  Can almost pass for a flagship phone

  My old Galaxy, which I managed to keep alive for 6+ years, finally got to the point where it could no longer be upgraded and was becoming incompatible with the apps that I use every day. It's been a great phone-- durable, very reliable, and just enough phone for someone like me.My needs are pretty modest. I don't game, film videos, or do anything very processor-intensive so I don't need a flagship phone. The only things I didn't like about my Galaxy was the modest amount of internal memory (only 64Gb), and the amount of Samsung bloatware that I couldn't shut off or get rid of.I didn't want to spend $800 on a phone, but I wanted to keep a lot of the features of my old Galaxy. Probably most important to me was an IP68 rating, because I've managed to dunk a few phones in my past and I still remember the days when that was a death sentence for them. I also wanted an SD card slot because I have a large collection of audiobooks and prefer to keep them on external storage. Aside from that, I wanted more internal storage than the measly 64Gb that my old Galaxy had. I use a lot of different apps, and I was always bumping up against the storage limit of my old phone.Finally, I really, REALLY wanted a 3.5mm audio jack. I have Bluetooth earbuds but I greatly prefer my $8 wired earbuds. They're inexpensive, they never need to be recharged, I won't lose a night of sleep if I lose or damage them, they fit my ears better than the wireless earbuds, and they're inexpensive enough that I can keep a spare pair in my bag in case I forget my daily-use set.A few phones fit the bill but the Moto line of phones had the best reviews, a very reasonable price, and up-to-date hardware and software. I settled on the Moto G Stylus as it had the best combination of features for my needs.Now that almost all our information is stored in the cloud (for better or for worse), switching to a new phone is very easy. After I switched my SIM card over, I was instructed to scan a QR code with my old phone. This initiated a transfer of all my info-- call logs, text history, etc. The process took a few minutes but was absolutely seamless.Over the next few days, I continued to set my phone up-- logging into apps, playing with different settings, etc. Just a few days into my ownership, I was prompted to upgrade to Android 16, which I did. The process went off without a hitch. From what I've read, I can expect longer battery life, something that I will evaluate in the next few days.Aside from that, the phone has been excellent so far. The screen is nicer than my ancient Galaxy, it runs all the apps that I use flawlessly, and it hasn't lagged or slowed down at all for me once I got everything set up and updated. I'm not exactly a power user, but I do use my phone a lot for many different tasks and so far everything is working well.Some people have complained about the camera quality. I've only snapped a few pics (and no video) but the quality has been pretty good, at least to my eye. I've examined the images on a computer screen and they are crisp and the colors are vibrant. The image quality is better on this phone than on some other more expensive phones that I've looked at in the past.I'm still trying to decide if I'll use the stylus or not. I don't take a lot of hand-written notes but that may change if the apps are intuitive and easy to use. Time will tell on that one.The phone has some included apps that I will probably never use, but nowhere near the bloat that Samsung was cramming into its phones even 6 years ago. I am NOT sorry to see the Bixby button and app gone for good. For those that have never owned a Samsung phone, Bixby is the name of the virtual assistant that is/was loaded onto each phone. On my old Galaxy, you'd summon Bixby using an extra button on the side of the phone. I never once used it but I'd accidentally hit that cursed button all the time, which would open up the Bixby screen while I was trying to do something else. Motorola doesn't do that so good riddance to Bixby.I was dreading the day I'd have to get a new phone because I'd have to start all over again with something that might not be as good as my old Samsung. That thing was an absolute soldier and worked well for a long time so the bar was pretty high. While the verdict is out on the Moto G until I put some more miles on it, it's off to a great start.Ver másVer menos

  Best Phone I've Had (and I've owned a lot of Moto's) -- Definitely the Current Bargain!

