    Moto, the phones of the future

    I love this phone so much, might become a Moto girlie over Samsung and IPhone tbh. I love being able to shake my phone to turn the light on, the speaker is literally better than my Samsung phone its so much louder on lower volume , theres also the ability to control different apps volume at the same time which is incredible! So you can watch a movie on split screen and play a game at the same time and not worry about hearing the game noise at all! Ive never seen a phone do that. You can also add an sd card which i love, Samsung and IPhone dont do those anymore and its so annoying but i love how Moto actually allows for that extra space and the headphone jack as a backup if i forget to charge my earbuds, literally incredible. The stylus feels nice, its not too light or too heavy but it has more heft than my note 9 stylis did and feels a bit more durable. I love the moto game play that tells you how your phones doing while gaming, it also allows fpr recording your gaming which is really cool, this would be a good phone if you like gaming. Im just so amazed with this phone, i originally got it so i can make my art on it with the stylus but its exceded my expectations in so many ways and its way cheaper too. I will say its not the best camera front quality if you are a content creator but other than that its an incredible phone, i have 2 phones so thats not an issue. I wish this phone brand wasnt so slept on, its just as good as iPhone and Samsung and honesty better in most ways outside of camera, definitely worth the money. Pros: ♡ incredible battery life ♡ sd card slot, i have 1t in right now ♡ stylus feels nice and sturdy ♡ moto gameplay ♡ loud speaker, louder than my note 9 was and louder than my z flip ♡ vibrant display ♡ volume adjustment for multiple apps at once ♡ lightweight ♡ headphone jack ♡ physical sim card slot Cons: ♡ camera is average quality ♡ not waterproof ♡ the finger print spot is really bright when opening your phone, idk it this can be changed or not but its only an issue when using your finger to unlock it I really dont have many cons, i love it so far!

    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.

    A Lotta For the Buck

    |

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My overall thoughts on the Moto G Stylus (2024) is that it's a good midrange phone (and an absolute steal when it's sold at $250). The leather back makes the phone feel more premium than it is and it comes with a slew of nice features that most higher end phones don't, like the SD card slot and headphone jack. I also think this phone has a nice mixture of software and hardware. On the software side, the custom Moto skin offers a lot of nice features including gestures to trigger the flashlight or camera and a desktop like tool called Smart Connect to offer a more desktop like experience that you can use on an external monitor. On the hardware side, you get a big and good looking display, the advertised stylus (which feels surprisingly premium), and an overall solid feeling device. The only gripes I have with this phone is that the software can be buggy at times (an examples includes the weather widget that comes installed on the phone not displaying correctly when you first turn your phone on) and the phone is set to only get one major Android upgrade. The stylus is also not the most responsive, especially if you're using a screen protector. With that being said, I would recommend the Moto G Stylus to anyone looking for a phone that offers a lot of bang for your buck.

    Value I've Ever Found!

    I absolutely love this phone! I picked up the Moto G Stylus 5G during a recent sale at Best Buy for an unbelievable price of $200, and honestly, it performs like a phone twice the cost. The first thing that blew me away was the battery life. I'm a heavy user lots of streaming, social media, and navigation and this 5000mAh battery easily gets me through a full day, often into the second morning, which is a game-changer. The built-in stylus is not a gimmick, it's genuinely useful for quick notes, signing documents, and precise editing on the large, bright screen. The display itself is fantastic for watching videos; everything looks crisp and the colors really pop. Performance is snappy and smooth. I haven't experienced any noticeable lag when switching between multiple apps, and my 5G connection has been reliably fast. Plus, having both a generous amount of internal storage AND an expandable SD card slot is a rare and huge win in today's market. If you're looking for a feature-packed smartphone that doesn't sacrifice performance, battery, or a headphone jack, this is the one. For the price I paid, it's easily the best phone deal of the year. Highly, highly recommended!

