Moto G Stylus 5G (2023) Pros & Cons - GOOD, BAD & UGLY!

[@TheDarthEmperor]

Lets be honest, Updates don't do anything but make phones worse. All the phones I've owned worked best right out the box.

[@delta40031]

Yeah I know what you're saying but securities updates are crucial.

[@TJ-hs1qm]

my realme pro 8 still gets updated and it only got better

[@westhemann]

They could do security updates without changing everything else. The updates are just meant to slow down and bloat your phone so that you'll get a new one more quickly than you otherwise would. I never buy an expensive phone anymore strictly because the updates make sure you will need a new one within two years at most.

[@BR4ND0N509]

Facts I have a 2020 Motorola One 5G Ace and won't update to new OS until my next phone just in case it doesn't work right, don't want to ruin my daily driver phone lol

[@gamingguide1565]

Maybe for moto it's like that i used other phones and updates actually improved performance, battery, Camera

[@SicErikTech]

Motorola is definitely becoming the new LG. I've been using this device for a couple of days now and it is pretty good. I've got the T-Mobile 128gb version $300, I'm okay with the lower storage since it's got a micro SD card.

[@BLiles-bp9kj]

Motorola was first that invented cell phone lol

[@PPKMBA]

When lanch in India with 128 GB storage without stylus

[@pp3k3jamail]

Yep they're just like LG releasing phones that only get one year updates. I don't get that line of thinking.

[@handlemonium]

Yup Asus and Sony took up the high end and Motorola picked up the slack in the sub-$450 end of things. Only things missing are OLED display and 4-5 years of OS (if not at least security) updates. 🙏

[@enriquecarrillo2978]

Haha so funny you say that. 😂I thought this since the first gen of this phone.

[@jeremystahlhood]

I went from a pixel 4 to a Motorola edge 2021 last August. The thing that drew me to it was 1. Battery was a MAJOR upgrade from 2400mah to 5000mah. I know this is a moto g stylus video, but i have the same problem as what is mentioned in the video... ONE OS UPDATE!! It would be nice if Motorola offered at least 2-3 software updates on their popular phones. Most people only have phones for 2 years nowadays anyway. So yeah, they can at least give multiple software updates that match that.

[@handlemonium]

Pixel 5a/6a was a huge jump in battery life if you had stuck it out with Google. Edge is good too tho as long as you don't mind no getting updates for more than 2-3 years.

[@justinkimble4654]

True

[@codefuntime3129]

Some individual buy new phones after a year so os update isn't a big problem

[@Terranwilliamson1745]

All i gotta say is,3 day battery life will always and will forever be the goat of all Motorola smartphones

[@SidnyNasty]

There is a pretty active community around custom roms for the entire Stylus 5G family so the one year of OS updates really isn't too much of an issue if that's something you're interested in doing. My 2022 hasn't been on stock firmware since the first week I got it.

[@SumRndmPenguin]

Oh, that's nice to hear. Are there any websites or youtubers you'd recommend for guides?

[@cadence-p3445]

I'm curious as well, I'm considering getting this phone myself

[@lowkeyparanoid2863]

Major switch from Apple to Android specially Motorola cause I hear that android like to give freedom and have batteries last a min tired of a hour long battery but I’m interested in learning

[@lowkeyparanoid2863]

Ordered the 5g stylus today nervous to see if the price was worth it

[@5150crazyfun]

Motorola needs to stop doing one OS update and 3 years of security patches. With phones like the A54 and 6a having 4-5 years of OS updates and security patches doing the bare minimum in 2023 is just lazy. Even when the processor is powerful enough to support it. I love what Motorola is doing with their design and software but it decreases the value when so many phones offer more long term support.

[@9Tailsfan]

I got the 4 g variation. (in glam pink). Just got it from Amazon yesterday. Gotta say this coating that Motorola uses is pretty good.

