Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G - 2023 vs 2022: A Worthy Upgrade?

[@danjones3402]

The back on the 2023 also feels very good. Its plastic but doesn't feel like cheap plastic on the older models. Its just the right weight to make it feel like a sturdy phone.

This is the difference, the 2023 version has a slightly better processor that has 4k capabilities. The back has a more premium feel and has stereo speakers. The 2022 has more ram which is up to 10gb with ram boost, its .02 inches bigger and actually have an ip rating. If you really want to get technical, it definitely depends on the individual preference because the differences are very minimal. I felt like they could have at least gave the 2023 8gb of ram and kept it ar 6.8 inches. I currently have the 2022 unlocked and got the android 13 update a few weeks ago. Overall, they are both solid devices and the 2023 isn't a significant enough for me to upgrade. The 2022 is just as good if not better in a few ways so ill probably upgrade to the moto edge plus 2023 which in my opinion, the phone and best value of the year for a flagship

I read that it will get only 3 years of security updates? Is that right?

Nice 💯. How does the 2022 5g get Android 12, but the 2022 4g doesn't? I'm getting very annoyed that I'm still stuck on Android 11!

[@kalipeztech]

The 5G came with Android 12 I think, my 4G 2022 actually updated to 12 a while ago too 🤔 Is yours factory unlocked? If not it might have something to do with your carrier which is weird but I know it happens

​​@@kalipeztechI'm not hooked to a network. My Moto g pure updates without a network, so does my Blu phone. I got another question. Is it bad that I never let my phones battery get below 50% before charging? I've done this with all my devices

[@kalipeztech]

Yeah that’s weird, I don’t connect any of these phones to networks either and my Stylus 2022 4G has Android 12. Maybe got o the “check for updates” section in the settings? I’ve noticed a lot of phones don’t notify you when an update is available so you might have to refresh it manually. And naw the battery thing is fine, I rarely let my iPhone 13 get below like 75% and its battery is worse than most of these phones, nowadays smartphones typically have smart charging that slows it when it gets too close to 100% to prevent overcharging

[@Trelitzahit]

I have both, great phones. But the 2023 is definitely better and snappier

[@Tech-view4]

The moto g stylus 5g 2023 is better

[@Moneyluv-e1z]

Can someone tell me which on is louder

[@Trelitzahit]

The 2023 is louder, it has stereo speakers on top and bottom. 2022 only has one bottom speaker
