Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) - Hands On & First Impressions!

[@cakethefox]

This phone is insane everything about it is amazing, we got headphone jack and SD card support...and amazing theme, android 14 .....I just got mine last week in best buy.

[@5150crazyfun]

How is the call quality on this phone? I'm considering it as the Moto G play 2024 I have is horrible on calls. If it's good on calls I love everything else on it and would likely get it.

[@cakethefox]

@@5150crazyfun yeah dude go for it, the quality cool and the display too this phone is better than moto g play in everything. Trust me

[@BusymanXD]

@@5150crazyfun it is better. It uses a Qualcomm modem instead of Mediatek

[@EconomyisFine-oe1se]

It's junk because the display is not that good. Only if it had a better display than the phone would be totally awesome that's the most important thing to me is how clear the display is battery life. I at least want a minimum of 4K. If that's asking too much then I don't know what to say

[@UwUAveythyst]

​@@EconomyisFine-oe1sewho needs a 4k display on a phone?

[@themockman]

I've had this phone 2 weeks almost and it's great

[@Demonsta]

Why is it tech reviewers never know what to do with a stylus? Is it really there just for navigation? You dont think people might want to know about the tracking or latency? Can this feature be used for sketching or is it limited to crude note taking? Will your notes be clear or look like a toddler wrote them? What about handwriting recognition? This is the main feature of the phone, these things are important!! I hope you will keep this in mind for reviews of future stylus devices.

[@RabihSaadguitars]

Beyond a good phone for the money . I would put it in the lower Flagship phones category and not a midranger. Folks complaining about the one android upgrade but they are forgetting that its getting a 3 year security upgrades which is more important then the Android upgrades.

[@brianvickers2792]

Motorola's budget and midrange phone designs are top notch. Much better than comparable phones from other OEMs. The hardware typically runs smoothly and the displays are sharp. Just wish their software support was more consistent. It's frustrating .

[@jedolivier2688]

Yeah, at least even 2 years would be acceptable.😅

[@brianvickers2792]

@@jedolivier2688 The amount of OS updates offered could be better. But, it takes Motorola so long to release one the device would likely be at the end of life before they all rolled out. Even support for flagship phones is sketchy.

[@EconomyisFine-oe1se]

I wish the display was at least 4K.

[@georgebunch8691]

I bought one a few weeks ago at Spectrum for $249. So far so good! I like the specs and it is definitely an upgrade from my TCL stylus 5G. I am disappointed that it will only get one system upgrade and that there was no charger included. Other than that, no complaints. Great review! Since I have fat fingers, I like the stylus. I also like the stereo speakers that give the phone a more immersive sound.

[@wgwrigel1]

i too have spectrum and considering this phone, i have an old Iphone SE 2020 so its showing its age, spectrum wants $20 + for the newer iphones for 3 years, its crazy and the new SE 4 wont be out for a year, at $250 i might try android for a year, the spectrum guy said the moto Edge 2024 is coming too and moto might have some deals on spectrum in the coming weeks, ill see

[@georgebunch8691]

@@wgwrigel1 The stylus was one of the compelling features of this phone. I have fat fingers, so a stylus is handy--and necessary--for navigating on a phone keyboard. The stereo speakers are a nice feature as well, giving the phone an immersive sound.

[@wgwrigel1]

@@georgebunch8691 i really like head phone jack, im kinda old school ha

[@awesomehawk4536]

I like that it has wireless charging

[@donbraugh185]

Good one. Please review the Moto G 2024. I like the Vegan leather

[@EdJames-j9p]

I would have to say this display looks the best out of all budget and mid range phones.

[@johndrippergaming]

does the stylus work on other phones or tablet? also how responsive is it does it skip lines while writing or drawing?

[@TjBlackbeanz]

Yes the stylus will work on any touchscreen

[@MRJLS15]

I always appreciate Motorola designs and such 😊

[@artistboat]

I'm probably alone in not caring about software updates. I've had many phone updates that just cause my phone to crash, remove features i enjoy, makes apps more buggy. I think that's a me issue but I prefer not having updates. Especially since you don't even get the option anymore. They force you to update phones now.

[@Thedesertguy75]

The fact that you get a headphone jack is AWESOME!!

[@5150crazyfun]

This looks like an amazing phone for the price. You get so much value for less. If the call quality is good I'm considering this phone. Because Straight Talk has it for $199 and Visible has it for $260. At that price it's a deal worth getting.

[@abdiel7292]

Motorola phones are killing it. This is what midrange should be Not like that Korea cash grab of company

[@TjBlackbeanz]

I bought this phone twice. It's easily in my top 5 favorite phones ever. Yes it's not the best camera or processor or display but dollar for dollar, this phone is a beast. I'm using it right now. I love everything about it.

[@EdJames-j9p]

And i want to add that its the phone im currently using and i love it.

[@TjBlackbeanz]

Me too❤

[@mingkee27]

It's my new favorite after One Ace Hint: display is same size as One Ace and Edge+ 2022 Turn page file (RAM boost) off to preserve NAND On speaker Dolby, use Music and Brilliant Treble for best possible sound Regular 18 watts PD charger works

[@icekitty15]

Looks like I may want to get this phone.

