Dude- for the price its a nice ass phone. It’s like you doing a review on Kia with Mercedes expectations- what do you think you’d get for $300 in 2023? I just bought one for my son ($160 usd) and I absolutely love it for him. The screen is bright and legible- it’s splash proof- with a decent camera and a stylus for him to doodle. Your review is quite inadequate for those who are looking for a “budget” phone with some sort of build quality and perks.
I resonate with this. Iphones and Samsungs hardly sell for less than $500-2,000 dollars AFTER discounts. Meanwhile, this moto is $20 bucks on my service. For the average guy, the moto g stylus and its features are a steal.
Thanks for this, I recently bought one for my son's 1st phone and was looking to hear a comprehensive review. For the price , I'm glad I was able to get this one instead of blowing a 1000 bucks. 👌
Recent likes brought me back to this post. So an update, I have the phone and it's working GREAT for me. Worth every penny if you get it on sale. It'll be a huge upgrade from any 2021 Moto model.

Your review, although comprehensive, is way too harsh. I purchased this phone (unlocked) one week ago and have used it to the fullest. For a $299 phone, it is excellent. Features are comprehensive and intuitive. Stylus is quite adequate. Overall…..a good smart phone and a buy at $299.
Agreed. He sounds like he's describing a different phone to the phone I bought. I think a lot of these tech influencers forget they are reviewing a $300 phone and compare it to a $1400 Iphone or $1000 Samsung. Honesty, this phone is performing as well as the Iphones and Samsungs I've recently had. Yeah, it doesn't have an OLED screen and it's all plastic, but it does everything every other phone does and just as well.
@@prestoncheapbtheadphoneste3010so which phones do you wanna buy that don’t mess up? I’m coming from iPhone and it’s not a problem like that unless your phones extremely old
Bro I know he said the OnePlus n30 is better and that has a snapdragon 600 series which is horrible compared to the gen 1! Also the OnePlus doesn't have 4k video! I just got the Stylus and it's amazing 😍
Yes! I like its Dimensity chipset. On every phone I've ever had with a Dimensity chip, I never have to worry about the phone lagging or seizing up. I like them.
Same here I had apple and Samsung and literally they just last one year at the max year and a half and had to spend another 1200 and I had Motorola for 2 years now and still going a cheap cellphone but still working
I've had my Samsung S9 since it debuted in 2018. Still a great phone. Battery just does not last all day now and I have to put it on loudspeaker or earbuds to hear loud enough. That's all. GREAT PHONE! My husband bought his Samsung S10+ a couple months after me and his is still going strong.
Depends on how you treat them. Most of my iPhones have lasted me 4-5 years. I use them for a year and pass it on to my parents or my siblings and they use it for 3-4 more years between them. I don't buy high end Androids other than recently but the Android phones that I have bought for $300-$500 have only lasted me like 1-2 years. Mostly because my kid takes bad care of them and breaks them.
Other than their flip phones, nothing Moto sells is geared toward people wanting cutting edge tech. They're utilitarian phones for people who want something affordable and reliable from a name they trust. Many also love their Android experience. I used Moto exclusively for years, but have moved on to Pixels.
I've recently moved away from the Pixel to Motorola and have no regrets. I traded my Pixel 7 Pro for the Moto Edge+ 2023 and the Motorola feels so much smoother and more premium.
For 300$ of their website, nice display snapdragon gen 1, solid battery, I'm sorry but I love the stylus, there is no other phone at this price point that can beat it

@@jacobnunya808bro it's not as small and honestly I like smaller. I'm using the 2022 and have to fiddle sometimes. My 2020 stylus version was perfect.
Well I recently purchased one coming from a Samsung Galaxy 9+ and I have been enjoying a lot of the features the phone offers and I love the 120hz screen I can view things well in daylight. So it's been a big upgrade for me lol. Some the apps do have an issue here and there. But I can say I'm happy with especially considering when I bought me and my wife's phones they were 1100 a piece lol
You are not going to believe me, I have a Motorola 5 G Stylus 2021 and with that phone I text, I browse the internet, I make calls and what excites me most is that I paid $99.99 and I have produced 150 thousand dollars with my phone . I love Motorola 😍
What a hater , I have a Motorola ace one since 2021 and think of up grading to the stylist 2023, and had ZERO issues with it besides the battery not lasting as long as when new but that's normal, this guy just knocking this phone down I'm sure it's a lot better than all the nightmare reviews of the Samsung S23 ultra at $1200 Motorola are built solid and ya might not have all the extra bull but built to last my Motorola I'm writing this on is proof so every one watching this don't take it to heart he likes high end Samsung phones that only last 12 months right after there warranty
I still remember the reviews of the LG Stylo phones where they mentioned that there was no other phone with the uniquely cheap stylus features on the market. That time LG didn't seem to feel the need to change much in the upcoming Stylo models but then Motorola found a niche in the competition and came up with a slightly more capable stylus phone with better battery and memory and chip set. But with LGs disappearance from the smartphone world things radically changed.I think Motorola is somewhat in the same position as LG was before. They don't want to spend tons of money on a product that isn't their main selling point plus doesn't have any competition whatsoever so no surprise that many features are being repeated and carried on from the older device.
most of moto budget is in military and first responders contracts. moto is huge in the military, transportation and first responders. Number 1 contractor with military com systems.
