your right cameras usually suck on mid rangers and as a rule little to no updates. but for basics they work great. just don't compare it to more expensive phones.

Compairing from the same year of course you would expect a premium phone to be quicker. But I think it would be reasonable to think that a half price phones would be better in some aspects than a 4 year old iphone for example.

Some reviews say the Stylus 2024 isn't too far off camera quality with pixel phones but the pixel 8A's smaller screen is the main negative for me, guess I'm just used to having 6.7 / 6.8" phones over the past several years so a smaller screen would feel like a pretty big downgrade.
@bricequirl4 ай бұрын
One major point missed when comparing these two particular phones is storage. The $499 price point for the GP8a only includes 128 GB -- which I feel simply isn't enough, especially for this phone. Shutter bugs are most attracted to this device because of its camera. But after three years of pictures & vids, 128 GB isn't going to cut it. Ironically, for the price tag of $399 the Moto Stylus comes w/ 256 GB; but you could get away w/ only 128 GB, because you have SD expandable memory. SD cards are so convenient for storing pictures & vids. P.S. Hey Google, how about you give up pushing 128 GB storage as the base config? Just give us 256 GB. I'm never going to become a Google One subscriber, especially when such tactics are blatantly obvious.
@StevealiciousTech4 ай бұрын
Yep, it is definitely an advantage to have the on-device extra storage. That's what they are trying to do. I hated when they took away the full image quality storage for the life of the phone.
@bengoey4 ай бұрын
I think nowadays 256GB should be a standard. I bet it is not much more expensive to give us 256 GB as the base for a manufacturer, just don't charge us £100 or $100 like Apple does.

Moto G Stylus 128GB is $259 without discounts on the carriers. The 256GB is the unlocked version. at $399. The Pixel 8A is double the price for the 128GB version.

@naptime43x2 ай бұрын
im glad you did this comparison because these are 2 of the finalist i am looking at for a new phone. for me it comes down to price, the Pixel 8a looks awesome and has a $50 discount right now, but its still $450, while Moto G Stylus is $350 now, and since I already have a motorola, I get another nearly $100 off, making it around $250, a $200 difference. Google gives $0 for my trade in. The lack of software support and updates is unfortunate, but I was using a motox4 for a long time, and even though it hadnt updated in many years, it still worked perfectly fine. Only when apps started requiring newer versions of Android did I get something else. Whatever the back is made of is irrelevant for me, since I always use a case anyways. Google is a bit AI intense for me, but maybe in the future I will be more accustomed to it, but for now not really interested. The camera might be a lot better in the Pixel, but I have been happy with motorola in general, maybe its a case of you cant miss what you never had. Another thing is the Motorola phones uses 'glass' for the screen that is not very durable, whereas the 8a uses gorilla glass which i think is more durable. Personally I like the plastic, the phones are generally lighter and tend to 'bounce' instead of break when dropped I would probably go with the Pixel, but the Stylus being $200 less is probably going to be the deciding factor. In theory I could afford to replace it again next year, and the OS updates being limited wouldnt really matter as much. thanks again for the review, i enjoyed seeing a side by side comparison of size and features.

I think Motorola has a market strategy: Sell a good phone cheap enough for their customers to justify buying a new one every year. Unlike the junky Samsung A- Series the Stylus 5G actually is a decent device (minus the updates) its also cheap enough for you to want a new one by the time the Stylus 5G 2025 model comes out.
