Got this phone for free basically (from metro) just paid activation and first month of service. So all in all 105$ after tax. Coming from a Razr 40/2023 it's feels like an upgraded phone with no clamshell factor. Did the usually stuff in developer mode. I think Motorola did a good job with this phone IMHO.
you can get this phone for $250 now. is it worth the buy now?
Yeah actually, in retrospect I was too hard on this phone ngl
Great video Ty! Just got another subscriber! 💯
Hell yeah! I’m glad to have you! Welcome to the family! ❤️❤️
Never had an issue with otter box cases. Had this one for only a month before that section over the camera control cutout broke. Warranty case comes today so we’ll see how long that one lasts. Luckily the warranty process was easy other than having to pay $10 for the shipping. If the new one breaks just as easily then this case will easily be a bust.
Damn! It broke that fast?? If it breaks again, Otterbox gonna have to go back to the drawing board cause that’s a no for me dawg
@@ty_techofficialI agree. And it was a two foot drop. Getting out of the car and dropped in driveway. Shell casing cracked right in half on the cutout part. Unreal. When I contacted them they did say development was aware of the flaw … so I wonder how quickly (if ever) they come out and acknowledge the poor design of this case.
2:15 that’s the exact point mine broke. It’s a vulnerable part 100%
A lot of commenters don't understand that phone usage varies from day to day, and that battery performance depends on subtle factors, such as how full it is, brightness throughout the day, data use, idle time, etc. He got 4 days out of it on one particular occasion, but that doesn't mean he uses exactly 25% battery every day he uses it, or that he will *typically* last for a day on 26%. Anyway, great review! Trying to decide right now between the Edge 2023+ and the g Stylus 5g 2024. The Edge+ clearly has better specs, but I really want a headphone jack lol. Might have to finally give it up though.
Thank you for the compliment! Between the two, I’d honestly go with the Stylus!
But do they make this mag XT case for the 16+
Are you able to fit a glass screen protector within the front frame of the case if you remove the film protector?
That’s what I’ve been doing lowkey 👀
I own this phone and the curved display is not for me it felt too slim even my moto g play 2024 looks better for me
I just purchased 1 an hour ago❤
Enjoy that shit! 😎😎
I just bought one for my daughters first phone. Let's goooo moto!! 💯
@@reiready8847 It's a fun phone I'm enjoying mine alot
Got 1 for my niece. $42 bux at boost mobile 😊
I was looking for the old design about to get my phone and wasn’t finding it. Came upon this video so happy , I won’t be getting one❤ thx
Of course! As soon as I bought and saw it I was like… somethin ain’t right here 👀
Thank you for this video. I have a 14pm with the defender case and have used their cases on all my previous iPhones. I think that I will order the case that you recommended at the end of this video. Fu** Otterbox. I used to really respect then and their wonderful Warrenty, and that also has changed. I had to complain to everyone in the company before I was able to get Warrenty service.
Really?? I didn’t even know the warranty was that hard to place now! Yeah check out the Supcase UB Pro, it’s definitely more with your money!
Your the only person putting the moto edge down
iPhone 11 or Motorola Stylus 2024
God… that’s a tough one. I’d say the iPhone 11 just because of its software viability and security. A 5 year old iPhone will typically still outperform a newer entry level android, only downsides would be the 4G cap and the storage depending on what size you’re buying! I’d go with the iPhone 11 honestly!
@@ty_techofficial thank you so much for the honesty. No one knows how to be that way anymore.
I got my Edge 2024 at Walmart for Straight talk for $230 and i love it. Been a Motorola guy since the 90s and couldn't be happier with this phone
I have the defender for my 16 pro max while I do feel meh about the case and truly disliking the camera control cut out the case has done well with protecting my iphone while at work especially with my iphone falling once while at work
Do you know if lifeproos has one for the 2024 stylus? Ive seen for the 2023. I usually do the warranty trick when i get a new phone and was wondering if i should pay 10 for shipping and get a free lofeprood or get this one?
The cutout is ugliest as f.
I can’t disagree with you on that, my guy 👀
Went with "Spice" model on the 16 p-max. it feels like a giant remote
I sold mine to my friend lowkey lol
Does this phone support video output through the USBC port? Using the ready for feature with a wired connection?