  I've been a rather loyal Motorola phone user. First of all, my first cellular phone (way back in the day) was Motorola, but I've also owned Moto/Motorola branded smartphones since the Nexus 6 (which was branded Google but was actually made by Motorola). After that phone's internal storage failed on me ( watch -- this will become a pattern), I bought a Moto G5S Plus. Then after 2 years when it's internal storage failed on me (told you -- pattern!), I bought first model Moto G Stylus. Then my first Stylus started showing the now familiar signs of failing internal storage (again after 2 years), I bought the Moto G Stylus 5G 2022. I admit that I probably could've continued using the original Moto G Stylus for a while longer (maybe?), but I also really wanted 5G capability, so when the original Stylus first started slowing down, I just went ahead and bought the then current 5G Stylus model. That was 3 years ago, and just recently (much to my surprise), my Moto G Stylus 5G 2022 started showing signs of a failing battery. Yes, I could've just replaced the battery, but the phone was already 3 years old and I had been watching it carefully for the past year for any sign of the familiar internal storage failure. I just didn't think it was worth the time/trouble to replace the battery only for the internal storage to likely fail sometime soon. So, I decided to move on to the Moto G Stylus 2025.The Positives:And...WOW. Very significant, obvious upgrade! I think everything on the phone is a big improvement over the Stylus 2022 model. The phone is much faster with the newer higher end processor, the cameras are much better quality (as is the improved Moto Camera app, which...sorry...has previously just been useless), the stylus features/apps are much nicer, love the fingerprint sensor being in the screen rather than on the power button, the screen seems much brighter with better refresh (even though I think its technically the same), love the faster wifi with Wifi6, love the newer Bluetooth, and I really like that Moto has kept the headphone jack and expandable storage. The rest of the improvements are mostly due to the OS upgrade, but you can't really disregard those when the older Stylus isn't receiving anymore OS upgrades.The new cameras are just superb in comparison to the Stylus 2022, and I really liked the Stylus 2022 cameras. I've always used GCam ports (specifically BSG MGC) with my Stylus 2022, which is why I always got the great photos that I did. The Moto Camera 3 app was actually just lousy. It used to take a decent enough photo, but then the post processing would pixelize and blotch up the image. The new Moto Camera 5 app actually works a lot like the Google Camera (GCam) and actually enhances the photo in post processing rather than ruining it. I still installed GCam port and sometimes use it, but for most photos I just use the Moto Camera 5 app.So far the battery life has been great, but so was all my Moto cameras, so there's no real surprise there.I was a little disappointed in the lack of color choices of the Moto G Stylus 2025, and I especially miss the seafoam green of my Moto G Stylus 5G 2022 (which I wasn't tired of at all), but I've actually really come to like the purple-ish blue color of "Surf the Net" (whatever that's supposed to mean), and I've put it in a clear case like I did my Stylus 2022 to show off the color.More a matter of market timing than anything else, but it's also nice that this time around I actually found that 1TB microSD cards are now reasonably priced, about as much as the 512GB ones were back when I bought the Stylus 2022. So, now I have a phone with 1,256GB of storage for around $460 total. You're definitely not going to be able to find a Samsung or Apple phone model with that much storage (and all these features) for that low of a price. Moto is definitely the best thing going in bargains.The Negatives:Most of these aren't true negatives, and are actually more like situational issues for me, personally. First of all, I don't like the new Gemini AI. I was able to easily avoid it when Google offered it as a software upgrade in my last phone, but it's built-in to this one's ROM. It took several tries, but I think I've finally turned it off in most areas of my phone and I'm almost entirely back on the good ol' reliable Google Assistant. I'm sure eventually I will only be offered Gemini.Another personal negative is that apparently this phone is now entirely 64-bit so I ended up losing several of my favorite 32-bit apps. One of them is PicSay Pro photo editor, which is hands-down the best Android photo editor available even though it hasn't had an update or even supported for over a decade. It was removed from Chromebook when it was finally removed from the Google Play Store as unsupported, but it wasn't removed from my phone until I tried to upgrade to this phone and migrate all data and apps. Even so, I tried the backup/restore method to move an old app and it didn't work, citing that the app is not compatible with my phone. The problem is that there is no other photo editor that even comes close to this decade old unsupported app, which is truly pathetic. Fortunately, the latest version of Google Photos that came with the new OS on this new phone, at least has most of PicSay Pro's features, but still not all of them. And no, Snapseed doesn't have it all either. Oh, well.There are other little issues, too, like for whatever reason Moto decided to copy Apple and have the usual power button changed into a multi-function button that does everything except power on/off the phone. That's pretty annoying considering the main reason I'm sticking with Moto is because it's not typically going the way of Apple, Samsung, and Google.Summary:Definitely the best phone I've ever owned, and even though I've liked all my Moto phones, I thought that was never going to happen again after the Nexus 6. The positives far outweigh any negatives (if there are any legit negatives that would matter to anyone except me), and Moto has definitely brought the Stylus way into the realm of a flagship more than a mid-class phone. With how Samsung and Google went completely Apple-esque with having no expandable memory, no headphone jack, and a ridiculous high pricetag, the market for me has now ceased to be a question of Android vs. iOS, and it's now Moto vs everything else. For now, I'm very happy sticking with Moto.

