TL;DR: there are countless better options out there for $499. 📲 Buuuut you can at least get the Moto G Stylus at a discount: Moto G Stylus 5G on Amazon: amzn.to/3wN87Xf Moto G Stylus 4G: amzn.to/3LHNLTG TCL Stylus 5G from T-Mobile: www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone/tcl-stylus-5g?sku=610214672704
Trade in of my Samsung A42 through Motorola third party netted me a $60 discount on the sale price of $349.99 with free shipping. $289.99 is not bad for a Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) direct from Motorola 😉
I totally agree! At the $500 price it was not worth it, but I picked mine up for $329 on prime day and at that price it is a steal. I love Motorola phones and have been using the G power phones for a number of year. I went with the G stylus, because sadly, the G power phones have been lacking in the past couple of years. My G stylus is the unlocked version with the 8GB/256GB model plus the extra 256GB SD card that came with. I don't really use the stylus, but I love the phone and with Motorola now offering 3 years of security updates, I will be using this phone through 2025 easily.
I've had mine for a few weeks now. It's an excellent phone for the price, great screen, excellent refresh rate and wonderful quality build. Beautiful phone and I picked two up for $299 each with an additional free 256gb SD card. This dude is being way too critical about the most unnecessary things, the stylus is great quality and I love the weight and size of it. I don't think this guy likes Motorola and he makes it well known.
I currently have the moto g stylus 5g 2022. I did purchase it for 500 dollars unlocked. The phone isn't perfect but what phone is? No phone is worth the price that's advertised. This is a really solid device. Stock android experience, as close to a pixel as you can get. 8 gb of ram which is expandable to 10gb which is awesome. 256 gb of internal memory with expandable memory SD card. Solid cameras, and a lot of features that some flagships don't have. The unlocked version is the big boy of the Carrier version because you get the best. The 695 g processor is a solid and capable processor. Overall, this phone to me is worth it. Good review but because of what you're getting, this is an exceptional device to me.
I have a moto G stylus 5G 2022 to personally it's a great phone I have had mine since last September I have had no issues with it.. I personally love my phone and I came from iphone 12 pro max it took time getting used to android but in less than 24 hours I learned to love this phone
Let me guess, you're not exactly a fan of Motorola. Personally I think you were a little too critical of a phone that offers as much as it does. $500 for a smartphone is nothing by today's standards so I think it is priced just right for what you get.
I agree that he's quite biased against Motorola.... This model basically checks all the boxes to give people what they want..... Sony wants $1,600 for a phone with great cameras that gets so hot they have a warning to not hold it.... Pixel has used the same camera for 3 years..... Apple may get rid of their notch.... It's ok & may be better to have a plastic phone.... Premium Means Expensive Not Better....I obviously am very happy with Midrange devices.... Without taking away things I regularly use & enjoy
All the Mid-range & Budget phones start Higher & are mostly sold thru carriers cheap... I think these reviewer's get mad being they paid the full price to get it 1st.... It's a Business Expense - to right off their Taxes....
I already bought mine for half off, and appreciate the critical review. I wasn't going to buy it at full price. But for me having the best capacity in the stylus line within this (discounted) price range was a must for my work. I'm an artist, and need to sketch out ideas on the fly sometimes, do lots of visual planning and vision board type stuff. So I do not regret my purchase. That said, I wholeheartedly agree that styluses today should have at least SOME pressure sensitivity. (Lighter pressure for thinner & lighter pigment, heavier pressure for a thicker line & more opaque pigment) High tech dedicated artist tablet pens today run as low as $15. I don't see a reason why they can't/won't do this. Artists would gobble them up, especially being a more affordable option. They'd have a niche cornered all to themselves. Drawing tablets can be expensive, and the affordable ones need to be hooked up to your computer to run. If you don't have a laptop you are stuck at your stationary pc a lot. Pressure sensitivity aside. I'm excited to be able to sketch quick ideas for projects away from my computer, and still do it on a device so that I can quickly send/upload those files from and a decent enough camera to even snap photos of irl sketches to edit further on my device if needed.
Got the styles g 5g for 60 bucks for switching to metro, I still think it was a deal for me. I had a phone that was almost 10 years old and I did t want to spend more than 200 bikcs and I needed a phone line and this ended up being the phone I choose and really liked out of the bunch that was available as I didn't really want an iPhone. That being said I agree. 400 bucks is a lot for a phone like this but I think there's a bigger reason, it's to keep it cheap for the phone companies who want to sell phones at a price from msrp to retail price in store for people with a tighter budget, to entice people like me to get a phone like this. I mean for 60 bucks this phone is amazing, but other than people like me, who else is this phone for, other than the budget crowd of things, if the budget crowd that this phone is being offered to won't pay it? hence why this phone was like 60 bucks for me and people switching it's to get people to switch to new phone companies, and that's why I bought it because I was getting a new phone line when I previously did not have one and needed a new phone. So if you need a new phone but not a new line or don't want to switch companies, u don't need this phone if you can afford to pay more that 500 bucks, because most switch price phones, will cost less than retail price of the phone, but if on a tighter budget and u want to switch and can't spend more than 100 bucks, this phone might just be for you
I ordered it this week for $350, and for that.. it's been great. This is to replace the Z Play my dad uses, and it's a decent upgrade for him (the Z play's battery is finally dying). I typically carry flagship devices, but overall.. i'd be fine using this.
You can get it for under 200 from a carrier although with less storage. Also I don't see the larger screen bezel as a negative since - at least in my experience - having tiny bezels makes it difficult to touch the edge of the screen consistently once you put a case on .
I'm eligible for upgrade so going to pick this up soon. Mainly for the 5G, but I already have the 2020 G Stylus and it has been a great phone. I only have to pay $220 for it so I think that's fair. I was an LG fanboy for the longest time, I had all the LG Stylos so Motorola has the same quality and feel I'm used to if that makes sense. I miss LG phones but Motorola is doing good so far. Looking forward to this one.
I still use the 2020 g stylus. I don't want to move on just yet. Holding out for next year. Also I think I'd be annoyed by the finger scanner to unlock the phone. Being forced to use one finger
This is presently going for half price $249.99 direct from Motorola. I'm considering it - upgrading from a Moto G7 that I've had for a little over 3 years. Still working perfectly. I wish this one had stereo speakers, as the OP mentioned, and I'm also concerned it won't charge as fast as my G7. Specs say this comes with a 10W turbocharger. My G7 came with a 15W turbocharger and it charges super fast.
You can purchase a higher wattage charger. I use a Samsung but my charger is 15+ more watts than what's required for fast charging. I get full battery in 45 minutes
I got this phone about 6 months ago for (better sit down) $179US. Great phone. Was an iPhone user for years but got fed up with having a very expensive device that they made less and less mine and more theirs. Walmart's where I got the Moto. It's locked to Simple Mobile which I think is now part of Verizon. I already had SM as my carrier so I didn't care, but now SM's rates are too high mine's $55US/mo. unlimited everything. Which was good at the time that I got the plan 4 or 5 years ago. I'd get it unlocked now and shop around for a better You should be able to get a lower rate these days. Beware of plans that routinely throttle speeds during "times of high traffic". Peace.