@@GODourFATHER That is a surprise to me because I thought it was the past. My father-in-law used to work on floating oil rigs and back then the feature phones were the new hype. He told me that nearly each communication device was Motorola and only a few were from NOKIA. He said that Motorola has never let them down and had reception even far off the shores.
@@GODourFATHER That's interesting. I never thought of the modern Motorola being used in the field. I would assume they would want more rugged devices. I have seen that Samsung pitched their phone line, Xcover FieldPro, as ones designed for first responders.
I think it's a hard spot to have money to fund phones that don't return in profit. In my eyes Motorola has a lot of competition against Samsung. Samsung pushes so many phones that they have the money to back up their R&D for their phones. I think even their budget phones are getting longer software support as well.
Man i remember the days when the Stylus phone were always the biggest! Like 6.6 inchea was massive back then! I used to love these. Now it's like average haha. Still a solid budget device.
I and my head appreciate the LCD screen options, the PWM on the newest and coolest is triggering my migraines😫 so these "arguably budget phones" have a place here in the tech world, especially if it helps reduce migraine triggers. Keep doing what you doing MOTO. Im leaving my Pixel 8 b/c of the PWM. Been to chiro, ENT and Neurologist for causes and for a healthy 40 year old and no apparent reasons for migraines, Ill chalk it up to the phone, b/c I have never had migraine issues until my 1st pixel.
😮😮😮 I just cannot believe I am reading what you wrote right here about the migraine headaches! My half-sister went from the Motorola to the pixel 17 months ago and all she ever does is complain about her migraine headaches. I don't ever remember her speaking about having any type of pain in her head until just recently when she switched from the Motorola to the brand new Google pixel phone. I noticed my vision has become very cloudy since I began using the Samsung s23 for the last 5 months and I have even gone to the eye doctor because it is so disturbing not to be able to see out of your right eye and left eye is extremely cloudy. I will definitely start doing some research on the different types of screens. I also still have my Motorola G in 2019 and I completely forgot about it because I only used it while I went on my nightly 6 me walk and working out at the gym. Never used the phone for service only as my workout companion.
recently bought a moto g stylus 2023 few days ago and I can honestly say that I am beyond satisfied with the results, great phone, beyond reasonable price, AWESOME! 👍
I find phones with Qualcomm cpu roam easily in a mesh network. Mediatek based processors stay locked into a specific node so have to kill wifi and then re-enable it. So this is my choice over other moto budget offerings
For the price that you pay you want a superior phone? Dude.. you obviously don't know nothing about smartphones yet! Don't talk bad about a phone which is pretty damn good!
I used to have a couple of Motorola cell phones years and years ago. They lasted forever they were great great phones. I just use my phone for very simple things. I want a decent phone for a decent price and this video was helpful
Nice review, after listening I think it's the phone for me. I'm coming from a LG stylo 6, although something like a apple pencil would nice, I'm used to this kind of stylus. Wirless charging would be nice, but again, used to it. Same with pre-instaled apps. I'm not looking for any special features. Just a solid battery, display, camera, sound, storage, mic, and stylus. The phone checks most boxes. 👍 I would like to see the mic quality when calling and more camera test photos.
Interesting, I might consider this model as an upgrade to the previous one I have due to the snapdragon chip alone. Moto G's have been good to me and never experienced sluggish performance.
The Motorola g stylus is not a $1,400. You give examples of other stylus and non stylus phones performance but all the examples cost around 4 or 5 times as much. The Moto g stylus gives up many things to get to that price point. You can't compare a Chevy cobalt to a Mclaren. How many other phones out there have a stylus at this price point? How many even support a stylus at that price?
You said the OnePlus n30 was way better than this? This has a snapdragon gen 1 and recording at 4k? You still think that? The OnePlus has a 3 year old chip and no 4k!!
