One of the best midrange phones I have owned. I find myself using it over my more expensive phones I have in my rotation. Having a head phone jack and Memory slot is as welcome back to features missing from high end phones. The screen is amazing and the battery life is amazing. Speaker's are more than adequate. Stylus is added bonus if you like to use one. Processor is okay, but if you are using it for everyday use, It will great. No power brick is a minus, but there all doing that for the most part. If you want a flagship phone, it's not at that level. It is definitely worth the purchase considering I got it for 249 over the 399 asking price. I have the 256 version and a 512 SD card. Great for movies and pictures. I highly recommend this phone. Hard to go wrong.

Your recommendation is highly appreciated, AnthonyJ! It’s great to hear how much you’re enjoying the phone, especially the headphone jack and memory slot—features that many of us miss on high-end models. The amazing screen, battery life, and stylus definitely make it stand out. While it may not compete with flagship specs, it’s awesome that it fits your needs so well, especially at that price point.

Great Phone with a Great Camera and Battery Life

I upgraded to the Moto G Stylus 5G with 256GB (the red one) a few weeks ago from a 32GB Moto E 2020, so it had huge improvements in every area. Having a lot more storage is nice because I couldn't really install that many apps on my previous phone, even just the essential ones.
The vegan leather exterior is interesting, but I wasn't a fan of how it feels to hold, so I eventually got a case for it. The length of the phone is also a little narrower than I'd like to comfortably hold the phone in landscape mode for long periods of time. I haven't used the stylus as much as I've expected, but it works well. (The front and the back pictures of this phone were taken with a friend's Pixel 6 camera.
My favorite upgrade this phone has from my old one is its camera. The back camera pictures are very crisp, and there's lots of adjustment options and modes in the camera app. The front camera isn't as crisp as the back camera, but it still takes some nice pictures. (I didn't feel like attaching selfies to this review, so I used some Metamucil instead. The first picture is the back camera, and the second picture is the front camera.)
I'm sure as this phone gets older its battery life will shorten, but for now, it's strong enough that I don't have to plug it in every day. It doesn't get too hot either, except when I'm running a lot of apps at the same time or if I'm using the Smart Connect feature to a TV.
Overall, as a person who doesn't use my phone too heavily, I think it's a great phone for the price point.
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review, CJmoto99. We're thrilled to hear that your upgrade to the Moto G Stylus 5G has made a big difference for you, especially with storage, camera quality, and battery life. It’s great to know the camera features are helping you capture crisp and vibrant shots, and that you're enjoying the performance overall. We appreciate your honest thoughts on the design and comfort.

The phone itself is really good. I use it for social media/internet only and it's not attached to a phone number so I cannot tell you about the call quality. For me the battery life is roughly 48 hours on a charge with continuous usage. I took a trip and wanted to catch the sunrise so I placed the phone in the hotel window and went to sleep. I woke up the next morning and it was still recording with enough life left for me to go sightseeing as well. I love the camera and all of the different functions that come along with it. The pictures are very clear and the color adjustments really enhance the images. The Stylus is the reason I purchased this phone. It is not as responsive or seamless as the galaxy notes but works well and has screen write and create features. The phone comes with some unnecessary bloatware. It has a recorder, headphone jack, and SD card slot. If only it had a built in MP3 player. Because I am clumsy I drop the phone a lot. I recommend a case with a sliding cover for the rear facing camera.

Motorola in the past four years has stepped up their game when it comes to producing quality phones. This phone is a prime example. The stylus 5g shows that you can have the features of an iPhone and flagship phone for less money. This phone offers more features than my iPhone 15 i switched from. The internal storage combined with a 3.5mm jack, and expandable memory automatically produces more value and quality than Apple for less than half the price NEW. The camera is not as bad or limited as other reviews are implying. The camera takes equal photos to that found in iPhones ranging from the 11 to the 16. Most people forget that apple photos are altered and adjusted heavily with AI features. The macro lens on this phone is beyond adequate enough. The phone supports wireless charging, had 50 mega pixel photo quality, supports rapid charge, has internal and expandable storage, equal RAM to a newer iPhone, etc. The list goes on. The specs dont lie. If you are on a budget, this is hands down one of the best choices you can make. Dont soend $600 for a premium downgraded phone.