Just finished watching the first moto g stylus vid, just for context I have the 2020 g stylus. I realized that the camera was better and worse for the new 5g one. My camera is able to go up to 4k but the colors are worse. I don't understand Motorola lol. Mine also has that dual speaker action lol. Also don't understand why they got rid of that. Maybe inflation, who knows?
I like the 6.8" screen. I just bought the 8G/256G blue version on Amazon for $349. Had to replace my 2020 Moto G Power my dog ate. The Moto Power phones have been crap the last couple of years.
I wish LG didn't go out of business. I feel they would have stepped up their game to this point (Stylo 8) and it would have rivaled Samsung in terms if a budget option. Hopefully someone sees the real demand and ups their game and delivers something for us stylus freaks! Great vid as always brotha!
People get on my nerves because they try to compare these phones to a 1500/2000 thousand phones such as Apple and Samsung. No, this phone is not like those but I have this phone and it works so amazing for me. I have had no issues whatsoever. They really out did themselves with this phone in my opinion. The phone is well worth the price you pay and you get what you pay for, however idk where this price is coming from because I got mine for 299 and it's truly a wonderful phone, it takes excellent pictures, provides me with more than enough space to store everything and the battery life on these are amazing also. I won't ever go back to Apple or Samsung. Beware of these reviews because I have seen a few that are waaaaay off when reviewing a phone.
I think for this to be really worth the $500 and to compete with it's competitors it would need: OLED screen that is brighter Official IP certified water and dust resistant (not this "water repellent coating" bullcr*p or whatever Motorola calls it) At least 3 years of software updates More powerful processor and bring back dual speakers!
got 128g version from costco for ca$349, absolutely worth every penny: im not looking for a fancy phone, just browsing, youtubing and some social media stuff。based on my shop around study, this guy probably the best value in terms of $ wise. also ive to give thumb up for its battery-last really long
I'm on Fi and they have their own spec for this, it has the Snapdragon 695 but only 4GB RAM and 128GB storage. It's $149. I've had 3 of the Moto G phones in a row and decided to try the Samsung S22, which I was really expecting to feel like much more of an upgrade. It was a relative bargain at $299, but I really don't get along with the Samsung skin of Android. I was looking forward to the much better update schedule, but a long service life isn't much of a plus if you don't like using the phone. At least there is Lineage OS, which I've never found available for any of my Moto G phones.
These Motorola phones always end up getting discounted pretty quickly, so it's priced on par with a budget phone rather than a mid range. 249 for the 8gb/256+256 unlocked version is a lot of phone for cheap. For me, I'm so used to Moto's karate chop for flashlight and twist for camera that any other phone I just end up shaking around and not getting anywhere.
I'm giving it a try. Got one off eBay for $125. And a Lifetime Boost Unlimited Plan for $25 a month. And they say, its pretty much UNLIMITED. And if you keep it under 100 Gigs of High Speed a month. You shouldn't have a problem. They frown on anything above that. But that's a ton of data. Overall, pretty cheap for the package. So, we'll see 😊
Thank you for this! It was super informative and helpful! I love how detailed you are in your work. Good news! It looks like T-Mobile is selling this for $299. But the only con is it is 6GB of RAM. But same model, specs and all for $299. It is free on a new line, but can also be bought outright.
Just purchased from Amazon to upgrade an old Moto g7 power. Price has dropped a lot, its down to $150 and with a Flash sale, I got mine for $114. It hasn't arrived yet, but I think it was a good buy and huge upgrade to the g7.
I have some very specific questions as to how the 2022 vs 2020 vs 2021. I LOVED Everything about the 2020 version. The only thing that could have been improved is making the same exact device 5G and change nothing else. Unfortunately, that's not what's happened. 2021 camera zoom looks super grainy, even at just 1x. My old 5mpx camera zooms looked better. Also it doesn't do the wide shot action video. What about the 2022? Did it bring any of these qualities back? You said that it's still the single speaker from the 2021. But how is sound quality during a phone call? The 2021 speaker setting for phone calls while driving is practically useless, and that's when you need it the most. Obviously the 2020 dual dolby speaker was infinitely superior. But lacking that, is the 2022 speaker at least more usable than the 2021? Similarly, you mentioned the screen being more dim than you liked - but how does it compare to previous versions of the Moto Stylus? Is it the same or worse? Lastly, screen durability - Motorola has bounced around with Gorilla glass. How would this screen compare in terms of crack resistance? Thanks in advance 😊
Damn ... macro photos are the only the photos I take with a cell phone. For anything else I use a real camera. Nice thing about the Nexus 6 (aka Motorola Nexus X) was two front mounted speakers. I do like the idea that the retained the headphones jack ... the main reason I will not consider a Google Pixel phone. When reviewing smart phones, it seems no one ever covers the device's primary function: How well it works as a phone ... background noise canceling, clear audio (ear piece and microphone), volume, hearing-aid compatibility, number blocking, headset options ... stop thinking of it as a game machine and consider it as a communications device. Sadly an old fashioned Maw Bell analog desk phone usually works better as a phone (clarity and reliability) than any cell phone.
Im on my 3rd moto g variant, since 2020. I buy last years model, and have paid upto $190 on my first, (lasted a year and half) The second made it 2 years and the unreplaceable battery swelled up and knocked the back of the phone loose. I have this phone in this video...cricket online $59 with minor plan adjustment. No way would I pay more than 125 for these disposable phones. I do run the heck out of it aswell as the others I've had. Hours a day of streams/podcasts. Its my TV set.
Actually I paid $500 for the Google Pixel 7 last year. It SUCKS. I should have gotten this phone. Broke the Pixel, now I bought this as a replacement for $230 not expecting much. It's way faster, larger, better than my pixel. Including picture quality. So yea tweak the settings a bit and get a Moto Stylus... Even my husband w an iPhone 14 pro is impressed w this phone.
@@partycrashers22 another user here. Liked the phone since day one. But lately battery won't last 24h with regular/fair use, it can last longer than that if I barely use the phone. Another "issue" that I'm having recently..it the ram. When I got several apps (3-4) in the background or move to another the phone lags for a 1-2 secs and then continues. It's not all the time, but annoys me when it happens. For these reason I'm considering upgrading. Considering edge'21 and this one, reasons...similar specs, fair upgrade from my current phone and currently same price $350. It's within my budged
@@haeckx94x hey. I bought the 2022 5g stylus last month. I really like the faster processor. Nothing lags. I have no problem with apps crashing and the battery lasts longer. Just took me a bit to get used to the size. I still prefer the 2020 size model. But if moto pushes their game in 2023 for the stylus I'm def gonna get that
@@partycrashers22 I didn't get the update, because I read about other users of the 2020 Motorola Moto G Stylus complaining about problems with the "update". Knowing what I know about this depraved system, it is probably intentional to get consumers to purchase a Motorola that is inferior in features to the Motorola Moto G Stylus 2020.
I never pay any attention to what full list price is. I just got 2 of these for $200 each at T-Mobile. And you can get the same price from Amazon. It is NOT $499. Period.
This phone is only 9.99 right now if you switch to boost mobile awesome deal. I’ve used boost in the past and never had an issue with their service other than streaming videos is lower quality.