Despite it having an old chipset the OnePlus n30 is better. The software is way better, the cameras is better. The n30 50 watt charging is better it has more ram it has and always on display. The n30 has a higher gpu
You can speed up the phone by going into developer mode and changing all your animation speeds to .5 and you get there by tapping your build number 20x i believe
Great phone but for some reason the battery isn't as good as it is in my 2021 5G stylus for some reason. With my 2021 I can get through the day with about 50% left at least. Worh the 2023 its more like 30%. Maybe it's just my phone. Edit. Dark mode/ or the system update has helped the battery a lot..
I bounce around on what phone I carry, between a couple of iPhones, a Samsung, and the Motorola that I'm on now which is the Motorola One 5g UW Ace from 2021 which is still a fine phone. This phone finds itself in the rotation specifically because of the software experience, which in this case is Android 12. Since it started on Android 10 and got 2 major OS updates, that's pretty good for Motorola. There's absolutely nothing clunky about the software experience. It is practically a basic android OS with a few gestures thrown in. That's what makes it a refreshing change from my Samsung's One UI. Even with the phone running a Snapdragon 750g from a couple of years ago it still runs incredibly smooth.
I have the Motorola ace since 2021 and have never had any problems runs great besides the battery slowly losing its charging ability but that's normal over time batteries loose that
These Gen Zzzz'erz and anyone under 25-30 are simply lazy bums that want everything tailored to them right out of a box. I used a rotary phone to check on where I was going to hang out and had a blast. Even though I'm 43, we still had one. 🫠
My dream phone would be a phone that looks like the Razor V3 and have Google Maps. Past that, I would like for it to hook up to Windows Link or Phone link. Other than that, It just needs to make calls, receive calls and have voice texting what little texting I do on a phone. I want to be able to fold it up and shove it in my pocket. This is the dream phone for me. EDIT: That little Stylus with a program like Picsay Pro is amazing when editing pictures. Just thought I would add that in there. EDIT again: I just saw you can buy the Motorola G Stylus 5G (2023) at Cricket new customer for $39.99. That is not bad compared to $1800.00 for something else.
I bought one and sadly had to return it. I always have a really bad cell signal from our AT&T tower (only AT&T in our rural area). I wanted to be able to make Wifi calls with this phone, but this phone does not support it. The phone itself is top notch with great speed and awesome cameras. Loved it.
I paid $199 unlocked, I had the 2022 and I LOVED IT, I'm hoping to feel the same about this one, I'm pretty simple, my 2 biggest gripes w the old one was the lack of stereo sound, and lack of NFC technology, both were fixed, I have massive fingers my right index finger is approx size 11 therefore the stylus is helpful, I'm artistic and love to draw, sometimes from start to finish on the SKETCHBOOK app, other times on paper then upload a photo of it and color that app, but point is, the experience has been very positive, especially for the $200 price tag, and not being a major techy, great phone for the price.. 256g storage is great, 6g ram is pretty snappy.
Stop hating on Motorola there are there own brand and can be how they want to be. Just because they are not like Samsung or apple that does not mean that they are bad. It is a good company and price for performance is better then Samsung every brand has there own quirks and that is not a bad thing it just makes the brand better in my eyes. That just means that the brand it is it own and you have differences that are difference from other company's. if all the brands had no difference then it would just be boring.
unlike my galaxy flag ship phones that only last a few year before crapping out, my family and myself have moto phones 7 plus years old going strong. ive dropped my moto phone hundreds of times onto concrete and never a cracked screen....to me, moto phones are though as hell and thats what i prefer over a bunch of other features that $1000 plus phones have that only last a few years or one drop.i also like the no blout ware that flag phones are known for. wireless charging would be nice for the moto though.
I think it's about the stylus. You are paying more to get a stylus. If you don't need a stylus, you going always get another cheaper moto phone. Personally though, I don't mind the skin. Outside of a few annoying bloatware apps that can be uninstalled I've always seen the skin as very close to stock Android with very little performance limitations. Was surprised at your take to be honest. I really enjoy the moto skin mainly because it's pretty simplistic and it feels non intrusive, minus your weird weather app thing 😂
can you cerate files and folders using the stylus like you do with Samsung notes? Also can you port Samsung notes over or would I need to create new files all over again if I switch? Tks.
Love your channel man. But dude, you hate on anything under 750 bucks. You have to realize most people aren't using their phones to game or take professional pictures. For 99% of the population, this is an excellent phone. The camera is way better than expected, and it has some cool features I wasn't expecting. Very happy, especially at this price.
Thanks and good video For me its good i been using da lg stylus 6 for yearsss and getting Motorola free so i can't complain i barely use my phone and i have da Motorola g pure now as well and i like it only thing is volume is low da stylus is louder so yeah gonna get it 😊
I love these types of phones so ofc I'll love it. I dont do social media aside the occasional TH-cam thats about it. I do use Spotify aswell. But other than that this is the perfect phone for me no complaints from this old dude lol.