    I bought this same phone from a cell provider a year before buying this unlocked one from Best Buy. The prior one ended up essentially held hostage by that cell provider when I switched carriers, so this one was bought to replace that one since it was rendered unusable for a time. This is a very solid phone for the price, even at MSRP it offers very strong competition against more well-known brands and punches well above its weight class in my eyes. A proper VRR 120 Hz display with an OLED screen (which can suffer from minor burn-in over time, be aware), the stylus is handy even if I don't have many uses for it myself, the 8 gigs of RAM is nice for multitasking, and the processor helps support a very solid battery life too. It's not perfect, Motorola lacks many of its own apps so it relies on Google for its primary app suite. If you value your privacy to any extent, you'll know why this may be an issue. Naturally most privacy-centric users will opt for a Nothing phone or a device running Graphene, but for the layman that doesn't like Google's eye on them at all times this is something to be aware of. Motorola doesn't include a ton of bloatware on the device, but Glance does have a tendency to reinstall itself ad nauseum with no proper way to uninstall it permanently. Disabling the app in the settings still lets it run in the background, so the only way to really keep it from doing suspicious things in the background is to uninstall all updates and ignore it in the Google Play update queue every time you update your apps. It also includes a headphone jack, as any mobile device should.

    Really nice phone, fast pretty user friendly don't like some of the apps you can't uninstall. That get annoying & possibly running battery down. And is a distraction on lock screen. Plan to do something about that once I get use too it. It's gotta snapdragon processer that everyone says to get in this Motorola stylus. The little pencil that's easily stowed away and user friendly.This made some of my I phone friends envious ,wish they had one on theirs. It's especially great if you got wet hands all the time & not able to get touch screen to cooperate or have big clumsy fingers while texting or surfing the net. It comes with an lots cool A.I. assistant, and all the stuff people are loving and hating. I haven't went threw everything yet just kinda checked out everything and got a get the learning curves out of the way. If you can get a deal and don't like color don't worry phone cases change the look. They are hard to find but they are out there respect to spend $ 20.00 for case and about $2.00. - 5 for a screen protector at a phone store cheaper online if you don't want your screen to get scratches. Or broke. The Middle of the year 2024 of manufacturing the Motorola got Gorilla glass. A deciding factor because everyone I knew who had any model of Motorola dropped just one time cracked or shattered their screen and was very disappointed because they loved everything else about their phones. The stylus pen so far has been good at clicking and swiping not so much for writing text it seems to be really irritating for me when it comes to that because it takes your writing transforms it to text and so far that function hasn't worked out yet it constantly miss spells or does something random when I try to use it for a text box by writing with the stylus pen that comes with the phone. If you get one make sure you click the little pin all the way in and just clicks like a regular pin does at the top that locks it in or out. If you don't you will lose your phone stylus. I would recommend this phone it's worked great with all the apps I've put on so far or open. You can do multiple things at multiple times and still keeps up . There's also lots of storage . The phone is difficult sometimes to answer if you're doing something else on it the answer button just wants to disappear when you're trying to flick on it and click on it. Takes great pictures. Lots of cool and up-to-date software, apps. I really like it. It is a very capable phone so don't be fooled by it's price tag. Take your time and learn your phone if you get It's a new world when learning .Compared to other phones from the past. So get you one.

    iPhone user purchased this for an android user. Very nice android experience with this Motorola stylus 5G. Nice premium feeling phone. Build quality feels great! Transfer was smooth and easy. Transferred from 2021 Motorola stylus. Lots of nice upgrades. Screen is gorgeous! Nice and bright. Crisp and clear. Very smooth operation. 120hz refresh rate is very noticeable. Lots of apps and games are used on this and it really performs amazingly. I am surprised. Camera works really well imho. I’ve compared this with iPhone 14 Plus and this is a really nice phone that takes great pictures, performs very well and feels like premium build quality. It is not professional camera quality like some other super high priced phones but for every day users that want above average quality, this is a really nice option. Previous Moto stylus lasted till now (4 years) , still works but a little sluggish. Battery life is amazing! Wanted to stay with reliable phone so went with this upgraded Moto stylus. The android user this was for is extremely happy with this Moto g stylus 5g. In the vast options available for android phones, this Moto stylus is an excellent bang for your buck in my opinion.

    This is my second Motorola - moto g stylus. My first one was in 2020. I am satisfied with both units. There are enhancements in the 2024 unit that make usage even better. It has all the functions I need, yet at a good price compared to the pricey ones. The camera takes really good photos. Battery life is fantastic. A full charge serves a full day's need. Display quality is excellent. Overall, a thumbs up.