The real Monty unlocked is $350 (9/1/22) and NOT a stripped carrier model. Full 256gb, 8mb ram, full power processor, 120 refresh & INCLUDES 256gb SD CARD! So 512gb total memory. Apples & Oranges comparing Carrier model phones that have 64or128gb memory, 4gb ram, dumb down processor, no 256gb SDcard, etc
Just picked this up from Verizon with 128 gig storage for $36.00. At $1.00 per month for 36 months I'll take it. Now just need to pick up an extra 256 gig slot card.
I bought mine the 2022 model I can't complain for what I bought it for directly from Motorola and unlocked but people don't understand though is it's hard to find a good all-around budget phone for that can have USB type c out or / HDMI to hook to a touch screen monitor I use it all the time I don't understand why this guy has so much hate for this phone it was always going to come down in price because there's other phones that are better for the same price but when you can get a phone for less than $130 brand new I mean what else do you want.
I just got this phone to use a stylus. I hope I can buy an additional one that feels much better. But I got the phone for $5/month for 2 years, so I'm not complaining. Just wanted something to quickly doodle on. But my Samsung A71, I still have is better in most things... Just can't draw on it. 😅 Why I didn't get a tablet or something to draw, don't have the budget currently.
I didn't get it yet but I just bought one for 10 bucks. Plus a 40 dollar plan, so 50 bucks cause I already have a plan with boost and you have to get a plan in order to get the phone for 10 bucks so I guess I'm going to have 2 numbers for a month ha
I just read specs that claim it has a "8 MP ultra-wide + macro" is this the macro you said they removed? or is it something else? I use macro on my current camera to zoom in and take close up shots, not sure if that's the one you meant that Motorola removed from this stykus phone??
Love this phone, 120hz of graphics, better than over priced icraps.. Samsung is alright but still way to expensive. If camera is not ur thing this phone is epic bang for your buck.
Grabbed this when switching to cricket - $20.00 so I got 2 lines, 2 phones. I need to keep it for 6 months before it unlocks, which is fine by me since this service works the best where I live and roam. A bit of an upgrade from my Moto 5G Ace. I've had it for a month and so far, few problems.
As a of now, I can't find a better mid ranger than this Moto G. It's on sale and it has 8gb of ram, huge 256gb storage + SD, and a headphone jack. You get updates up till 2025, not too bad.
It really annoying how bad some of these reviews are. This guy just spends the whole review blandly bash the price that no one will actually pay for it. Then Talks about how other phones are better for reason that won't effect 95% users or are completely subjective opinions. The the tag line literally says don't buy cause the price when Motorola phones are always on sale, I would absolutely fire this guy for this review, it is awful.
Do What? I've owned 4 or 5 of these stylus phones with them starting off at just over $3oo. Loved it, hence the reason I bought more. Now I'm a little ruff on my phone's sometimes. When they start acting up and you have to do everything on three times in a row to get anything done with them. I have no problem in slamming it down on the pavement and stomping it to cell phone death! But it should not get to that point in three months! And 3 months is the best I've gotten out of them. Out of the last three I've gotten, two of them wouldn't even hook up to the wifi in Walmart so I could set them up. My old phone would, but not the brand new one that I just took out the box. So I returned them, after having to get load few times at the return desk, they gave me my money back. Went to different Walmart in a different town, and got another one. This time it would pick up and connect to the wifi. So great! Other two must have been in a bad bunch! WRONG! I'v e had it for almost two weeks now, and without a dought, it's the biggest piece o 14:46 f crap phone I've ever owned. And that's alot! I've got a bag of old cell phones. On back to before the flip phones when they were tiny! And this phone is crap!!When texting a message, I can click on a letter and the whole key board disappears, so then I have to go click on the key board to open it back up just to click on one more letter before it disappears again. It acts like it's got a virus or something. But I downloaded the number one rared the number one rared virus rem
It just cutl th. Peme off and shut me down again. At lel ast when I got it back up and going, I don't have to do one number at a time. But I've added the number one rated virus program and it says no viruses. I'm not getting paid for this review! But it's a piece of crap. If you buy it, you best hold on to that receipt!!!! First came out, good phone! The latest version, piece of crap!!
What about how it functions on a provider? Does it drop calls? Hotspot capabilities, Does the unlocked U.S. version have a problem with any of the providers? What about a battery replacement? Is it a nightmare to replace? This phone sells for $249 with 256 internal and comes with a 256 SDcard. Is it better than an older Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge?
Mine drops calls constantly. I had an older version that started dropping calls so I just went to upgrade thinking it was my old phone but nope - my brand new phone is even worse !!! I'm returning it tomorrow!!!
@@rachkbill Do you have a strong tower signal? Sometimes if you also have WiFi calling it might switch to WiFi calling instead of the tower and drop the call. Had a friend with an iPhone who had the problem. It turned off the WiFi calling and no more dropped calls.
Truly have to say how happy i am that you finally made this review... i actually paid just 10 dollars for it plus activation and plan with metro by tmobile... Kinda hard to believe that it was even priced at 500 at all. Also have to point out that i dont think the phone has a snapdragon processor i think its a helio processor and things such as emulation gaming is really not that fun at all but its still a great phone for someone who came from using a lg stylo or something like me but thing i find the most important about a phone is display and performance yet what i find one of the biggest bummers about the phone is that the phone has one of the worst speakers on a phone ive ever had. It LITERALLY goes from low to LOUD nd i just cant seem to figure why the speakers is like that at all. ALSO i just noticed that the phone has a horrible brightness ratio like especially during the hot HOT heatwave summer of 2022 i just couldnt seem to deal with the glare of the phone at all it almost makes the phone totally unwatchable.... definitely a hard buy if im to recommend and like you said definitely dont buy the phone for 500 dollars.... LAST but not least the performance of gamig on this phone REALLY disappointed me when i was trying to emulate 3ds on it. Yet again it just didnt make total sense to me a phone i had tried out from last year the oneplus NORD n200 performed a little better during emulation than the moto g stylus. All i can say is that im truly happy you did this review and you totaly convinced me that im gonna somehow get the OnePlus Nord n20. after all it was the phone i wanted all along but now i know that i truly want the phone. THANK YOU AGAIN brother
My wife is getting the pixel 6a, and I'm getting this moto g stylus 5g, specs wise it seemed to me the mgs 5g camera has 38 more megapixels, my mgs 5g was 250, hers will end up costing us 360 after discounts.
Megapixels don't mean anything. As you probably have found out by now, the Pixel 6a takes better pictures than the Motorola. Sorry. Motorola makes good phones but they still have a long way to go when it comes to cameras.
Meanwhile the samsung galaxy s21 only has a 12 mp camera and this one has a 50mp camera. Looks like a great phone for the price this guy has apparently failed to do any research at all The rear camera on the A53 is only 32 mp. I mean other than a screen and camera as long as it runs fast and has 5g what else do you need? A speaker? Really I use headphones Im not one of those meth heads who walks around listening to his phone like it is a boombox from the 1980s. If someone has a comparable phone with a 50mp camera and a stylus pen go ahead and post it
@@nenew1330 I do admit the cameras are meh, I have to use Gcam to get better results. In all honesty, the best way to describe the A52s is it's a well rounded phone, it doesn't exceed anything but it surely is acceptable in everything, when you remember it's a ~300 dollar phone. My reason for buying the A52s was really because of the Snapdragon 778G, which destroys the 695s you'd find in a number of phones.