I've had this phone for the past month as my second line. I love it, best android phone I've had. Screen is big and bright. The built-in stylus is sure handy for taking notes on the fly. I have had many Samsung and Motorola phones, this phone is the best I've had. I had bought the s24 ultra on my main line and returned it because I didn't like all the AI that really didn't work that well. I haven't had a chance to mess with the camera, so I can't comment on it.
@@calebalexander2359 They're great budget devices but I need something a little more powerful. I'll probably move on to Google pixels eventually but I'm about to try out the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series phones because they look dope.
AGREED! After almost a year in using this phone, I loved my Motorolas back in the day, but under Lenovo's leadership, it is lacking any devotion that rivals anything from Motorola's leading-edge history, and this phone is proof that Lenovo tried to fulfil a price point with little to no thought of the customer experience or how its cheap hardware choices affect said UX.
I've been using this phone for a year now because of its price and oddly, its name. I don't care about my phones, if they do what I want at a reasonable rate I'm fine. I switched carriers and came from a generic low budget samsung phone. I picked this because I hadn't seen Motorola in a long time and it was cheap. Other than the materials (I hate most iphones but my wifes phone feels so much better) it has been a potent ass phone for next to nothing. I don't even have a case and it still looks the same as the day I bought it. It's never been slow, its never had a hiccup. Just works surprisingly fast, has a good camera, and 5G. It just does what you want, you don't have to think about it, like the good appliance it is. As for the stylus, well that was a bonus and I only use it to write sarcastic messages on my screen to people talking to me.
@@ChambersMims I do, it's great in a lot of aspects. For $100, it's great. The battery seems like it lasted a little longer on my last one, but this does have a bigger screen. One issue I am having though is that I cannot get my Tesla to connect to the hotspot from my phone. Though, I am able to get a tablet to connect easily. I am able to get the Tesla to connect to hotspots on other phones. So I'm not sure which is the problem.
I had the Moto g stylus 2022 (I maybe paid $279) and didn't have any issues with it! That is until I dropped it and cracked the screen. I went on my carrier's website, they said I was eligible for an upgrade, so I got the Moto g stylus 5g 2023 for $9.99! Yeah, I thought that price was crazy too! My phone arrived yesterday and again I'm very satisfied once again!
I have a moto z4, love my phone, but the battery is going and I need a new phone. Was thinking of buying this phone. Is this comparable? I just do simple things on my phone. I don't use tik tok, is there a way to delete that app?
I actually just ordered this phone this morning. But I had a z4 a few phones ago. Logically, I think it would be a good replacement. It has a larger battery, and you should get slightly faster performance. It will be familiar to you coming from a z4.
I upgraded from 2020 Model. Disappointed. Faster processor and higher resolution brighter screen so there goes the battery life. Now I have to carry my charger everywhere. THANKS Motorola. And screen is much smaller even though they lied on the original adverts claiming it had 6.8 screen.
I love Moto phones. I have the original Moto G stylus and it was a beast. They are very well built & can take a beating. Plus you can shake them to turn the flashlight on. I'm not sure what else you want.
Thank you for the review. I had trouble with Motorola in the past with their Moto X4 and viewing this has me hesitant to ever buy from them again after watching this.
So it has expandable storage? Unlike samsung that lied and had me buy a sd card for photos. My photos is in cloud no need for sd for that. I just need sd card for apps.
I honestly think Motorola has kind of lost their way. Like, if they're gonna keep releasing the same phone year after year, there should at least be some improvements that people can appreciate, you know? Last year's stylus phone was basically identical to the 2021 model. They changed the design a bit but totally skipped out on any major improvements, especially for the stylus. What's the point of having a stylus phone if they're not even gonna focus on the stylus functionality? TCL got it right the first time with their stylus device, you've gotta give them credit. By the way, the 2022 version of the Motorola Moto G stylus was released and it actually cost way more than this new 2023 5G version. I wouldn't mind paying $400 for a Motorola phone, especially if it had good stylus functionality, better camera quality, or even just improved software for processing photos and a nicer display.
I bought this phone through verizons prepaid plans at walmart and its fast, crispy, and nice and solid. I like it 100 times better than the LG stylo. The 48mp camera is amazing if you know how to use it.
My iPhone 12 crapped out so I snagged this one as an emergency replacement. Now I know you can't really compare the two but yikes. This phone really sucks in the 4GB RAM (not disclosed) Boost variant. My old Pixel 3A XL backup phone was miles ahead of this Motorola.

got tracfone 2021 model for $35 from QVC and 2023 model from Metro for free with $40 plan. Older models have bigger screen which is nicer.
