 25+ passwords and your brain goes soft. Features on the phone are very nice. Got to practice my Stylus now.

    I wanted to look for an updated phone experience at a reasonable price, and this has proven to be a great solution for me so far. I was daily driving the previous 5G Stylus, and was noticing that it was dragging a little bit, and just not giving me the experience I was looking for. I didn't want to give up the stylus option if I could help it, but I couldn't justify the cost of a flagship phone for my usage case. This has proven to be an excellent solution for me so far. It is slightly smaller than my previous phone, however I have found it to be plenty large enough, and I believe the display is enough of an improvement for me to not notice the slightly smaller size. Grippability is also a little better, though I did immediately add a case to it, as naked I found it to be rather slick and easy to lose hold of. The camera clarity was a sore point for me on the previous phone, and this is a solid upgrade from that experience. I honestly didn't expect to be going back to Motorola for my next phone, but the sale offering was too good to pass up, and I'm glad to say that I've been very happy with the experience so far.