I think you completely missed the point of the phones like this. It wasn't meant to be a flagship Stylus experience. For $250 right now it's meant to be a better value for your money. Expecting flagship experience on a budget is very unrealistic. You know at a $250 price point you are going to be making some compromises. But if you are looking at this phone it means you can't afford a flagship. I will agree at $500 this is a much tougher sell. At that price you can get a year or two old flagship. However at $250 right now I think it's a good deal.
I just want the basic cell with louder speakers than my Samsung galaxy prepaid from Walmart like 3 years ago. I think it was around 70 bucks. It does all the things I want except I want music quality speakers. I hate I can’t hear someone talking to you on the phone or they hear you well. That’s my main goal and a camera that would take great concert photos which is one other frustrating part of phones. My phone does fine except for concert lighting. If it had a great mic that’d be great but want to be no more than 175 but lower the better but quality matters on just the hearing quality. Any suggestion. I will probably stay around the 64 or 128 go. I think mine might be 32 so a tiny bit more would be great . Phone is always saying I have 1.2 gb of 2gb in memory (652gb left) and uses 15.3 gb of 16gb. Available 688mb storage. I’d like to hold some more audio recording on the fly. I’d like the right option. Any ideas?
Got one in Jan. Microphone not worked from day one have to use a bluetooth device to talk on phone for people to hear you. Tried resets etc, no microphone. Screen is so dim I can NOT see it in any kind of sunlight, and now it will not accept a charge from any of my cords. Huge waste of money.
I'm not much of a pen user but I'm a huge fan of a headphone jack.. I've been offered other phones with my carrier but idk. Just love the headphone jack option. So this phone is great for me . I'm thinking about it
I mean. You can get the Motorola Edge at that price point... But you can actually get this phone for $299 now on all Carriers... THAT is well worth it... There are BARELY any phones as good as this at that price point.
@techdaily hey great vid! Can you tell me if the stylus pen is able to write in very thin style---a setting to change pen thickness? I want to be able to take a screenshot of my notebook paper and use the stylus pen to write on the lines (and very small as well). Thanks!
The 2021 moto g stylus had AMAZING speakers. ⚠️Unfortunately, the 2022 version only has the ONE speaker and the sound quality is terrible! Why the hell would they take away the dual speakers? 🙅If you're in a mildly noisy atmosphere, then forget it. Even with the volume cranked ALL the way up, you will not be able to hear podcasts, movies or music. 👎 Thank you for this video- the next cell phone I shop for WILL have dual speakers.
My little Samsung is a few yrs old & now cant get calls tho all else works ok. Only thing I hate is low sound & someone stole my JC speaker. No phones w bad sound for me no matter what else I get! (Getting older ears I think!)
I have a Moto g 5g phone....it is brand new but seems to take forever to charge....I am using a third-party tower where I can plug both electrical plugs and it has it USB slots to plug in the cord...also using 3rd party power cord as original was too short....is there such a thing as different cords cause when I plug my phone on wife's cord it seems to charge a lot faster
I just recently bought this phone, as did my wife for herself. She had the older model which was 3 or more years old and compared to mine I thought hers was pretty impressive. We're old farts and I myself pretty much suck with cell phones but mine was a $70 Celero 5g phone that I bought a year or two ago through Boost Mobile. We've used Virgin Mobile no-contract service since the dinosaur age, of course Virgin Mobile was taken over by Boost Mobile so I bought the Celero just to take advantage of the 5g network because my prior cell was 3g. SLOW! My wife dropped her phone and cracked the screen so she explored the Boost web site and found that she was eligible for an upgrade so she upgraded to this from her older version while I decided to upgrade to this after plunking mine into the toilet while doing my business. It fell out of my pocket while flushing and there was no way I was ever taking it to my face again. I've got to say, I'm really very happy with this phone for the $99 upgrade price.
Another review on this phone? That's like 3 reviews on the same phone now I'm confused on which one is best for me to watch since I'm getting this phone delivered Wednesday. But at least you get more ad revenue and more clicks right. What's funny is you criticize this phone for being the same identical device as the previous two models they've come out with just slightly different and yet your review of the phone is the exact same thing because you have like three different reviews that are just slightly different than the others you've put out on the same phone
TL;DR: there are countless better options out there for $499. 📲 Buuuut you can at least get the Moto G Stylus at a discount:

Moto G Stylus 4G: amzn.to/3LHNLTG
TCL Stylus 5G from T-Mobile: www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone/tcl-stylus-5g?sku=610214672704
I got this phone and I enjoy it. I had an iPhone and I didn’t enjoy it as much as I do my Motorola.
Trade in of my Samsung A42 through Motorola third party netted me a $60 discount on the sale price of $349.99 with free shipping. $289.99 is not bad for a Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) direct from Motorola 😉
It's free at Metro
@@louisbailey9569 You service fee makes up for the phone price. So, basically it isn't free.
I totally agree! At the $500 price it was not worth it, but I picked mine up for $329 on prime day and at that price it is a steal. I love Motorola phones and have been using the G power phones for a number of year. I went with the G stylus, because sadly, the G power phones have been lacking in the past couple of years.
My G stylus is the unlocked version with the 8GB/256GB model plus the extra 256GB SD card that came with. I don't really use the stylus, but I love the phone and with Motorola now offering 3 years of security updates, I will be using this phone through 2025 easily.
just one defect. SD 695 can only take 1080p video...definitely an out of place setting in 2022
$269 on motorola now.
@Ry Ro Xiaomi k20 pro is junk..I'll never own xiaomi again..

@Ry Ro its 150 dollars open box on ebay lmaooo all of you are scamming yourselves
I've had mine for a few weeks now. It's an excellent phone for the price, great screen, excellent refresh rate and wonderful quality build. Beautiful phone and I picked two up for $299 each with an additional free 256gb SD card. This dude is being way too critical about the most unnecessary things, the stylus is great quality and I love the weight and size of it. I don't think this guy likes Motorola and he makes it well known.
Hey whered you get that deal?
Hmm 1 comment seem suspicious, i don't think this comment buy 300$ probably bot commen.
Yeah, what a jerk
Does it really have such a dim screen??
This guy buys the high priced phone's so he comes on RUclips to downgrade low budget phones
I currently have the moto g stylus 5g 2022. I did purchase it for 500 dollars unlocked. The phone isn't perfect but what phone is? No phone is worth the price that's advertised. This is a really solid device. Stock android experience, as close to a pixel as you can get. 8 gb of ram which is expandable to 10gb which is awesome. 256 gb of internal memory with expandable memory SD card. Solid cameras, and a lot of features that some flagships don't have. The unlocked version is the big boy of the Carrier version because you get the best. The 695 g processor is a solid and capable processor. Overall, this phone to me is worth it. Good review but because of what you're getting, this is an exceptional device to me.