Hahaha.Good for you
What a hater , I have a Motorola ace one since 2021 and think of up grading to the stylist 2023, and had ZERO issues with it besides the battery not lasting as long as when new but that's normal, this guy just knocking this phone down I'm sure it's a lot better than all the nightmare reviews of the Samsung S23 ultra at $1200 Motorola are built solid and ya might not have all the extra bull but built to last my Motorola I'm writing this on is proof so every one watching this don't take it to heart he likes high end Samsung phones that only last 12 months right after there warranty
I still remember the reviews of the LG Stylo phones where they mentioned that there was no other phone with the uniquely cheap stylus features on the market. That time LG didn't seem to feel the need to change much in the upcoming Stylo models but then Motorola found a niche in the competition and came up with a slightly more capable stylus phone with better battery and memory and chip set. But with LGs disappearance from the smartphone world things radically changed.I think Motorola is somewhat in the same position as LG was before. They don't want to spend tons of money on a product that isn't their main selling point plus doesn't have any competition whatsoever so no surprise that many features are being repeated and carried on from the older device.
most of moto budget is in military and first responders contracts. moto is huge in the military, transportation and first responders. Number 1 contractor with military com systems.
@@GODourFATHER That is a surprise to me because I thought it was the past. My father-in-law used to work on floating oil rigs and back then the feature phones were the new hype. He told me that nearly each communication device was Motorola and only a few were from NOKIA. He said that Motorola has never let them down and had reception even far off the shores.
@@GODourFATHER That's interesting. I never thought of the modern Motorola being used in the field. I would assume they would want more rugged devices. I have seen that Samsung pitched their phone line, Xcover FieldPro, as ones designed for first responders.
I think it's a hard spot to have money to fund phones that don't return in profit. In my eyes Motorola has a lot of competition against Samsung. Samsung pushes so many phones that they have the money to back up their R&D for their phones. I think even their budget phones are getting longer software support as well.
Motorola now isn't the motorola then. They sold it to Lenovo not too long ago.
Man i remember the days when the Stylus phone were always the biggest! Like 6.6 inchea was massive back then! I used to love these. Now it's like average haha. Still a solid budget device.
That moment when the weather app request for your credit card password
I and my head appreciate the LCD screen options, the PWM on the newest and coolest is triggering my migraines😫 so these "arguably budget phones" have a place here in the tech world, especially if it helps reduce migraine triggers. Keep doing what you doing MOTO. Im leaving my Pixel 8 b/c of the PWM. Been to chiro, ENT and Neurologist for causes and for a healthy 40 year old and no apparent reasons for migraines, Ill chalk it up to the phone, b/c I have never had migraine issues until my 1st pixel.
Coño
Whhaaat ?
Im in the same boat my iphone 13 pwm is killing me gonna buy this for now
😮😮😮 I just cannot believe I am reading what you wrote right here about the migraine headaches! My half-sister went from the Motorola to the pixel 17 months ago and all she ever does is complain about her migraine headaches. I don't ever remember her speaking about having any type of pain in her head until just recently when she switched from the Motorola to the brand new Google pixel phone. I noticed my vision has become very cloudy since I began using the Samsung s23 for the last 5 months and I have even gone to the eye doctor because it is so disturbing not to be able to see out of your right eye and left eye is extremely cloudy. I will definitely start doing some research on the different types of screens. I also still have my Motorola G in 2019 and I completely forgot about it because I only used it while I went on my nightly 6 me walk and working out at the gym. Never used the phone for service only as my workout companion.
recently bought a moto g stylus 2023 few days ago and I can honestly say that I am beyond satisfied with the results, great phone, beyond reasonable price, AWESOME! 👍
Definitely an underrated device
I find phones with Qualcomm cpu roam easily in a mesh network. Mediatek based processors stay locked into a specific node so have to kill wifi and then re-enable it. So this is my choice over other moto budget offerings
For the price that you pay you want a superior phone? Dude.. you obviously don't know nothing about smartphones yet! Don't talk bad about a phone which is pretty damn good!
Exactly he is a idiot
Wow the phone looks kind of awesome. The music you played was outright awful though
I am glad that I waited until they slashed their price.
I used to have a couple of Motorola cell phones years and years ago. They lasted forever they were great great phones.
I just use my phone for very simple things. I want a decent phone for a decent price and this video was helpful
Just so everyone knows this phone is on black friday $175 right now.
I’m thinking of upgrading to this phone from iPhone 11. Is it worth it?
Nah get the edge plus 2023
Nice review, after listening I think it's the phone for me.
I'm coming from a LG stylo 6, although something like a apple pencil would nice, I'm used to this kind of stylus. Wirless charging would be nice, but again, used to it. Same with pre-instaled apps.
I'm not looking for any special features. Just a solid battery, display, camera, sound, storage, mic, and stylus. The phone checks most boxes. 👍
I would like to see the mic quality when calling and more camera test photos.