Best Moto Stylus phone, and a great phone overall

I think this is the best Moto G stylus phone they've come out with. I've used Moto G Stylus phones in the past and thought they were good but never where I was too impressed. Before I got this one I was using a Samsung Galaxy A54 for awhile now and after I started using this I liked it better. I feel like it performs better than my Samsung and looks nicer. The screen is so nice and has little bezels. I also can see it outside in the sun a lot better than before. The fingerprint sensor is one of the best I've ever used that wasn't on a flagship phonr and I also thought it worked better than my Pixel 6a I used to have and also my A54's. The cameras on here really surprised me. I thought the pictures I took were really good, maybe not the quality as an S24 or Pixel but pretty close. I thought video taking looked good, almost like my Samsung just depends how lighting conditions are. I gave this phone all stars because of how much they improved this out of all the Moto G Stylus phones. This is definitely a phone to look at if you're a fan of the stylus phone or Samsung Notes and you don't need the best camera and you're not a heavy gamer this is a good phone. But I took several pictures in low light and I was so impressed how it did I had to show them. But definitely give this phone a look. It might work just as good for you as any other phone.
Thank you so much for sharing your detailed experience with the Moto G Stylus, JamesStee!

I bought this phone as a little computer, with a stylus and to store extra photos in....but may just become my main phone sooner! Huge expandable memory and Gig. All for $249.
So far everything working, love the feel of the stylus. Nice clear screen. Super fast.
Recomend: Add your own editing app as well as a photo file app and even some other cameras for astrophotography (long exposure)
But this photo I got with Camera that came with phone!

Wow! Just wow! Been a Motorola fan since the old Moto X days, but I've passed on a lot of their recent flagships because I hate curved screens. Took a chance on this guy because the hardware looked amazing and it does not disappoint. Beautiful FLAT screen, amazing battery life, and great performance from an older chipset. I'm not sure I'll ever use the stylus, but everything else about this phone is scratching me right where I itch. Highly recommend.

I’ve been using the Moto G Stylus 5G 2024, and I’m really happy with it so far. One of my favorite features is the wireless charging—it’s so convenient to just set it down to charge without plugging it in. The battery lasts all day, so I never have to worry about running out of power.
The screen is a big highlight. It’s large, clear, colorful, and really smooth to use. Even with the big screen, the phone feels lightweight and comfortable to hold, which I love.
It’s also really fast. Apps run smoothly, and everything feels snappy when I’m switching between tasks or just scrolling. The stylus is super handy for jotting down notes or doodling, and it works really well.
The cameras take nice, sharp photos and handle group shots or wide angles easily. They’re not the absolute best, but they get the job done and work great for everyday use.
I also love that the phone has tap-to-pay—it’s so convenient and something I use all the time.
Overall, the Moto G Stylus 5G 2024 is a great phone. It’s lightweight, fast, and has a fantastic screen. The added features like wireless charging and tap-to-pay make it even better. For the price, I think it’s a solid choice!

Great tactile feel, premium feel and look to the materials, and a very snappy response to inputs. I got tired of my stagnant iPhone 15 so I got this Moto G Stylus 5G - 2024. App response and load time is surprisingly comparable. Webpage load times are similar, but iPhone does have an edge. The camera of the Moto device is quite good- exceptional if you consider how little of an improvement the iPhone 15 is for the added cost. Motorola devices seem to be inching up in quality and fit-and-finish with the software each year. I am really impressed by the high value of this device. It even includes optical image stabilization for motion photos, NFC for tap to pay, and wireless charging. This is legitimately 9/10ths of the experience of an iPhone but at 1/3 the cost. There are obviously operating system differences, but comparing function to function leaves me really impressed.
