All carrier sold versions (128GB) are in Caramel Latte color, and can be purchased cheaper, but if you like the Scarlet Wave color and/or want the 256GB storage then buy the unlocked version.
What I like about this phone:
6.7 inch 120Hz pOLED screen with slim bezels
8GB RAM (with RAM Boost - although I'd turn this off [androidcentral.com])
5000mAh battery w/30W wired charging (charger not included) & 15W wireless charging
Dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos tuning
Expandable microSD card slot (up to 2TB)
NFC for contactless payment
In-screen fingerprint reader
Passive stylus (no palm rejection however)
3.5mm headphone jack (wired headphone also acts as antenna for FM radio)
Supports eSIM (in addition to physical SIM) and Wi-Fi calling on supported carriers
Some negatives:
Only one major Android update and 3 years of security patches
Midrange processor (adequate for casual gaming)
USB-C out lacks MHL support [mhltech.org] (although wireless casting is available via Moto Smart Connect)

(This Stylus phone has a slower Snapdragon chip....but it does have 3.5mm headjack and sd card....decisions decisions....)
If there's a good deal, I may still do that hold and unlock deal, as my husband's current moto g stylus 5g stops getting security updates this summer, and if I can find something around BF, I could be unlocking it for him next November. Of course, that'll be Nov 2025, and security updates on this phone stop in June 2026, so we'd have less than a year of updates after we start actually using it. Damn. This is why I got myself a pixel 6a a couple of years ago and plan to use it as long as I can. But my husband tends to be rougher on phones, and he likes having a backup if he drops his or knowing it wasn't too pricey to begin with.

It's basically a phone for two years (since only one android update next year), but even then…not a deal breaker since the price is soooo low. Modern phone for two years for $250 is cheap enough that if you lose or break it you won't be that upset you'll just get another one.
Using it without a case because who cares!