Got the phone, love it!
Interesting, I might consider this model as an upgrade to the previous one I have due to the snapdragon chip alone. Moto G's have been good to me and never experienced sluggish performance.
The Motorola g stylus is not a $1,400. You give examples of other stylus and non stylus phones performance but all the examples cost around 4 or 5 times as much. The Moto g stylus gives up many things to get to that price point. You can't compare a Chevy cobalt to a Mclaren. How many other phones out there have a stylus at this price point? How many even support a stylus at that price?
You said the OnePlus n30 was way better than this? This has a snapdragon gen 1 and recording at 4k? You still think that? The OnePlus has a 3 year old chip and no 4k!!
Despite it having an old chipset the OnePlus n30 is better. The software is way better, the cameras is better. The n30 50 watt charging is better it has more ram it has and always on display. The n30 has a higher gpu
You can speed up the phone by going into developer mode and changing all your animation speeds to .5 and you get there by tapping your build number 20x i believe
Fuck that bullshit
Great phone but for some reason the battery isn't as good as it is in my 2021 5G stylus for some reason. With my 2021 I can get through the day with about 50% left at least. Worh the 2023 its more like 30%. Maybe it's just my phone.
Edit. Dark mode/ or the system update has helped the battery a lot..
I bounce around on what phone I carry, between a couple of iPhones, a Samsung, and the Motorola that I'm on now which is the Motorola One 5g UW Ace from 2021 which is still a fine phone. This phone finds itself in the rotation specifically because of the software experience, which in this case is Android 12. Since it started on Android 10 and got 2 major OS updates, that's pretty good for Motorola. There's absolutely nothing clunky about the software experience. It is practically a basic android OS with a few gestures thrown in. That's what makes it a refreshing change from my Samsung's One UI. Even with the phone running a Snapdragon 750g from a couple of years ago it still runs incredibly smooth.
I have the moto one ace right now, thinking of replacing it with the stylus. How do you compare the two?
@@comgeekputerwhy do you want to replace the moto ace 5g or are they too old now
I have the Motorola ace since 2021 and have never had any problems runs great besides the battery slowly losing its charging ability but that's normal over time batteries loose that
These Gen Zzzz'erz and anyone under 25-30 are simply lazy bums that want everything tailored to them right out of a box. I used a rotary phone to check on where I was going to hang out and had a blast. Even though I'm 43, we still had one. 🫠
It seems like the carrier versions of this phone don’t have fm radio
Ooh if that's true. Then I'm glad I got mine from Amazon.
Xfinity Mobile has FM radio
The one at cricket wireless doesn’t have it
My dream phone would be a phone that looks like the Razor V3 and have Google Maps. Past that, I would like for it to hook up to Windows Link or Phone link.
Other than that, It just needs to make calls, receive calls and have voice texting what little texting I do on a phone. I want to be able to fold it up and shove it in my pocket.
This is the dream phone for me.
EDIT: That little Stylus with a program like Picsay Pro is amazing when editing pictures. Just thought I would add that in there.
EDIT again: I just saw you can buy the Motorola G Stylus 5G (2023) at Cricket new customer for $39.99. That is not bad compared to $1800.00 for something else.
I bought one and sadly had to return it. I always have a really bad cell signal from our AT&T tower (only AT&T in our rural area). I wanted to be able to make Wifi calls with this phone, but this phone does not support it. The phone itself is top notch with great speed and awesome cameras. Loved it.
The comment about there being an AT&T tower says it all. AT&T has always had a low budget because it has a huge number of retirees it supports
I paid $199 unlocked, I had the 2022 and I LOVED IT, I'm hoping to feel the same about this one, I'm pretty simple, my 2 biggest gripes w the old one was the lack of stereo sound, and lack of NFC technology, both were fixed, I have massive fingers my right index finger is approx size 11 therefore the stylus is helpful, I'm artistic and love to draw, sometimes from start to finish on the SKETCHBOOK app, other times on paper then upload a photo of it and color that app, but point is, the experience has been very positive, especially for the $200 price tag, and not being a major techy, great phone for the price.. 256g storage is great, 6g ram is pretty snappy.
Your type of overly critical review is why we can thank device manufacturers for changing something every 6 minutes.
Horrible review. It’s a budget phone. Quite good. Obviously this guy is an Apple fanboy.
I agree and disagree 399 is to much for this phone at 250 its a good deal I switched from moto stylus 4g 2022 to s23 for 520 it's so much better now
Im so happy I've gotten this phone for free 😍. Doesn't get better than that. And Motorola makes great phones. You trippin.