[@Terranwilliamson1745]

Yeah I love 4g variant Smartphones so damn much XD🙃🤗

[@ardriacrawford]

The color of the phone doesn't matter anyway because it's going to be in a case. Most people get the colored case that they like That's just a way for them to charge more for phone as a certain color

[@jfvira9844]

I cannot go back to Samsung because of the chop chop flash light feature on Motorola phones!

[@B_Machine]

It's so quick and convenient!

[@jbrown6030]

That is ABSOLUTELY A HUGE Selling point believe it or NOT! Genius idea whoever came up with that, and yes I use it all the time. And yes made me consider and buy moto over Samsung

[@fyrewatermelons]

I got anxious and brought the 128GB version of this phone from Cricket Wireless. It's definitely better than the 2021 variant and a _small_ upgrade of 2022 variant. I've been enjoying my time with the phone so far with a few small annoyances.

A lot of people get what they can afford and I'm sure it's as good as any phone in their price range. I have been without a phone a couple of times in my life. Any phone can be wonderful after being cut off from family and friends. I'm not putting the phone down I'm sure it's a wonderful phone.

[@peterford9369]

OMG, I so remember the day when my phone would say, " no storage available, make more space". 😭

[@kevinl3235]

That's me right now, it's not letting me edit photos because memory is too full! 😮

[@peterford9369]

@@kevinl3235 You either take loads of pictures or have a very small storage phone. Or you have loaded tons of apps. I have a Pixel 3XL now with 128 gigs of storage. And probably have like 102 remaining. But my phone is primarily a phone - mini laptop. And I don't play games, nor take hundreds of pics. I'd say time to upgrade. Now, storage is relatively inexpensive. And I'm a poor guy. Obviously by the fact I'm still using a 3XL 😂

[@xzivit09]

I just bought it today and is a great phone so far. I paid $256 with a case and a screen protector.

Currently using the original Stylus 5G (2021) and its weird seeing the 2023 version having a 6.6" screen while the 2021 model is 6.8" (Same 1080x2400 resolution on both).

[@jacobnunya808]

Yeah that was a strange thing to do. One would think that, being a phone with a stylus, it would have a very large screen.

[@EvanRockwell1]

Yeah, I have the 2022 version and when I got this one I was pretty bummed at the size difference.

Damn bruh where do you live? Here in CO can get the 128g version (only one they offer) for 150$ still very interested as I had the 2022 version

[@JH-pe3ro]

Boost was running a deal on their 128Gb version of the 2023 Stylus 5G, so I've upgraded from my original 2021 model to this one for $21. The stylus on my old one gradually wore down from heavy drawing and I've been carrying aftermarket ones, but the basic concept is still good. 120hz is a great usability upgrade, and the new camera will do better in low-light photos.

I'm trying to do that but they're out of stock rn. I'm just look online to see if they're any good. I mean, free is free, but I've read some terrible stuff about Xfinity's tech support and hidden charges and no english speakers. More than one person has said they ended with their money in Comcast's pocket and no way to get it back without stopping autopay and incurring an extra $10/month.. Also, they say if the phone has a problem you have to pay $30 for return shipping... Are you still okay with your setup?

[@MyNameIsUnavailable]

Boost guy here, 22 years. ZFlip3 tapped out on me, loved it 3 years. Got it $10.59 after state tax, I LOVE IT. Only thing missing is wireless charging, I can live without that. The STYLUS isn't necessary to operate phone. It's just for fun. If u never use the stylus, no biggie.

That’s a whole bunch of words and superfluous opinion without offering much meat on the specs and true feature bones. Fingerprints? Really?

[@corytrash9861]

Is this device capable of HDMI out?

[@johnwinchester9654]

It’s not a bad inexpensive phone. I switched from the pixel 7 pro. The pixel drove me nuts. I still have it as a backup but figured I’d try this new moto phone. It’s pretty good generally speaking, the only thing I’ve been troubled with is Motorola installing a specific bloatware app called telecoms client. I am under the impression that it’s for a notification management function. I still don’t want it. Aside from this I have no access to the administrator functions. I get a notice IT blocked. Only accessed by IT administrator. So you cannot tweak anything on this phone. I like the phone and haven’t experienced any issues.

