Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) Pros & Cons | GOOD, BAD & UGLY!

[@kndawsey]

Just bought one (Caramel Latte) because as an artist its ideal. I haven't found any Cons I had the Moto g Stylus 2022 4g and this is a excellent upgrade the stylus is much more fluid so drawing feels more natural before all I could do was color at best.

[@mokisan]

God I love this device! I wish this was available across the pond This is the only device which has headphone jack, sd card slot, fm radio app and also a stylus! Please moto launch it here 😢

[@NenadTrajkovic]

It is Moto G54 across the pond

[@andrefajardo486]

For receiving only one OS UPDATE this device shouldn't cost more than 250$ It's a shame what Motorola does Shortening the lifespan of a nice all around device

[@jevonsims900]

If Moto prices their phones high they can go down to $249.99 without losing any money.

[@BusymanXD]

It’s not like android has changed much anyways. Stock android looks the same since Android 12, android 15 feels more like 12.5.7. Also people buying this phone rarely will pay full price as Motorola phones are almost always on sale and carriers will have great deals when upgrading it could go as low as $150

[@mathesar]

Its not the OS update policy that bothers me its the 3 year security update policy, when a new model is released the clock starts ticking and after 3 years the phone is abandoned on the software side altogether (dont buy used motorola phones if they're older) but if you can get it on release then 3 years is a decent amount of time between upgrading to a newer model.

[@RagingBad]

​@dmikeweeks666 seriously?

[@jralphroman]

Does the phone suddenly stopped working?

[@jasonroberts8416]

having an OLED display is a huge upgrade to picture quality and over 2x brighter than previous Moto IPS displays , the fact that it still beats the Power 5G 2024 in battery tests is pretty impressive. (13.1 hours vs 15 hours battery stress test) although 13 hours is still very good for continuous screen on time.

[@shawnchalfant1595]

Picked mine up at Best Buy today. Best Stylus model ever and I had about 5 of them 2020 up until now.

[@uwharriebigfoothunter]

I've had the first stylus and the stylus 2023. I plan to get this one today.

[@shawnchalfant1595]

I'm enjoying mine. Great buy.

[@DWtechfan]

I mean this device looks excellent and even if it got 3 years total, it might be worth the $399 price. But, why does Motorola keep doing this? Only 1 OS and 3 years of security updates. Samsung & Google offer at least 3 OS and 4/5 years security updates on their lower end phones. It can’t be that hard for Lenovo to support their Moto phones for at least that long too. And $399 is kinda midrange cost so they’ll have to lower the price or offer longer years of support to compete with other brands. But I will say this Stylus will probably run circles around the A series from Samsung and Google.

[@SeptienPatterson]

Headphone jack!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@hactavis]

biggest reason why i want to get this. tired of using the adapter with apple

[@raquel2732]

I bought an unlocked version and with every app I open there’s an ad! How can I get rid of that?!?

[@ProlificInvention]

Real quick question: bought the Revvl 7 pro after seeing your review...took some videos and pictures with the awesome looking 4 camera design. Photos were awesome, videos looked good but the format is incompatible with much of my editing software and programs. Even multiple video converters can't fix it, any ideas?

[@TheJames-Edward]

I think there's video converters in the app store. I've had to do that before but it's been a few years. I found an app to do it but not sure if it still available. Have you checked the play store?

[@ProlificInvention]

@@TheJames-Edward Yes, thoroughly tried 5 of the most popular apps for video conversion-well versed in these things but I've never had so much trouble...it sucks too because the videos in question are very important and I could never remake them with the same effect

[@MauricioPerez-ox3jh]

I have a question: which of all the cell phones you mentioned do you recommend?

[@AnweshAdhikari]

Can you confirm if this has eSIM and the secondary camera is actually a macro?

[@drmoynihan]

Have you taken it outside yet? How is the screen brightness? We were in Switzerland with my Samsung s10 on the Matterhorn - I could not see anything on my screen!!! Had to stuff it in my coat to even see if I was getting the snowman with the m&m eyes. LOL Samsung left me when they took away - Expandable Memory & Headphone Jack, and Sony's new phone has no USA Version.

[@AlettaAdorno]

U think the reval 7 5g or this stylus 5g is better?

[@TechRight]

I'll do a video comparing soon.

[@MeganWildflower]

how does the battery life compare to the motorola edge+ 2023? my carrier offers both of these and I cant decide. I use mostly for listening to podcasts at work and need something that lasts long. right now I'm using a moto g ace and has held up since I got it in 2021 but battery is starting to go coput

[@kevrayo12]

This phone vs thinkphone or oneplus12r???