Stop hating on Motorola there are there own brand and can be how they want to be. Just because they are not like Samsung or apple that does not mean that they are bad. It is a good company and price for performance is better then Samsung every brand has there own quirks and that is not a bad thing it just makes the brand better in my eyes. That just means that the brand it is it own and you have differences that are difference from other company's. if all the brands had no difference then it would just be boring.
Why do most people on seem to miss out that 4G is passé and this is a 5G phone...
Motorola is the best android phone I have ever used I love the gestures of it
Motorola edge plus 2023 ill be getting
@@moshimoshixiii what makes it better
It’s just the fluidity of it and the way all the gestures work
unlike my galaxy flag ship phones that only last a few year before crapping out, my family and myself have moto phones 7 plus years old going strong. ive dropped my moto phone hundreds of times onto concrete and never a cracked screen....to me, moto phones are though as hell and thats what i prefer over a bunch of other features that $1000 plus phones have that only last a few years or one drop.i also like the no blout ware that flag phones are known for. wireless charging would be nice for the moto though.
I think it's about the stylus. You are paying more to get a stylus. If you don't need a stylus, you going always get another cheaper moto phone. Personally though, I don't mind the skin. Outside of a few annoying bloatware apps that can be uninstalled I've always seen the skin as very close to stock Android with very little performance limitations. Was surprised at your take to be honest. I really enjoy the moto skin mainly because it's pretty simplistic and it feels non intrusive, minus your weird weather app thing 😂
can you cerate files and folders using the stylus like you do with Samsung notes? Also can you port Samsung notes over or would I need to create new files all over again if I switch? Tks.
Love your channel man. But dude, you hate on anything under 750 bucks. You have to realize most people aren't using their phones to game or take professional pictures. For 99% of the population, this is an excellent phone. The camera is way better than expected, and it has some cool features I wasn't expecting. Very happy, especially at this price.
This guy is just mad . The phone is great
Thanks and good video For me its good i been using da lg stylus 6 for yearsss and getting Motorola free so i can't complain i barely use my phone and i have da Motorola g pure now as well and i like it only thing is volume is low da stylus is louder so yeah gonna get it 😊
is there anything similarly priced with a better camera?
A pixel A series
I love these types of phones so ofc I'll love it. I dont do social media aside the occasional TH-cam thats about it. I do use Spotify aswell. But other than that this is the perfect phone for me no complaints from this old dude lol.
Well...just delete the junk and enjoy the 3.5mm jack, the 120hz and the 4k video for $249...
I've had this phone for the past month as my second line. I love it, best android phone I've had. Screen is big and bright. The built-in stylus is sure handy for taking notes on the fly. I have had many Samsung and Motorola phones, this phone is the best I've had. I had bought the s24 ultra on my main line and returned it because I didn't like all the AI that really didn't work that well. I haven't had a chance to mess with the camera, so I can't comment on it.
3:50 the mewing 😭
I'm probably going to upgrade to this and it will be my last year with Motorola. Still using my G Power '21.
same bro my last year or 2 with motorola
@@calebalexander2359 They're great budget devices but I need something a little more powerful. I'll probably move on to Google pixels eventually but I'm about to try out the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series phones because they look dope.
I love Motorola, I recently bought a Moto G Power but it is not compatible with Fortnite. Does anyone know if G Stylus 2023 is compatible?
I had ordered this phone today. Can't wait to get it next week!
now it's $250 :)
And yes I am. Coming from the moto g7
AGREED! After almost a year in using this phone, I loved my Motorolas back in the day, but under Lenovo's leadership, it is lacking any devotion that rivals anything from Motorola's leading-edge history, and this phone is proof that Lenovo tried to fulfil a price point with little to no thought of the customer experience or how its cheap hardware choices affect said UX.
I've been using this phone for a year now because of its price and oddly, its name. I don't care about my phones, if they do what I want at a reasonable rate I'm fine. I switched carriers and came from a generic low budget samsung phone. I picked this because I hadn't seen Motorola in a long time and it was cheap. Other than the materials (I hate most iphones but my wifes phone feels so much better) it has been a potent ass phone for next to nothing. I don't even have a case and it still looks the same as the day I bought it. It's never been slow, its never had a hiccup. Just works surprisingly fast, has a good camera, and 5G. It just does what you want, you don't have to think about it, like the good appliance it is. As for the stylus, well that was a bonus and I only use it to write sarcastic messages on my screen to people talking to me.
I just bought one today, looking forward for it to get delivered! $100 on an existing Fi line.
Do you have now? Care to share your experience?
@@ChambersMims I do, it's great in a lot of aspects. For $100, it's great. The battery seems like it lasted a little longer on my last one, but this does have a bigger screen. One issue I am having though is that I cannot get my Tesla to connect to the hotspot from my phone. Though, I am able to get a tablet to connect easily. I am able to get the Tesla to connect to hotspots on other phones. So I'm not sure which is the problem.