Yes! Yes it does! Use a USB C 3.1 to HDMI cable!
@ty_techofficial Sweet! Wired connection is always so much more responsive! Thanks 👍
I got chu brother! I hope you enjoy it! Hope you and your family have a happy holiday!
@@ty_techofficial Thanks man you as well 👍
I’m loving it! Can someone tell me what providers they’ve used?? I’m with AT&T but I’m paying $200 for one phone currently..I need a new provider 😅
I believe you can get it for free right now if you switched to Metro by T-Mobile or at a discount on Boost Mobile!
this is on sale NOW cyber monday only at walmart for 99 dollars = wow great deal!
Poetic has the best cases for this phone hands down and I have been using them for almost 10 years. Slimmer cases with more protection, great with wireless charging and color options depending on the Poetic case you purchase.
I don’t disagree! They’re a really underrated case brand!
@ty_techofficial underrated for too long 😅
In a pinch, the back is covered in Vegan leather, and can be eaten in survival situations, without breaking your Virtue Signalling anti-animal product score.
I wasn't expecting that but now I know to stock a moto phone or two 😂
They are $237 on amazon, 8gb/256gb version, right now.
Definitely not as thick as the defender pro. Feels weird being in my hands now being thinner.
It's a bit of a weird feeling yeah, but as someone with small hands, it's still big as hell 😂
@@ty_techofficialI have small hands too so this one helps me reach the other side of the screen with one hand just a tad more 😂
I purchased one of these going into it somewhat blindly, I just looked at the specs and pressed the buy button because it is one of the few phones that works on my (pretty bad) CDMA cell network (idk why the US still uses CDMA). It costed around 250 dollars unlocked due to a Black Friday deal. It just arrived the other day and I have been pleasantly suprised. It handles games well, has good battery, seems relatively durable, and was for sure worth the price. Keep in mind that I upgraded from a Moto G Stylus 2020 (yeah idk how that old thing still works), so my expectations arent too high. My conclusion is if you are looking for a good budget phone that can handle light gaming such as Pokémon GO and other games on mid to low settings, this is perfect, especially if you find it on sale.
I agree, that price for an unlocked phone is a steal! Good choice!
iblazon armorbox is actually cheaper than ub mag xt as of black friday :D
Which one you picking up 😎
Its 75 right now on metro pcs fist month pay it will be unlock after 180 days for any carrier
Hey, so just FYI, I would assume that the fact that you can get this phone with a decent trade-in for 50 to $100 on the Motorola site unlocked right now it's probably going to make a difference to some people. Just letting y'all know.
Your channel sucks with them empty oversized phone boxes in the background and that overflow of hair on face and chin and that rounded hair line that doesn't match your hat size with that big azz forehead. Lol
I have this. It's hard to get used to after having a Galaxy. There is no "back" button. That's frustrating. This phone is a maddening bitch. The display is good. Functionally it is frustrating. Only paid $90. Oh well.
In your Moto app, set up settings for moto actions. You can configure swipes to do that. buttons fail, and are moisture ingress points. A lot of the Moto actions/gestures are patented, like 'hatchet' motion flashlight, wrist twist to open camera.
This review was trash!
7:27 is that supposed to be HBK or Triple H?
That's the Show Stopper my guy! 😎

So I have had 3 of these and I have some answers for you here. Reprogramming the fingerprint will make it more accurate, specifically if you program the same finger from both hands. It'll blend the prints together and be more accurate. The stylus took a little getting used to but I figured out making sure it writes accurately, and the CAMERA is it's own animal. Yes it has enhanced features that beautify and blend things, that is not the camera itself. It's Moto AI camera, and if you take pictures in different places you'll see what I mean. It asks when you first open the camera if you want a natural picture, or enhanced. Super simple to switch between them.It's actually using a blending ai pattern that does best in DARKNESS. Bright pictures can tend to look blurry in the lightest spots due to this enhancement, but if you dig in the camera settings, you can turn off the enhancement, and if you know enough about how pro cameras work, you can swipe over to the PRO capture mode and control each of the settings manually, including using a RAW capture instead of JPEG, raw is uncompressed and takes more space, or save one of each format so you can decide yourself. I personally prefer the high-resolution mode found in the more section.
