Ive had the phone for a week. I came from samsung s21fe. good phone. Pixel 6 Pro.. Nice also. This phone is great for most people. If you are just surfing the web, emails, texts, camera is pretty good. It is going to please most people. sites opens websites as fast as my 2 other phones and in some cases faster. It is worth the purchase. I dont use the pen much but it is very nice to have. Regular people will get a light weight phone that is pretty darn fast.. I don't think most will be disappointed. 1 year to android 15 is plenty imho. Updates these days are minimal. If you want great AI then go with Pixel or Samsung for sure at this point. I dont really care about AI features that much. Just a regular person wanting a lighter weight phone and not carrying a brick in my pocket all day..

[@angelasarvis9580]

I’m still rocking a 2020 moto g stylus because it has everything I require of a phone and Motorola abandoned all the things since the 2020 model - until this 2024 stylus phone. My requirements are simple - I want a snapdragon processor, a stylus and a 3.5 mm headphone jack at a reasonable price and I’m glad that after 4 years Motorola has given that to me again and I can upgrade from my 2020 to this 2024 stylus phone!

[@TechOdyssey]

Nice. Hope you enjoy the new one!

[@pneuma6421]

The amoled screen alone is worth upgrading to this

[@CinHalCedHerChance]

@@pneuma6421 The faux leather back is reason alone is reason not to upgrade. Any leather period over time is terrible, it's going to show signs of wear and in this case, it can rip and eventually will flake and there's nothing you can do about it except put a case over it, which will just turn it into a bigger heavier brick. They should have used plastic or glass, not this, terrible idea.

@@robbiepayne97 The backing is absolutely terrible. What were they thinking with that "faux leather" (any leather period is terrible over time), it can rip and eventually flakes. I got this phone and after a couple of days usage in my pouch, it must have snagged somehow on the camera bump area and there's a tiny tear there now. I put a case on it and now it's a big heavy brick. Terrible idea with the back, I would have been happier with a plastic or glass, but this in a few months everyone will complain about the dirtiness of it, it'll either rip and eventually it will start to flake over time. May return mine still.

[@Tundra_Guy]

How was it?

[@CinHalCedHerChance]

@@Tundra_Guy battery drains FAST, it's a brick once you put a case on it and the novelty of the stylus wears off fast. Order, and if you find the same thing, return it within their 14 day return period. But I am not lying about the battery drain, I hate it.

[@5150crazyfun]

Motorola has always been my favorite android brand because of the Moto actions, peek display and useful features. Then battery life is very well optimized on Motorola phones. They are finally improving the build quality, display and slowly their cameras. I’d say easily the G stylus 5g 2024 is the best phone Motorola has made in years especially for $399.

[@kevinnelson7070]

This one doesn't have peek display like the last one though

I have purchased the 2024 stylus. So far I find the pHone to be a good buy for what i get. I fine your reviews to be helpful and informable. This phone will be used as my work phone. I am looking to purchase the Motorola Edge 2024. I am still investigating this phone to see if it will make a good personal phone. I like Motorola phones in general because they offer a good product, at reason able prices. I agree that the support could be better, but I tend to buy 2 new phones every 2 years.

[@bassmaker4real197]

To get good sound on the Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G 2024 go to Dolby Atmos settings set it to custom settings and move every bar up to high and turn on surround sound effect

I got one about 2 weeks ago for $199. Awesome deal for this phone. Does everything i want it to. Headphones jack 8GB of RAM with power boost with an additional 8GB of RAM 1080P Display Android 14 Plenty of storage Excellent camera once you tweak it. Im very pleased with it.

[@benjamintriplett3]

I'm thinking about getting this. I had the moto Stylus 22 and the battery life was amazing.

[@drmoynihan]

I have had mine for 5 days. It is not a replacement for my Samsung S10, but it does have headphone jack & expandable memory which newer s24 don't. I do like the fast pbone, OK speakers, and BRIGHT SCREEN which worked today in the June Community Rose Garden (couldn't see a thing on s10). I might keep the Moto, but I have 4 more weeks to test it out. P.S. I did get a replacement battery in my S10 today.