I currently have a moto g8 power, so im upgrading to this
I had the Moto g stylus 2022 (I maybe paid $279) and didn't have any issues with it! That is until I dropped it and cracked the screen. I went on my carrier's website, they said I was eligible for an upgrade, so I got the Moto g stylus 5g 2023 for $9.99! Yeah, I thought that price was crazy too! My phone arrived yesterday and again I'm very satisfied once again!
Well, I made up My mind about THIS Phone 5 seconds in the video...
I have a moto z4, love my phone, but the battery is going and I need a new phone. Was thinking of buying this phone. Is this comparable? I just do simple things on my phone. I don't use tik tok, is there a way to delete that app?
I actually just ordered this phone this morning. But I had a z4 a few phones ago. Logically, I think it would be a good replacement. It has a larger battery, and you should get slightly faster performance. It will be familiar to you coming from a z4.
I upgraded from 2020 Model. Disappointed. Faster processor and higher resolution brighter screen so there goes the battery life. Now I have to carry my charger everywhere. THANKS Motorola. And screen is much smaller even though they lied on the original adverts claiming it had 6.8 screen.
Why they put glass on the back of the phone like apple, just confuses me.
The gap all around the back frame makes me question the water repellent claim. If you look at it from the side youll see the gap i refer to.
Motorola was popular back then. I remember when I had the walkie talkie.
Unfortunately, the charge brick didn't come with mine. Just the charge cable. To keep down the price point I suppose. But how did you get yours? lol
Mine either
U kidding me...the stylus 2022 5G had a 10w charging?!
I love Moto phones. I have the original Moto G stylus and it was a beast. They are very well built & can take a beating. Plus you can shake them to turn the flashlight on. I'm not sure what else you want.
It's actually a solid phone
I just bought one. At $249.00 CAN which is a bargain. Tired of paying Thousands of Dollars for what I don't really needs.
That's a good deal! You arent the only one who feels that way 😅
Watching this on my moto g 5 phone
No finger prints
Im getting a Samsung Galaxy S9. What are your thoughts on it?
Great video 👍💯
Lmao...... NO. At least get a galaxy S10 or s20
I have the s9+ and got it 5 years ago. Still love it but thinking I’m probably buying Motorola tomorrow
@@whysoserious4464 I'm getting it for free. I wish it was a S10. But it's not and going to love it.
@@whysoserious4464
Really wishing I would have now
@@cherylvanderlaan2734dont
Thank you for the review. I had trouble with Motorola in the past with their Moto X4 and viewing this has me hesitant to ever buy from them again after watching this.
Who's watching this on a moto g stylus?
My Motorola cost £120 and that's a steal it's an underrated phone
Where'd you get it for the price?
How is it on running apps?
Just ordered this 😊
Lots of personal rubbish 😂😂
Does this phone have the NFC option
I like how you can swipe to go back on Motorola phones i wish this option was on Samsung Phones
According to the website, the 2024 moto g styles will be 6.7 screen size?
So it has expandable storage? Unlike samsung that lied and had me buy a sd card for photos. My photos is in cloud no need for sd for that. I just need sd card for apps.
BUY A CAMARA IF YOU WANT A USE FOR PHOTOS, AND A RADIO IF YOU WANT TO EAR MUSIC
I honestly think Motorola has kind of lost their way. Like, if they're gonna keep releasing the same phone year after year, there should at least be some improvements that people can appreciate, you know? Last year's stylus phone was basically identical to the 2021 model. They changed the design a bit but totally skipped out on any major improvements, especially for the stylus. What's the point of having a stylus phone if they're not even gonna focus on the stylus functionality? TCL got it right the first time with their stylus device, you've gotta give them credit. By the way, the 2022 version of the Motorola Moto G stylus was released and it actually cost way more than this new 2023 5G version. I wouldn't mind paying $400 for a Motorola phone, especially if it had good stylus functionality, better camera quality, or even just improved software for processing photos and a nicer display.
Should I keep the 2022 or go with the 2023 while the Black Friday deals is on? I want an unlocked phone and the duel speakers
I bought this phone through verizons prepaid plans at walmart and its fast, crispy, and nice and solid. I like it 100 times better than the LG stylo. The 48mp camera is amazing if you know how to use it.
can u use nano sim?
My iPhone 12 crapped out so I snagged this one as an emergency replacement. Now I know you can't really compare the two but yikes. This phone really sucks in the 4GB RAM (not disclosed) Boost variant. My old Pixel 3A XL backup phone was miles ahead of this Motorola.
does this have nfc?!
yes