I have a moto G stylus 5G 2022 to personally it's a great phone I have had mine since last September I have had no issues with it.. I personally love my phone and I came from iphone 12 pro max it took time getting used to android but in less than 24 hours I learned to love this phone
Let me guess, you're not exactly a fan of Motorola. Personally I think you were a little too critical of a phone that offers as much as it does. $500 for a smartphone is nothing by today's standards so I think it is priced just right for what you get.
I agree that he's quite biased against Motorola....
This model basically checks all the boxes to give people what they want.....
Sony wants $1,600 for a phone with great cameras that gets so hot they have a warning to not hold it.... Pixel has used the same camera for 3 years..... Apple may get rid of their notch.... It's ok & may be better to have a plastic phone.... Premium Means Expensive Not Better....I obviously am very happy with Midrange devices.... Without taking away things I regularly use & enjoy
@@bypinkerton892 100%
definitely it doesn't worth $499. in china, 499 can already buy Moto's flagship x30 pro.
It's on sale for $299 now, so that's a great deal?
All the Mid-range & Budget phones start Higher & are mostly sold thru carriers cheap... I think these reviewer's get mad being they paid the full price to get it 1st.... It's a Business Expense - to right off their Taxes....
Fun fact: The stylus not only works with this phone, but is a replacement stylus for my 2DS. Works for DS emulation, too
I already bought mine for half off, and appreciate the critical review. I wasn't going to buy it at full price.
But for me having the best capacity in the stylus line within this (discounted) price range was a must for my work.
I'm an artist, and need to sketch out ideas on the fly sometimes, do lots of visual planning and vision board type stuff.
So I do not regret my purchase.
That said, I wholeheartedly agree that styluses today should have at least SOME pressure sensitivity.
(Lighter pressure for thinner & lighter pigment, heavier pressure for a thicker line & more opaque pigment)
High tech dedicated artist tablet pens today run as low as $15.
I don't see a reason why they can't/won't do this. Artists would gobble them up, especially being a more affordable option. They'd have a niche cornered all to themselves.
Drawing tablets can be expensive, and the affordable ones need to be hooked up to your computer to run.
If you don't have a laptop you are stuck at your stationary pc a lot.
Pressure sensitivity aside.
I'm excited to be able to sketch quick ideas for projects away from my computer, and still do it on a device so that I can quickly send/upload those files from and a decent enough camera to even snap photos of irl sketches to edit further on my device if needed.
I got this for $300... it's definitely worth $300. Tweak the settings a bit and it's a crazy capable phone.
Yea I got the 4g version for 322 I got ripped off
@@JesManVP That's a big oof... I got the 5G on sale, luckily
What settings did you tweak if you don't mind me asking?
@@BabysitterSky For the camera specially or for the entire phone, Android's have a lot of options lol
250 at my best buy
Got the styles g 5g for 60 bucks for switching to metro, I still think it was a deal for me. I had a phone that was almost 10 years old and I did t want to spend more than 200 bikcs and I needed a phone line and this ended up being the phone I choose and really liked out of the bunch that was available as I didn't really want an iPhone.
That being said I agree. 400 bucks is a lot for a phone like this but I think there's a bigger reason, it's to keep it cheap for the phone companies who want to sell phones at a price from msrp to retail price in store for people with a tighter budget, to entice people like me to get a phone like this.
I mean for 60 bucks this phone is amazing, but other than people like me, who else is this phone for, other than the budget crowd of things, if the budget crowd that this phone is being offered to won't pay it? hence why this phone was like 60 bucks for me and people switching it's to get people to switch to new phone companies, and that's why I bought it because I was getting a new phone line when I previously did not have one and needed a new phone.
So if you need a new phone but not a new line or don't want to switch companies, u don't need this phone if you can afford to pay more that 500 bucks, because most switch price phones, will cost less than retail price of the phone, but if on a tighter budget and u want to switch and can't spend more than 100 bucks, this phone might just be for you
I ordered it this week for $350, and for that.. it's been great. This is to replace the Z Play my dad uses, and it's a decent upgrade for him (the Z play's battery is finally dying). I typically carry flagship devices, but overall.. i'd be fine using this.
That's true you need to buy motolora with long life battery if not that's loss for all mobile companies
Is the screen really that dim!
You can get it for under 200 from a carrier although with less storage. Also I don't see the larger screen bezel as a negative since - at least in my experience - having tiny bezels makes it difficult to touch the edge of the screen consistently once you put a case on .
I got it through Straight Talk for $238 for the phone, a case, a screen protector, and a service card. For under $250, I'm happy with it.
Yeah this guy isn't satisfied I'm sure he has a I phone I got it free with a plan I'm happy I phone is so overated
I'm eligible for upgrade so going to pick this up soon. Mainly for the 5G, but I already have the 2020 G Stylus and it has been a great phone. I only have to pay $220 for it so I think that's fair. I was an LG fanboy for the longest time, I had all the LG Stylos so Motorola has the same quality and feel I'm used to if that makes sense. I miss LG phones but Motorola is doing good so far. Looking forward to this one.
I still use the 2020 g stylus. I don't want to move on just yet. Holding out for next year. Also I think I'd be annoyed by the finger scanner to unlock the phone. Being forced to use one finger
Are you able to screen mirror on the 2020 without WiFi?
This is presently going for half price $249.99 direct from Motorola. I'm considering it - upgrading from a Moto G7 that I've had for a little over 3 years. Still working perfectly. I wish this one had stereo speakers, as the OP mentioned, and I'm also concerned it won't charge as fast as my G7. Specs say this comes with a 10W turbocharger. My G7 came with a 15W turbocharger and it charges super fast.
You can purchase a higher wattage charger. I use a Samsung but my charger is 15+ more watts than what's required for fast charging. I get full battery in 45 minutes
10 watts is turbo charging? Maybe 5 years ago.

I got this phone about 6 months ago for (better sit down) $179US. Great phone. Was an iPhone user for years but got fed up with having a very expensive device that they made less and less mine and more theirs. Walmart's where I got the Moto. It's locked to Simple Mobile which I think is now part of Verizon. I already had SM as my carrier so I didn't care, but now SM's rates are too high mine's $55US/mo. unlimited everything. Which was good at the time that I got the plan 4 or 5 years ago. I'd get it unlocked now and shop around for a better You should be able to get a lower rate these days. Beware of plans that routinely throttle speeds during "times of high traffic". Peace.
Just finished watching the first moto g stylus vid, just for context I have the 2020 g stylus. I realized that the camera was better and worse for the new 5g one. My camera is able to go up to 4k but the colors are worse. I don't understand Motorola lol. Mine also has that dual speaker action lol. Also don't understand why they got rid of that. Maybe inflation, who knows?
I am still rocking the 2020 version too. I love this little guy.
@@char_lizard8440 Yeah me too, 2020 versions nice, I guess it could have better dynamic range on the camera system.
Yep still using 2020 g stylus. Holding out for 2023. I'd believe they'll get back to there 2020 game.
I have the Nokia x100 and it's like if they put a moto stylus 2020 👍🏾 screen to the Nokia, it looks alike.
I like the 6.8" screen. I just bought the 8G/256G blue version on Amazon for $349. Had to replace my 2020 Moto G Power my dog ate. The Moto Power phones have been crap the last couple of years.
Yeah I used to have the 2020 power, thing was a beast
Is the phone so bad with a dim screen? I hope you executed the dog.