[@TjBlackbeanz]

Do it, this phone is amazing

[@ManSC21]

Great video Kevin! I really like the G Stylus 2024. The colors,specs,in screen fingerprint,and a built in stylus pen💯

[@Terranwilliamson1745]

I use a motorola 20 watt turbo charger for my Moto g stylus 5g 2024 and it charges beyond fast😎💯

[@DanOlivadoti]

It can handle up to 30 watt charging. Get one of those bricks and watch this baby really juice up fast!

[@achilles1373]

I've had mine for a month. Love it tbh. Moto features are nice. Tomahawk that guy for the flashlight and shake it for the camera. Super fast and easy. I use the stylus to write down machine numbers at work. It has replaced my pen and notepad. Overall I like it. SD card and 3.5mm. I use those still. It feels quality. Overall it nice and if Motorola would get away from the curved screen on their flagship then I've give it a go bc of Moto features alone. Works great for me as a maintenance tech. I'm glad I chose this over an A series Samsung... Coming from an A71 5g which was great until they killed it with updates.

[@bernadettepalmeira6728]

I heard theres something wrong with the gallary with the photo albums and is this a good phone for gaming? I do a lot of gaming.

[@TjBlackbeanz]

Yes it's good for gaming. I'm constantly playing cod mobile, honkai star rail, Diablo immortal and things like that. No lag, responsive, etc. it's one of my top 5 favorite phones. I'd take this over an iPhone 10 times out of 10. Get it u won't be sorry.

[@jimmytapafini5378]

Question please, I'm watching movies on Hulu and peacock etc. It's not showing full screen. How do I change this setting to watch a movie full screen??

[@unspacelaw]

Pinch to zoom

[@sluggodna]

I just bought the moto g 5G 2023. It's not bad. 5000mah battery doesn't last as long as I thought. . I should have got the stylus.

[@DanOlivadoti]

This has the same battery, so I don't think you would've seen much of a difference. I'm sure you already know this, but if you just got the phone, it takes quite a while for everything to index and also for it to learn your habits so it can adjust the power accordingly through your day to day. You really can't accurately judge a phone's battery life until at least a week or so.

[@sluggodna]

@@DanOlivadoti I had the phone for a week while I noticed the battery issue. I charged my phone to full at 8pm last night. I have barely touched it all this morning. It's already down to 35% . I have had a DeWalt 5amp 100w wall charger for a while. I bought this phone because I had to change my Galaxy A32 twice a day. I think it might be the wall charger? But, that is interesting the phone learns my habits. . Update: my power bank turned off when I plugged it into my DeWalt wall charger. It will charge off a 30w 0.9 amp. . In fact, could you do a video about the correct charge for each phone. The T-Mobile guy said my Galaxy has a recommended Wall charger.

[@JazivelHD]

Thanks for keeping it simple! I've had to use the mediocre Galaxy S21+ for a while and now it's starting to break and I miss having basic necessities like the micro SD. I'm prob gonna get this.

[@greplink]

Mediocre s21+? Lol wut r u talking about? You are going from a flagship phone to a budget.

[@kingyuonobryant1416]

Does this phone work with a wireless charger

[@pappysheart6710]

Yes and at 15W apparently

[@georgebunch8691]

As a new owner of this phone, the only 2 drawbacks that I can see are just one system upgrade and no charger in the packaging box.

[@CinHalCedHerChance]

I had the iPhone 14 and it got messed up so I switch to this phone and it's a very good android ❤. Now I have the iPhone 15 plus but still finding it hard to let go of this phone now hehe...so I'll keep it as a back up. The camera is good and it's fast

[@DarinMartin-cd2qg]

I can’t decide between this or the Revvl 7 Pro. I don't see myself using the Stylus but the specs are about the same. Both have stereo speakers and headphones jack. Camera for Revvl has bad reviews.

Do not get the revvl 7 pro... It lags and the camera is horrible. I have both and the Motorola is wayyyyyyy better❤

[@johnszatkowski6898]

The MAJOR issue with Motorola is updates and bloatware. They only support a phone for a VERY short life which can leave you vulnerable to attacks very quickly. Their interface LACKS quite a bit and misses ALOT of features available on other phones in this range. IMO if it was me I would much rather go with a Samsung A35 which offers everything here PLUS AI features, UI customization up the wazoo, and dedicated updates/support for FOUR years. The stylus does NOT really give this phone much to offer either and can really get along without it. The cameras offered here in a true breakdown are NOT that good and are NOT good in low light. If Photos/videos are your thing then look into a Pixel 8A or again the Samsung A35 as both will BLOW this phone away in speed, quality, and YEARS of updates that Motorola just LACKS and always has. I would spend just a little extra to gain the speed, quality, and UPDATES!

[@alontewells9324]

meanwhile Samsung updates are making your phone slower and bug friendly overtime furthermore making you in invest in a newer phone alot sooner than later

The overwhelming majority of reviewers, both amateur and professionals, are raving about the display in particular on this phone, so you're clearly in the minority. Have you actually purchased and used one of these? Please tell us how a Full HD OLED display is "blurry". The panel on this device is crystal clear. One of the best I've ever seen on any any mid-ranger.