  Really good phone, minimal gimmicks

  I bought this recently to replace an aging Moto G7 Power (circa 2018?). I needed this to be my go-to main device to do most things on. I didn't want a top-of-the-line flagship phone, because they usually have gimmicks that are of limited use to me (like folding screens). But I still needed a fairly decent spec'd phone to handle everything that I wanted.Having had Motorola and Samsung phones before, I knew that the Motorola would likely closer to pure Android, since Samsung likes to push its One UI on top of everything. There is still some pre-installed 'bloatware' that Motorola packages with it, but it's really straightforward to remove/uninstall the majority. A few Moto apps could only be disable, but that's just as good.The main specs for me is that it needed to have storage capacity (my old Moto had long hit its limit), needed to be 5G, needed to be unlocked, and needed good battery life.My past experience with Moto has been that their batteries tend to be better than average life. This one is no exception - I went 3 days without a charge and light use, and on a day of heavy use I still had ~60% at the end of the day.Back to the storage capacity, the 256GB is plenty of room for apps. AND, Motorola still includes a microSD slot to add up to 1TB. That built-in storage has the option to enhance memory performance too by allowing up 8GB to be used as RAM. That's adjustable too in 2GB increments.One real nice to have is that Motorola finally came around to including NFC and wireless charging in its devices. That was the final kicker for me that pushed me to get this. Part of the problem with my old phone is that the charging port was worn and wouldn't always charge unless positioned a certain way. So, wireless charging is a nicer, more durable feature for me.It's running the latest Android 14 and immediately asked to update to the latest patch after initializing.As for that initializing, Google has really gotten Android to be nearly seamless when migrating devices. When it came up the first time, it told me what to do with the old phone - basically just turn on bluetooth and scan a QR code. It asked a few questions of what I wanted to carry over, then it took it all from there. When it was done and up and running, it had my wallpapers and ringtones and a bunch of other settings that came from my old phone. It made adjusting to a new device pretty easy. The only thing I did have to do is remove the unwanted apps that are included, like I mentioned before. It's now a smoother, more capable version of what my old phone no longer was.The display is nice, clear, and bright. It's actually really good resolution, I had to get a magnifying glass just to see what is the pixel size. It's bright enough to still see in the sun, and goes dim enough for at night.The camera is good for a phone camera. I'm still a dedicated DSLR guy for high quality images. But this does a fairly good job for the usual everyday photos. The one rear camera is rated at 50MP, but there is is small caveat to that. It uses all those pixels in groups to generate a combined 'better' pixel. This comes out to an effective resolution of around 13MP, which is still more than enough for most needs. And with that pixel arrangement, the image processing can do things like better digital zoom, and image stabilization. There is optical image stabilization too. All-in-all, this does make for fewer blurry picture. The camera app itself covers all the bases for different needs, include night and action shots. A nice-to-have in the app is the option to go full manual control, which the photog in me really appreciates. It's not a full standalone camera, but I can get it to do what I want rather easily.Lastly, there is one thing about this particular phone that I would categorize as a slight gimmick, and that's the stylus. Don't get me wrong, it is nicely integrated into the body so it's out of the way. I just have never had the need for a stylus on a phone. For someone needing the finer point of a stylus, I can see it having a purpose for them. Who knows, I'll give it a try now and then, and see if I pick up to it.Overall, I am extremely happy with this. I does what I need, and then some. It's not a flagship phone, but it's definitely on the higher side of the mid-level category.

  Great Upgrade with a small glitch

  256GB memory, NFC and Android 16 upgrade, unlocked, eSim, 5G, quick charge, what's not to like. Phone is a little smaller than the moto stylus model it replaces. Phone is quick and stylus feature is a life saver for those small online boxes. Tested on Verizon -tracfone.Transfer of phone number was easy and eSim activation worked perfectly. On screen finger print works and full charge lasts more than a day The only downside of the phone is moto push of it's Glance App which can't be uninstalled. It produces annoying on screen news and sports clutter when phone is locked.Also the phone has a tendency to have wifi problems sometimes when moving from one WiFi signal to another. It shows connected but it's not unless you turn off the Wi-Fi and then turn it back on again. Very annoying. Loses one star for this problem but overall a recommended phone.Ver másVer menos

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

  The Motorola moto G Stylus 5G 2024, Unlocked, Made for US, 8/256GB, 50MP Camera, Caramel Latte is a fantastic device.This was purchased for my mother, to replace a previous device that was beginning to have serious problems.After getting everything transferred from her old failing device and setting it up with all of the current updates, it looks exactly like what she is used to seeing.With HUGE differences:1. It is incredibly quick.2. Everything is functional.3. Screen inputs are precise, and touch sensitive.The value is superb. Not only does it include a built-in stylus, it comes with myriad other hardware features typically found collectively on devices costing $1,000+.I like that it includes 256GB of internal storage, 8GB of System RAM, and support for an additional 2TB of external SD Card storage.Does it have the processing power and photographic hardware found in the top-tier Samsung or Apple devices? No it does not.However, at a cost of less than 25% of those devices, it provides a majority of the same features and functions. In one instance, the 3.5mm stereo/mic jack that the moto G Stylus G 5G 2024 provides something that the top Apple devices do not.Surprisingly, the moto has top-tier display technology: pOLED 2.5D glass, 10-bit, Over one billion shades of color, DCI-P3 color space.

  Amazing best phone I've bought so far

  EXCELLENT! I'm usually always happy when I have a Motorola phone. You guys outdid yourself with this one. Way more affordable then most phones, I couldn't find one that had great perks for cheaper that wasn't used. The stylus is nice and hefty, good quality you can tell it's better material then usual stylus. Love LOVE the material for the back of the phone, such a unique look. I'm blown away, this phone is excellent I love the minimalism and the unique customization, along with I can mute the phone just by pressing side of the screen with volume. The responsiveness of the screen is very very good! I'd say excellent this is also an unlocked phone I use Tello network. The features are so unique on here. Great job with this phone y'all, please keep making phones this unique and affordable. Thank you for not overcharging for a phoneVer másVer menos