Your dog ate that shit wtf
Same. Upgrading from a moto g power 2020
I wish LG didn't go out of business. I feel they would have stepped up their game to this point (Stylo 8) and it would have rivaled Samsung in terms if a budget option. Hopefully someone sees the real demand and ups their game and delivers something for us stylus freaks! Great vid as always brotha!

i was a big fan of LG stylo phones, they were wide, big screens. you cant get those wide screens anymore.
People get on my nerves because they try to compare these phones to a 1500/2000 thousand phones such as Apple and Samsung. No, this phone is not like those but I have this phone and it works so amazing for me. I have had no issues whatsoever. They really out did themselves with this phone in my opinion. The phone is well worth the price you pay and you get what you pay for, however idk where this price is coming from because I got mine for 299 and it's truly a wonderful phone, it takes excellent pictures, provides me with more than enough space to store everything and the battery life on these are amazing also. I won't ever go back to Apple or Samsung. Beware of these reviews because I have seen a few that are waaaaay off when reviewing a phone.
I think for this to be really worth the $500 and to compete with it's competitors it would need:
OLED screen that is brighter
Official IP certified water and dust resistant (not this "water repellent coating" bullcr*p or whatever Motorola calls it)
At least 3 years of software updates
More powerful processor
and bring back dual speakers!
got 128g version from costco for ca$349, absolutely worth every penny: im not looking for a fancy phone, just browsing, youtubing and some social media stuff。based on my shop around study, this guy probably the best value in terms of $ wise. also ive to give thumb up for its battery-last really long
Is the screen really that dim?
I'm on Fi and they have their own spec for this, it has the Snapdragon 695 but only 4GB RAM and 128GB storage. It's $149. I've had 3 of the Moto G phones in a row and decided to try the Samsung S22, which I was really expecting to feel like much more of an upgrade. It was a relative bargain at $299, but I really don't get along with the Samsung skin of Android. I was looking forward to the much better update schedule, but a long service life isn't much of a plus if you don't like using the phone. At least there is Lineage OS, which I've never found available for any of my Moto G phones.
These Motorola phones always end up getting discounted pretty quickly, so it's priced on par with a budget phone rather than a mid range. 249 for the 8gb/256+256 unlocked version is a lot of phone for cheap.
For me, I'm so used to Moto's karate chop for flashlight and twist for camera that any other phone I just end up shaking around and not getting anywhere.
Got it for $150 on Google Fi, this version only has 4GB ram but otherwise is a fantastic phone for the price.
Got a brand new one for $149 works great. Not nowhere near my galaxy s22 ultra. Ordered the new zfold just to have.
Got this for a few hundred off during prime days and love it. Wife got the blue, I got the seafoam green lol
This guy probably has a I phone a phone is a phone there not 5 hundred you get a plan there free

Still isn't worth it at that price lol
Wass 500 unlocked at best buy. So yeah there's that
@@NowKissMyChucks Have you owned this phone before?
I'm giving it a try.
Got one off eBay for $125.
And a Lifetime Boost Unlimited Plan for $25 a month. And they say, its pretty much UNLIMITED. And if you keep it under 100 Gigs of High Speed a month. You shouldn't have a problem. They frown on anything above that. But that's a ton of data.
Overall, pretty cheap for the package. So, we'll see 😊
Lol under 60% brightness you can't see anything yet I could clearly see the image on the screen. Yeah you definitely got it out for this phone
Thank you for this! It was super informative and helpful! I love how detailed you are in your work.
Good news! It looks like T-Mobile is selling this for $299. But the only con is it is 6GB of RAM. But same model, specs and all for $299. It is free on a new line, but can also be bought outright.
I ended up finding this phone brand new at a flea market for 40 bucks, using it now. Unbeatable for 40 bucks
Just purchased from Amazon to upgrade an old Moto g7 power. Price has dropped a lot, its down to $150 and with a Flash sale, I got mine for $114. It hasn't arrived yet, but I think it was a good buy and huge upgrade to the g7.
I have some very specific questions as to how the 2022 vs 2020 vs 2021. I LOVED Everything about the 2020 version. The only thing that could have been improved is making the same exact device 5G and change nothing else. Unfortunately, that's not what's happened. 2021 camera zoom looks super grainy, even at just 1x. My old 5mpx camera zooms looked better. Also it doesn't do the wide shot action video. What about the 2022? Did it bring any of these qualities back? You said that it's still the single speaker from the 2021. But how is sound quality during a phone call? The 2021 speaker setting for phone calls while driving is practically useless, and that's when you need it the most. Obviously the 2020 dual dolby speaker was infinitely superior. But lacking that, is the 2022 speaker at least more usable than the 2021? Similarly, you mentioned the screen being more dim than you liked - but how does it compare to previous versions of the Moto Stylus? Is it the same or worse? Lastly, screen durability - Motorola has bounced around with Gorilla glass. How would this screen compare in terms of crack resistance? Thanks in advance 😊
Damn ... macro photos are the only the photos I take with a cell phone. For anything else I use a real camera.
Nice thing about the Nexus 6 (aka Motorola Nexus X) was two front mounted speakers.
I do like the idea that the retained the headphones jack ... the main reason I will not consider a Google Pixel phone.
When reviewing smart phones, it seems no one ever covers the device's primary function: How well it works as a phone ... background noise canceling, clear audio (ear piece and microphone), volume, hearing-aid compatibility, number blocking, headset options ... stop thinking of it as a game machine and consider it as a communications device. Sadly an old fashioned Maw Bell analog desk phone usually works better as a phone (clarity and reliability) than any cell phone.
Im on my 3rd moto g variant, since 2020. I buy last years model, and have paid upto $190 on my first, (lasted a year and half) The second made it 2 years and the unreplaceable battery swelled up and knocked the back of the phone loose. I have this phone in this video...cricket online $59 with minor plan adjustment. No way would I pay more than 125 for these disposable phones. I do run the heck out of it aswell as the others I've had. Hours a day of streams/podcasts. Its my TV set.
Actually I paid $500 for the Google Pixel 7 last year. It SUCKS. I should have gotten this phone. Broke the Pixel, now I bought this as a replacement for $230 not expecting much. It's way faster, larger, better than my pixel. Including picture quality. So yea tweak the settings a bit and get a Moto Stylus... Even my husband w an iPhone 14 pro is impressed w this phone.
Two years running....
The Motorola Moto G Stylus (2020) remains the overall best budget smartphone.
I'm so mad at myself for dropping mine and busting it so bad 😭 it was literally the best phone I've ever owned

@@partycrashers22
I didn't get the update, because I read about other users of the 2020 Motorola Moto G Stylus complaining about problems with the "update". Knowing what I know about this depraved system, it is probably intentional to get consumers to purchase a Motorola that is inferior in features to the Motorola Moto G Stylus 2020.
Got it for 40$ during T mobiles deal, after 180 days of use it will become unlocked. Can't say I'm dissapointed.
I never pay any attention to what full list price is.
I just got 2 of these for $200 each at T-Mobile. And you can get the same price from Amazon. It is NOT $499. Period.