[@nonpondo_]

[@danielgaytang]

I know this is an old comment but, what drove you nuts about the Pixel 7 Pro? Are you still using the Moto G Stylus? It's gotta be a massive downgrade in terms of camera.

[@chocluva2678]

I have a 2021, and I'm about to upgrade to this one, my 2021 does not disappoint. I don't use the stylus so it doesn't bother me either way.

[@CJBrowninLV]

It's honest to say that Lenovo / Motorola is a smaller Company than Samsung and Google, so updates don't come as quickly (you get 3 years with 1 OS update + security patch every 3 months). 3 years is when I start updating to a new Device, regardless. It always takes 1 to 2 software updates for those cameras (front and back) to really reach their best - and a recent 3rd update truly improved my 2022 unlocked variant G Stylus 5G. On the Lenovo / Motorola Forums is where we give honest feedback (they do watch video reviews and listen to constructive criticism). We mostly felt the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 1st Gen is alright (a 7 1st Gen would've been snappier, but it would've driven the price up to $499 - so please take that into consideration). 2023's screen size + 120 htz refresh rate, we felt a larger screen would have needed a larger battery than 5,000 mAh to last with the same refresh rate (and the Device would be too chunky like an old Phablet design wise with a larger battery). You only get 2 colour choices (no longer fingerprint smudges), some models it's just 1. The Unlocked Variant offers the most RAM and ROM vs the Carriers (I don't think that's ever going to change). 2023 does improve upon 2022, but we feel if Lenovo / Motorola quit offering 4G LTE Devices? they could devote more attention to their 5G Devices (remember it's a small Company compared to Samsung and Google). We'd like to see 20 - 25 Watt Wall Charger included (so charging up would be 45 minutes faster). Not that many Cons, because the 2023 has more Pro's at it's price range (even what the Stylus does has improved a little more). Easily the best Stylus Device out there in that price range (it's a shame that the OnePlus Nord, TCL, Nokia didn't try this year to come out with a Stylus). Your review touched on everything (great job!), I'm sure we'll see game use later. 😊

[@zacchaeusmartin8685]

I've had 3 different moto Gs and I've liked them all. Obviously, since I keep getting them. I don't necessarily need the stylus. I honestly never use it. My first one was the Moto G7 and I loved it so much that I went with the Moto G Stylus 2021, but only because it was the best option that Spectrum had in their store when I switched from straight talk. Then I slipped on ice on my driveway and had it in my hand. Landed super hard and it caught the full force of the fall on the bottom corner. So I traded it in for the Moto G Stylus 2023. The only thing I've noticed with it are some OS features that came with the 2021's last update that aren't with the 2023. Simple things like when I have Google Duo open in face calls. I would switch to KZbin and the face call would automatically shrink and I could seamlessly go between the two. Now I have to do that manually. So I do miss that.

Mine Shipped with Android 11 right now I have Android 12 and it is on the Motorola's list for Android 14. I heard it is also scheduled for Android 15 too. Motorola has been updating the Android software on their phones past the number of versions they previously announced. I have seen it in Print that all but their lowest priced phones will get 3 years of Android updates (Some even 4 years) and 4 years of Security updates. I have owned Motorola phones for a bunch of years. All of mine have gotten at least 3 Android updates. You are giving out very bad information.

$9.99 on Boost

I considered getting a pixel phone just cuz they're updates are good and more frequent than alot of other phones excluding apple of coarse but I decided move away from apple cuz my 12 pro max was getting pretty glitchy after a huge software update going into iOS 17 however the price point for me I wasn't doing apple again so hence buying a android

Got mine for 250 brand new

[@justinkimble4654]

Did you get yours through a Carrier? Metro? Cricket? Boost Mobile etc? Or on ebay, Amazon?