[@tpcthepatrickchannelOFFICIAL]

Hopefully I get that phone soon. It's just awesome. But I do agree on the fact that there's only up 1 year of OS updates. That's the only I hate Motorola. AND the processor, but I'ma keep saying it, Moto G Stylus 5g 2024 is 🔥!

[@SeptienPatterson]

$399. The same price the Pixel 8a should have been.

[@selahlonn448]

Can you do a bunch of selfie pics want to see how good 32 mp cameras are

[@Peppyrooster]

It will eventually drop to around $250 or less as time goes by then it will be okay to pick up .just not right now .,not worth it for $400 nope .no sir .with lacking some features and lack of software updates . unfortunately.but decent phone .

[@calvee1100]

The 2023 version is 250 new. Just wait a year and the price will drop. The hardware is totally worth 250 even if moto only supports the software for a couple years.

[@ErnieGamezOfficial]

I'm using mine right now. Bought it like 2 weeks ago for 250

[@Jim26D]

Last Motorola phone I bought was the photon which was a great phone but they didn't support it with updates and wouldn't unlock the bootloader

[@samgford]

I just ordered one from Visible. It says 128GB? Is that an error on their part?

[@OfficalPrinceToni]

If it’s not unlocked it only offers 128gb

[@skylerbond56]

I'm impressed with it my fold 4 had some sort of internal failure and my phone company didnt want to honor my insurance apparently there was a missed payment when its automatic and i inow i had money in the bank cause i keep a minimum of $2k for emergencies. So i switched providers and got this for free, and while i was expecting a huge downgrade it wasn't. Yes sometimes it gets a little laggy and wonky but a simple restart fixes that, and it only ever happens like once a month and i should probably restart it at the begging of my day. The canara isnt too bad either considering the price.

[@calin2007]

Not it own photo gallery yet??

[@darrentaylor775]

I have to disagree with you no phones last 2 days on one charge

[@Tristin471]

It depends on how you use it. If I get a day out of a charge, I’m 100% satisfied.

[@HITekhMedia]

S24 ultra always last me a day plus no low power mode

[@AceOfTheIndies]

I have an S24U, and I can easily get 2-3 days out of 1 charge. I’m not a heavy user, hell I would say I’m not even a moderate user. Texts, do a little surfing, check Discord, and social media. I don’t even hit 1 hour of screen time a day most of the time.

[@roadsidecamper]

Keep hoping they would throw some gorilla glass on the new ones or something my older moto g 5g display shattered =(

[@BosunM8James]

I thought Motorola put Gorilla Glass on all their "G" devices

[@roadsidecamper]

@@BosunM8James Not that i know of 🤔. If they do it's never on the spec sheet. It should be as it's a good selling point.

[@BosunM8James]

@@roadsidecamper It would be a good selling point and I just read the spec sheet for their phones and you're right; no mention of gorilla glass. I'll have to look into this deeper but I thought I found an article once stating that Motorola was going to use gorilla glass exclusively on all their devices. If I find it I'll post the link here.

[@roadsidecamper]

@@BosunM8James Would be funny if the G in Moto G stands for Gorilla glass but they don't even put it on their spec sheet lol. I don't know what the, "G" stands for hmm..

[@georgebunch8691]

I bought one today at Spectrum for $249. So far so good.. According to the salesman, I got the last 1 in stock in the Spectrum store. This may be the best phone that I have ever had. I love the 8 GB of RAM. Nice and snappy!

[@georgebunch8691]

I was disappointed and surprised That the phone did not come with a charger. Diss appears to be a little cheap for Motorola. Fortunately I have plenty of chargers at my house.

[@cosmoguarriellojr7822]

I bought it at $350 with tax $381, 3 cases, and a 512gb SD card, I thought it was gonna be much bigger taller and wider, I kind of wish I would have went with a old flagship like a Samsung or maybe a pixel, it's very good and the price dropped to $250. Nothing better to get at $250 unlocked

[@RMcLanimalrescuer]

Im going to wait I think until they have a sale and order straight from motorola. Sometimes when you go to their site they will offer free ear buds or the Lenovo Tab p 11 with a keyboard and stylus. Right now they have the moto g power on sale with free ear buds worth 129.00. I love their g stulus. I have had them all every year since the 2021 model so I really don't care much about the OS update fiasco. I realy wish they would have put the higher end chipset in this year but i guess getting the OIS for image stabilization is a trade off.

I have this for 5 months now, I got it on a deal for like $140. I just had to use Google Fi with it, but that was no problem, because I needed Google Fi for a while. That's the only reason. I think the one issue irks me the most is the haptic feedback feels like this phone is from 2010 and the speakers are also mediocre at best. Again, at the price it's still a good compromise. People who buy this, don't expect this to be some sort of a "flagship killer", because it's not.