Smart shopper! 💰
This phone is only 9.99 right now if you switch to boost mobile awesome deal. I’ve used boost in the past and never had an issue with their service other than streaming videos is lower quality.
Yeah for sure crazy deal. I had one of the older models of this phone in the past and loved it also.
The real Monty unlocked is $350 (9/1/22) and NOT a stripped carrier model. Full 256gb, 8mb ram, full power processor, 120 refresh & INCLUDES 256gb SD CARD! So 512gb total memory. Apples & Oranges comparing Carrier model phones that have 64or128gb memory, 4gb ram, dumb down processor, no 256gb SDcard, etc
Just picked this up from Verizon with 128 gig storage for $36.00. At $1.00 per month for 36 months I'll take it. Now just need to pick up an extra 256 gig slot card.
I bought this new and unlocked today with 256GB of internal storage for $249.99. I think it's a good deal.

@@TechDaily that's a good thing
I bought mine the 2022 model I can't complain for what I bought it for directly from Motorola and unlocked but people don't understand though is it's hard to find a good all-around budget phone for that can have USB type c out or / HDMI to hook to a touch screen monitor I use it all the time I don't understand why this guy has so much hate for this phone it was always going to come down in price because there's other phones that are better for the same price but when you can get a phone for less than $130 brand new I mean what else do you want.
Did yours directly from Motorola (US?) come with 4, 6, or 8 Gig of RAM?
I just got this phone to use a stylus. I hope I can buy an additional one that feels much better. But I got the phone for $5/month for 2 years, so I'm not complaining. Just wanted something to quickly doodle on. But my Samsung A71, I still have is better in most things... Just can't draw on it. 😅
Why I didn't get a tablet or something to draw, don't have the budget currently.
I didn't get it yet but I just bought one for 10 bucks. Plus a 40 dollar plan, so 50 bucks cause I already have a plan with boost and you have to get a plan in order to get the phone for 10 bucks so I guess I'm going to have 2 numbers for a month ha
I did not know that there are two versions: G Stylus 5G 2022 and G Stylus 2022 with no 5G.
I just read specs that claim it has a "8 MP ultra-wide + macro" is this the macro you said they removed? or is it something else? I use macro on my current camera to zoom in and take close up shots, not sure if that's the one you meant that Motorola removed from this stykus phone??
Love this phone, 120hz of graphics, better than over priced icraps.. Samsung is alright but still way to expensive.
If camera is not ur thing this phone is epic bang for your buck.
I just bought one in Amazon 6gb Ram 256gb for $200 free shipping
Grabbed this when switching to cricket - $20.00 so I got 2 lines, 2 phones. I need to keep it for 6 months before it unlocks, which is fine by me since this service works the best where I live and roam. A bit of an upgrade from my Moto 5G Ace. I've had it for a month and so far, few problems.
Is the screen really that dim?
In my opinion the price is a little steep but it's definitely worth it. 128 gb base storage you can't beat that
You can beat that with the 256 base + 256 free sd card I got for 250
Total by verizon is $199.99, 128gb. Same price on amazon but 64 gb! 1/18/23
As a of now, I can't find a better mid ranger than this Moto G. It's on sale and it has 8gb of ram, huge 256gb storage + SD, and a headphone jack. You get updates up till 2025, not too bad.

It really annoying how bad some of these reviews are. This guy just spends the whole review blandly bash the price that no one will actually pay for it. Then Talks about how other phones are better for reason that won't effect 95% users or are completely subjective opinions. The the tag line literally says don't buy cause the price when Motorola phones are always on sale, I would absolutely fire this guy for this review, it is awful.
Do What? I've owned 4 or 5 of these stylus phones with them starting off at just over $3oo. Loved it, hence the reason I bought more. Now I'm a little ruff on my phone's sometimes. When they start acting up and you have to do everything on three times in a row to get anything done with them. I have no problem in slamming it down on the pavement and stomping it to cell phone death! But it should not get to that point in three months! And 3 months is the best I've gotten out of them. Out of the last three I've gotten, two of them wouldn't even hook up to the wifi in Walmart so I could set them up. My old phone would, but not the brand new one that I just took out the box. So I returned them, after having to get load few times at the return desk, they gave me my money back. Went to different Walmart in a different town, and got another one. This time it would pick up and connect to the wifi. So great! Other two must have been in a bad bunch! WRONG! I'v

And this phone is crap!!When texting a message, I can click on a letter and the whole key board disappears, so then I have to go click on the key board to open it back up just to click on one more letter before it disappears again.

It just cutl th. Peme off and shut me down again. At lel ast when I got it back up and going, I don't have to do one number at a time.

What about how it functions on a provider? Does it drop calls? Hotspot capabilities, Does the unlocked U.S. version have a problem with any of the providers? What about a battery replacement? Is it a nightmare to replace? This phone sells for $249 with 256 internal and comes with a 256 SDcard. Is it better than an older Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge?
Mine drops calls constantly. I had an older version that started dropping calls so I just went to upgrade thinking it was my old phone but nope - my brand new phone is even worse !!! I'm returning it tomorrow!!!
@@rachkbill Do you have a strong tower signal? Sometimes if you also have WiFi calling it might switch
to WiFi calling instead of the tower and drop the call. Had a friend with an iPhone who had the problem.

Truly have to say how happy i am that you finally made this review... i actually paid just 10 dollars for it plus activation and plan with metro by tmobile... Kinda hard to believe that it was even priced at 500 at all. Also have to point out that i dont think the phone has a snapdragon processor i think its a helio processor and things such as emulation gaming is really not that fun at all but its still a great phone for someone who came from using a lg stylo or something like me but thing i find the most important about a phone is display and performance yet what i find one of the biggest bummers about the phone is that the phone has one of the worst speakers on a phone ive ever had. It LITERALLY goes from low to LOUD nd i just cant seem to figure why the speakers is like that at all. ALSO i just noticed that the phone has a horrible brightness ratio like especially during the hot HOT heatwave summer of 2022 i just couldnt seem to deal with the glare of the phone at all it almost makes the phone totally unwatchable.... definitely a hard buy if im to recommend and like you said definitely dont buy the phone for 500 dollars.... LAST but not least the performance of gamig on this phone REALLY disappointed me when i was trying to emulate 3ds on it. Yet again it just didnt make total sense to me a phone i had tried out from last year the oneplus NORD n200 performed a little better during emulation than the moto g stylus. All i can say is that im truly happy you did this review and you totaly convinced me that im gonna somehow get the OnePlus Nord n20. after all it was the phone i wanted all along but now i know that i truly want the phone. THANK YOU AGAIN brother
The Moto g Stylus phone you have is regularly $299. & does not have 5g. Your's is the 4glte model - he did a review on your phone awhile ago.
My wife is getting the pixel 6a, and I'm getting this moto g stylus 5g, specs wise it seemed to me the mgs 5g camera has 38 more megapixels, my mgs 5g was 250, hers will end up costing us 360 after discounts.
Megapixels don't mean anything. As you probably have found out by now, the Pixel 6a takes better pictures than the Motorola. Sorry. Motorola makes good phones but they still have a long way to go when it comes to cameras.