[@RookitMaster]

@@justinkimble4654 yes

[@teamskeet2006]

I love Moto G phones, the best one that I ever had was the Moto g 5 Plus, it was the perfect phone size and shipped stock android. Now their phones are too big and ship with bloatware. I've decided not to continue with Moto, on my last version now, won't replace it until it dies, but if I'm going to be getting bloatware then I may as well go elswhere

[@fafdus]

I want a drop test and a fly across the room test lol.

[@HhjvvHhubb]

Omg I noticed the curved design and thought I bent the phone because I accidentally had by elbow on it when I was sitting 😭

[@VoxWaya]

I have a 2020(2021?) Oneplus Nord N10 from metro and although its running Android 11, its doing some things better than my Moto G Stylus 5G 2022 on Android 12. So I stopped getting antsy about software updates, but I'm an IT tech so of course i want the newest OS.

[@mike.4277]

Whole phone is good, except for the screen size. Great video

[@LazySusan.]

Is it too big or small?

[@millzdeals]

​@@LazySusan.2021 was 6.8 in screen 2023 is 6.5 in. Screen

[@gerardb6521]

No 3.5mm jack on Google 6 - 7 or 8... so it's a no buy for me!

[@pixelgaming7261]

The 4G model is a no-go.

[@TheGodzilla2201]

I like watching videos about different phone types. Im watching this on my Samsung Fold 5 256gb

[@happyjojo626]

Battery does not last a day. Camera is ok. I will be replacing it with Samsung A23 5g UW.

[@timbob1145]

If motorola blended this with the thinkphone id buy it immediately

[@inegma29]

Not trusting that company anymore. Motorola phones are horrible. The specs always sound good but all the different models i've had were glitchy and constant problems.... My 2022 edge has 17 known problems per the internet, ive experienced 15 of them. Done with motorola.

[@10xyourlife65]

All companies have that one person with a bad experience you are just one of them

[@PaulSmith-zt7ix]

Head phone jack

[@darlenepaul2918]

Yes it has one!

[@raincadeify]

Why do people want that? Do people even have wired headphones anymore? This must be a gaming thing?

[@AmuseMeYo]

​@@raincadeifyfor me it's more to listen to Spotify in my car not so much headphones although I have been stuck using it for that too 😅

[@raincadeify]

@@AmuseMeYo That makes sense. I forgot about the car scenario.

[@AmuseMeYo]

@@raincadeify yea cause even though my car says it connects Bluetooth I can't get it to work so the aux cord is my best friend 😂

[@PPKMBA]

Battery charging drain test and gaming test of COD MOBILE and bgmi 🙂

[@DonteSummers]

I have the 6a and the stylus, stylus has more storage for me than the 6a and runs faster

[@christophergrigoratos8581]

I saw this phone at cricket and didn’t see fm radio on it

Nice video. I ordered one of these (the wife went with the iPhone 15 pro max) and am waiting on it to arrive. I opted for this Moto phone for 2 reasons. 1) The ear-phone jack and 2) the SD card support. I hate that it only gets a single year for an update, but I can live with that to get the two features stated above. My current Moto phone is running Android 8.1 and still works with the exception that this year, I have had a few apps not work any longer on it. (bank apps, pilot app, etc...) I'm guessing the new Moto will get me another 3 years at least, before I may have to get a phone without the headphone jack. (I only found 2 main models that had it this year, so it is definitely prone to being eliminated) Once I join the younger generation that feels they do not need a headphone jack, I will likely go to a Google Pro (whatever the current version is at the time) or I will turn to the dark side and join the wife with an iPhone 15 pro max. (or whatever the current version is at that time) In actuality, if Apple would change up their file access ability, I would switch to one now. The Android phones just make it so easy to access content, since the phone basically acts like a flash drive when you plug it in to your computer, and lets you access all files. iPhones have gotten a little better, but still nowhere as easy as accessing an android phone.