Thank you for this. Considering this phone and coming from iPhone. Im a big Apple user but would like to branch out and see what other devices are like so fingerprint is a big thing for me. I have a windows laptop and the Face ID doesn’t always work so I was concerned “ what if I get locked out of my own phone because a feature screws up “ lol 😅
@@taylorsimpson8897 well first off after a couple of fails with the fingerprint it just has you use the PIN but honestly this video made this phone sound like s*** and it's probably the best phone that I've ever had so I kind of just needed to say my piece
Glad I could help brother! Sorry about the lateness to my reply! Hope I made your decision a little earlier, hmu if you have any different opinions if you got it!
This guy makes this phone sound horrible got this phone for free on straight talk. I can tell you it's a magnificent phone. And. There are deal on this phone everywhere on every carrier. Can get it free or for 99 bucks this phone is fast screen is great. The pixel 8a is trash trust I've owned them all and Moto edge is great and better then both of those phones
I have straight talk I was thinking about getting moto edge as an upgrade
Will this get 5G on the At&t network?
Yes it will!
I got edge plus 2023 version last year when it came out but microphone stops working alot and keeps lagging is this good option
The only thing that'll stop me from buying this phone is the slow 30w charging, that, and no charger.
Slow charging WILL help keeping your batter healthy. Push too much current thru it consistently... It will degrade the longevity of the battery.
it's a 200 dollars phone what more can anyone ask for
i got it for 297$ and just by the screen/specs id guess 500$ or more for this phone. havent got it yet but hope i like it
I give $80
I paid 250 directly from motorola
I paid $27 from Motorola directly with trade in.
$0 with cricket if you start a plan. $99 if you already have cricket and want to upgrade
It’s free on Metro. Pay $75 one month for an unlimited plan and then drop it. Now what’s the value proposition? 😂
I used to having Samsung Galaxy A series phones I recently upgraded to my first Samsung Galaxy s24 Fe and I must say I really like the Samsung Galaxy Fe series phones better than the Samsung Galaxy A series phones but I bought a Motorola stylus 5g 2023 for work then I recently upgraded to the Motorola 5g stylus 2024 and I must say Motorola makes a really good work phone I really like the Motorola 5g stylus 2024 better than last year's and it my new favorite Motorola stylus 5g
I'm about done with Motorola

@ivanventura87 of course brother!
Ordered mines last night. Will be here tomorrow. Got it strictly for decent HD gaming for PUBG, Fortnite and COD. Conqueror status here I come.
How bulky is it? Would it fit in your pockets comfortably?
More than you’d think! I haven’t had a problem with it when taking it in and out of my pockets on any of my iPhones!
This is actually a great phone. This dude is weird lol
I have this phone since 4 months and all is good , i returned Samsung A35 after 10 days and returned pixel 8a and i buy this one!
How good does it compare to the edge 2023?
i purchase the Tac case not only for its lightness and being thin. But, it one of the slim few that also has a covering for the camera section. I purchase a set of lens covers and they perfectly fit inside the Tac protective camera cover. I also put on a protective shield. Now, my iPhone 16 PM will be handling my 4 foot drops with ease. I am not in the construction industry and I don’t need these bulky and resilient cases. I put a white Mag ring to create a strong connection for my Mag wallet and other accessories. Tac is one of the lightest cases. Just a few grams. A great case to show the natural bury of the iPhone.
Hell yeah brother I agree! I still use the TAC case whenever I go out to restaurants and gatherings for a little and weightless and minimalist feel! I'm glad you like it brother! I hope you used my code to get your 10% off!
If you use bluetooth auto-play or don't have an android auto compatible system, you're going to be seriously disappointed that this will not auto-connect nor auto-play. This seems to be an issue with Android 14 on these devices... and we all know how fast Motorola is at pushing fixes, so you might want to wait for a Lineage port or Android 15 to be released on this device before buying it to use as your daily media machine... I made this mistake so now you don't have to.