Meanwhile the samsung galaxy s21 only has a 12 mp camera and this one has a 50mp camera. Looks like a great phone for the price this guy has apparently failed to do any research at all The rear camera on the A53 is only 32 mp. I mean other than a screen and camera as long as it runs fast and has 5g what else do you need? A speaker? Really I use headphones Im not one of those meth heads who walks around listening to his phone like it is a boombox from the 1980s. If someone has a comparable phone with a 50mp camera and a stylus pen go ahead and post it
The Samsung A52s is well under 300 dollars now on Amazon, it's an amazing deal over this rubbish
Samsung A52 has a horrible camera!!!
@@nenew1330 I do admit the cameras are meh, I have to use Gcam to get better results.
In all honesty, the best way to describe the A52s is it's a well rounded phone, it doesn't exceed anything but it surely is acceptable in everything, when you remember it's a ~300 dollar phone.
My reason for buying the A52s was really because of the Snapdragon 778G, which destroys the 695s you'd find in a number of phones.
I think you completely missed the point of the phones like this. It wasn't meant to be a flagship Stylus experience. For $250 right now it's meant to be a better value for your money. Expecting flagship experience on a budget is very unrealistic. You know at a $250 price point you are going to be making some compromises. But if you are looking at this phone it means you can't afford a flagship. I will agree at $500 this is a much tougher sell. At that price you can get a year or two old flagship. However at $250 right now I think it's a good deal.
I got it for $249. It's for my secondary phone number.
I just want the basic cell with louder speakers than my Samsung galaxy prepaid from Walmart like 3 years ago. I think it was around 70 bucks. It does all the things I want except I want music quality speakers. I hate I can’t hear someone talking to you on the phone or they hear you well. That’s my main goal and a camera that would take great concert photos which is one other frustrating part of phones. My phone does fine except for concert lighting. If it had a great mic that’d be great but want to be no more than 175 but lower the better but quality matters on just the hearing quality. Any suggestion. I will probably stay around the 64 or 128 go. I think mine might be 32 so a tiny bit more would be great . Phone is always saying I have 1.2 gb of 2gb in memory (652gb left) and uses 15.3 gb of 16gb. Available 688mb storage. I’d like to hold some more audio recording on the fly. I’d like the right option. Any ideas?
I've had mine for about a week and loving it. Of course, we all have different opinions and mine is that I like.
I like the most is the battery life a lot better than Samsung A53
Got one in Jan. Microphone not worked from day one have to use a bluetooth device to talk on phone for people to hear you. Tried resets etc, no microphone. Screen is so dim I can NOT see it in any kind of sunlight, and now it will not accept a charge from any of my cords. Huge waste of money.
I'm not much of a pen user but I'm a huge fan of a headphone jack.. I've been offered other phones with my carrier but idk. Just love the headphone jack option. So this phone is great for me . I'm thinking about it
I mean. You can get the Motorola Edge at that price point... But you can actually get this phone for $299 now on all Carriers... THAT is well worth it... There are BARELY any phones as good as this at that price point.
Haven’t tried the Moto Edge, but $299 from the carriers is pretty good!
It's a little over $170 at Walmart with three months of phone service through Straight Talk
Got this phone for $10 brand new. super worth it
I have 2 of them the 2nd one was $180 out the door for everything at MetroPCS and I am very very happy for the price
It's literally free at Metro... well you have to sign up for the 40 dollar plan for a month so $40
@@shinta0013 Well I had paid $105.69
The Moto G Stylus 5G 2022 is now $299 on Amazon
@techdaily hey great vid! Can you tell me if the stylus pen is able to write in very thin style---a setting to change pen thickness? I want to be able to take a screenshot of my notebook paper and use the stylus pen to write on the lines (and very small as well). Thanks!
I have the Moto G stylus 5G (2021) still my daily phone but that 2022 looks nice but im satisfied with my last gen version
Mine is waiting for me when I get off my hitch. Got it on early prime deal. 349. I ain't mad. As long as apex, cod mobile run good I'm vood
That’s a great deal!
Bought one on cyber monday for $149.
Anyone know where to get a waterproof case for this phone? It's so hard for this specific model... only found a few for the 2021 version
Got it for 50 dollars but because boost had it for cheap so I can get better connection to dish 5g on cheap
I got mine for 110 metro PCs with unlimited data talk txt for 10 month 🥳
I want to connect the Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) to an external monitor without casting. Any way to do this? Slimport?
The 2021 moto g stylus had AMAZING speakers. ⚠️Unfortunately, the 2022 version only has the ONE speaker and the sound quality is terrible! Why the hell would they take away the dual speakers?
🙅If you're in a mildly noisy atmosphere, then forget it. Even with the volume cranked ALL the way up, you will not be able to hear podcasts, movies or music. 👎
Thank you for this video- the next cell phone I shop for WILL have dual speakers.
My little Samsung is a few yrs old & now cant get calls tho all else works ok. Only thing I hate is low sound & someone stole my JC speaker. No phones w bad sound for me no matter what else I get! (Getting older ears I think!)
Is $350 better? Do you think android 12 and the phone hold through the year 2023?
This phone is actually 189 or cheaper with cricket if you want it on their website. Not sure we're you found it for 500 but that's a rip off
T-Mobile has it for $300 bucks right now. It's free if you add a line.
I have a Moto g 5g phone....it is brand new but seems to take forever to charge....I am using a third-party tower where I can plug both electrical plugs and it has it USB slots to plug in the cord...also using 3rd party power cord as original was too short....is there such a thing as different cords cause when I plug my phone on wife's cord it seems to charge a lot faster
I just recently bought this phone, as did my wife for herself. She had the older model which was 3 or more years old and compared to mine I thought hers was pretty impressive. We're old farts and I myself pretty much suck with cell phones but mine was a $70 Celero 5g phone that I bought a year or two ago through Boost Mobile. We've used Virgin Mobile no-contract service since the dinosaur age, of course Virgin Mobile was taken over by Boost Mobile so I bought the Celero just to take advantage of the 5g network because my prior cell was 3g. SLOW! My wife dropped her phone and cracked the screen so she explored the Boost web site and found that she was eligible for an upgrade so she upgraded to this from her older version while I decided to upgrade to this after plunking mine into the toilet while doing my business. It fell out of my pocket while flushing and there was no way I was ever taking it to my face again. I've got to say, I'm really very happy with this phone for the $99 upgrade price.
I'm slightly disappointed in the video and sound quality. The Blu GF51 has a superior internal microphone and video in 2k
Ebay brand new unlocked for less than 165.00, mine was 150 & mins less than 200 straight talk ,
Another review on this phone? That's like 3 reviews on the same phone now I'm confused on which one is best for me to watch since I'm getting this phone delivered Wednesday. But at least you get more ad revenue and more clicks right. What's funny is you criticize this phone for being the same identical device as the previous two models they've come out with just slightly different and yet your review of the phone is the exact same thing because you have like three different reviews that are just slightly different than the others you've put out on the same phone
Now I kinda regret getting this phone bc the Pixel 6a is now on Metro and I wish I can return this phone to get it. (How much is the upgrade?)
Wouls you buy a new one for 75$? Cricket is giving me 1 due to an upgrade thru insurance. Is it worth it?
Got a s22 ultra for 400 dollar 512gb and free watch for my trade in
