Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G | 2024 | Unlocked | Made for US 8/256GB | 50MP Camera | Caramel Latte | 2024, Unlocked, Made for US, 50MP Camera

I typically buy high-end Samsung phones and I decided to snag the 2025 Moto G Stylus as a backup insurance policy. Although the Motorola phone is a little thicker & heavier than its Samsung counterparts, it's also 4x cheaper. After using it for a few days, I have considered using it as my daily driver. The screen is surprisingly sharp, the fingerprint reader is excellent, band connectivity is exceptional, battery life is very good, and has a micro SD card. The one area that I wish was better is the camera, although good enough for most. I run the Nova launcher as my primary and also use the Niagara as a supplemental launcher and it's great. I do miss Samsung's calculator and phone apps, but Google's versions are good enough. If you need a phone that is very close to a Samsung S series, this Moto phone is it and at ¼ of the cost, it's worth giving a shot.

Great phone, very fast and smooth to use. Camera is clear and takes nice photos. Big storage and strong battery for all day. Stylus is useful and the color looks very nice.

This is a really solid budget smartphone. Out of many options I've tried over the years, I am confident that this phone is a amazing value for 250 USD. It is unlocked, display is lovely and bright enough for most cases. The speed of the processor is fast enough for all general tasks and light to mid level games, and the camera is acceptable for the price. The phone may have its draw backs for some individuals, such as less software updates or some people have ran into hardware issues... I recommend just paying for the cheap protection plan so that you can get it replaced or fixed if needed. In my own experiences ( I have owned 3 of these devices in different generations before this one... I've never had any major issues and have never needed the protection plan.) Overall I understand it may not be the best phone on the market but in feel you will be hard pressed to find a phone of this quality and functionality for 200-300 USD. I also just wanted to add for clarity, the software on this phone is really solid. In my opinion, it feels like everything is placed where it should be. You can customize and change settings with little fear of messing anything up. It also has the best gestures of any android phone company I've seen so far, besides maybe pixel. However, pixels for me have never worked out. I had multiple pixels that barely even could hold a Internet connection and so I said enough is enough to them for the next 10-20 years. I would highly recommend trying this device if you want a nice budget smartphone. I would not recommend it for individuals that expect amazing camera quality or intense gaming. Final Recommendations: If you purchase this phone, set it up, then download the app on google play called CPU X, It has a section in the app that allows you to double check hardware and software functions. (It runs tests to make sure buttons all work, speakers work, microphones are all good, etc etc. ) This could help you find any issues before the 30 day return period is up. If you don't have any major issues by then I can imagine the phone would last a good while for you. Rating: 8/10 Enjoy your phone. If you want higher quality ideas for a similar price, I recommend just picking up a Samsung galaxy A53, A54 because they are still within recent updates and can be found extremely cheap most online stores.

Just got this phone on 9/22/2024. Still checking it out. The first thing I noticed is that this phone came with very little instruction, which was a disappointment. However, I found an online manual on the Motorola website and I accidentally found another manual in PDF format on the Internet with the name "moto g stylus 5G.NA Retail.UG.en-US.SSC8D23433-A.pdf." You can do a Google search and download this manual for yourself. After doing a search for the PDF file mentioned above, you will find a listing named "moto g stylus 5G User Guide". That's it. You should study this manual and also understand that there are some differences between the information in the manual and the features of the phone. But the manual should help a lot. I experimented with photos because part of the reason I bought the phone is to take an important photo or do an important video if the need arose. I haven't spent much time on this yet, but I can tell you that I'm somewhat disappointed, but not surprised, with the quality of photos. I just did some videos and I'm still working on that, but videos can be done fairly well. You can plug this phone into your computer using a USB cable. It comes with a charging cable that has a C-size USB connection on both ends. This can be used with a USB wall charger, but they don't give you a USB cable for connecting to your computer, but I already had a USB cable for that. When you plug in your USB cable to connect to your computer, you will be asked what kind of USB connection you want. I choose "Photo and Video Transfer". Then you can use your phone like a disk drive. However, you should not try to play your videos directly from your phone. I suggest that you copy all the videos to a good fast drive on your computer and play them from there. I also advise that you should really use 60 frames per second for a smoother video. From what I can tell, a phone like this isn't really going to take the place of a good digital camera or a good camcorder, so don't expect to do that. But it does a fairly good job. The overall physical quality seems very good. The display is very sharp. The stylus works well and I use it most of the time because I have large fingers. Using a finger print as a security means works very well. The overall design of the software seems pretty good, but I urge you to download a manual for this phone because the overall complexity of the operating system. While charging the phone from my computer, I get a "slow charge" message. However, the phone will still charge from my computer. From a USB wall charger, I don't remember getting any slow charge message. You might consider that slow charging increases the life of most batteries, so maybe it's a good idea to charge from a computer, after all. I'll update this review after finding out more about this phone, if I remember to do so. 9/24/2024: Had a chance to test photos and videos. I think the quality of both is surprisingly good. I'm uploading a test photo that I think turned out very good. View this first with a viewer that fits the file to your screen. Then zoom in to 100%. The picture is perfect both ways. Notice how the dust shows up between the keys on my keyboard.

Phone is good, no complaints so far. Only issue I had was the Amazon driver who delivered it threw it to the front yard behind my car and left it there

This phone is amazing given it's cost. I really love the stylus.

Je l'aime bien sauf pour une chose: pas de voyant lumineux ou d'écran de verrouillage qui clignote de façon continue lorsqu'on a une notification. Alors, si on a pas entendu la notification originale, on ne saura pas qu'il y en a eu une. Par exemple mon Samsung a une led qui clignote et de différentes couleurs... jusqu'à ce que j'aie ouvert mon cell.

Todo funciona al 100%

All good