[@krisstoferc9574]

no Always on Display right?

[@drmoynihan]

No, BUT!!! I surprisingly haven't missed it. So here Moto sits by my bed dark, but it lights up with the time in BIG NUMBERS when I barely touch it - and then it & I go back to sleep. No squinting at the always on tiny numbers on my s10. I really do like this feature. Of course the screen "is always on" when it needs to be, like when I was taking video and when I was running my mt bike the mileage & mph etc stayed on.The BRIGHT SCREEN is incredible - especially when taking photos in bright light. BUT IT CANNOT REPLACE MY GALAXY S10.😢 Almost everything works/looks better, and is more integrated in my Samsung, so I had the Samsung 10's battery and factory seals replaced on Friday and my Galaxy is still my 1st choice for everyday carry.

[@Jim26D]

I dropped my s10 and need a new phone before I completely lose my screen. I've got purple lines on my corners. I was hoping this would be a good replacement phone for it. Would cost me more to change the screen and digitizer than buy this for $200

[@drdoc7508]

[@CinHalCedHerChance]

does it's have an audio jack and expandable memory? That said I got it and I don't like the stylus because of the faux leather backing. 1 MAIN REASON to not buy it, the back on it is terrible, it rips so easily (especially around the camera bump). I'm careful with my phone and it obviously snagged on something and there's a slight tear now. I can't imagine what the back will look like in a few months. They really screwed up with the backing, I got a case and now it's a huge brick. Just a heads up to anyone thinking about getting it. Google "vegan leather peeling off motorola".

[@bucket7548]

This is, i think the first time the boost mobile one has more than 4 gb of ram. This actually means a lot to me because that always felt like a crappy thing boost did to their customers.

[@jonthebru]

Is putting it on Verizon as easy as switching the SIM card or is there more to it? My criteria is the expandable memory, I am disappointed that Samsung dropped that part on their phones. I had a Motorola phone some years ago so I have no problem with the manufacturer. I have had my Samsung phone for about 4 or 5 years, it is Android 11 but still works, the issue is the battery, it doesn't last nearly as long as it used to.

[@notmeagain5647]

for camera, how would u compare this to A54 ?

[@CinHalCedHerChance]

Don't get it. I got this phone and the faux leather is BS. After 2 days of using it, already a small tear on it where the camera starts to raise on its back and I'm careful with it. Motorola should have just used hard plastic or glass for a backing. Google search "vegan leather peeling off motorola" you'll see how it degrades. I'm considering returning this one now, while I still have time.

[@leophoenix1452]

This vs the motorolla thinkphone which is the better deal?

Should compare it to the S22 Ultra since you can get that for a little less than $400 used. Personally I'd rather have the used flagship.

[@Darkwormhole777]

The only issue I have with Motorola is the support life of their phones, it is way to short of a support lifespan , they are couple of reasons why folks love iPhones for example, not just the echo system and security but the support life of apple devices is very good, I'm still seeing people using iPhones 8, X and 12 which brings me to the next point, they are allot of people who still hold on to their phones 4-6 years after purchasing their devices Motorola and CMF. Even Google promising industry leading support for their devices, but Google doesn't seem to have a great reputation when it comes to keeping up with promises in the past, and so people are sceptical about those promises they made at the launch of the pixel 8, so people really care about the longevity of software support and most importantly security support.

As good as this phone is, Motorola is causing their own phones to fail because they make great phones but they get left by the waist side way too quickly, and if they don't care as much for their products, to want to see them last for many years, knowing that Motorola has your back as a customer when it comes to supporting those devices, giving you the customer peace of mind, then why should the customers care? Apple certainly cares about their phones which still have great resale value.after a few years, after 1 year Motorola doesn't care about you afterwards you're on your own, that's sad.
