Just a warning as a user of a Motorola phone. I have a phone that is a 2024 model, and it is already two android versions behind, and they will drop security updates for my phone in November of 2026. So, of all of the phone brands, Motorola supports their phones for the shortest amount of time. If you are lucky, they might support it for two or three years. So, if you buy this phone, it's probably only going to get updates until the end of 2026.

This is an excellent phone. Highly recommended. Responsive, headphone jack, magnetic charging, sd card, etc. Runs great.

Never understood this update hysteria.

What do you need security updates for? North korean porn browsing?

It's a phone. It calls people. It texts people. It lets you browse normal websites. It may even play a game. If you don't do things on it that you wouldn't want your GF/wife to see you never need any updates.

My Motorola E play from like 2016 still does all these things. Slow. But still does it. Never once in its life it needed "updates". Whatever your phone is, is the best it will ever going to be, no updates will make it faster or better.

By the time updates run out you will buy another phone anyway.

Community Reviews

The 2024 Moto G Stylus 5G stands out as a fast, feature-packed midrange phone with 8GB of RAM, microSD expansion, a headphone jack, and useful Moto gestures. The screen is described as sharp and bright, the battery life is often strong enough to last about two days or more, and the stylus model feels light and slim. Camera performance is the main weak spot, especially beyond 2x zoom and in the stock app, while software support is relatively short and may end around 2026 or 2027. It is a strong value if you want solid everyday performance and long battery life more than long-term updates or a top-tier camera.

Common Questions (6)

  • Yes, it can last about two days with normal use, and some owners report even longer on lighter calling and texting. Performance is generally described as fast and responsive, though one user reported app switching and multitasking problems that others say can be fixed by allowing apps to run in the background.

    JFalcbobbyj247Shawndak07Yianaki

  • The phone is expected to get security updates through about late 2026 to mid-2027, depending on the source and update path, but no major OS upgrades beyond Android 15 are expected. That means it should stay usable for a few years, but long-term support is shorter than Samsung or Pixel phones.

    SavingsDude40SavingsDude40StrongCreator3879Yianaki

  • The camera is fine for indoor shots and can improve a lot with GCam, but it is not a standout feature. Zoom beyond 2x reportedly hurts image quality, and the stock camera app can sometimes freeze or crash.

    maksksYianakiNuieveVic121

  • Buy the 2024 model if battery life and price matter most; it is reported to last longer and cost less. The 2025 model adds longer software support, faster charging, IP rating, and a slightly faster processor, but the 2024 is still preferred by some for its better battery life and lower price.

    TamdriklastwraithStrongCreator3879BoastfulPen8263

  • Yes. It has a microSD card slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and magnetic charging support, and several owners also call out the built-in Moto gestures as a plus. Those features make it a strong value if you want expandable storage and wired audio.

    JFalcNate650BoastfulPen8263

  • It should handle common apps well, and one owner specifically says it works with the Abbott FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus CGM Libre app. Another concern is that older Android versions can eventually lose support for apps like Google Wallet or Tap to pay, so update support matters if you rely on those services.

You nailed it. It's a $200 phone. Battery life goes down dramatically after a year or 2.
I have the 2022 Motorola. I'm sure battery life went down but just with normal everyday use I still get 3-4 days out of it. If I watch youtube or stream for a few hours straight, I get 2 days. If I'm just making calls and texting then... 4-5 days. Yet to use more than 50% in a day.

Hackers can get easy access to any technology no longer being supported and updated. And, you can get viruses from an email, or clicking a link. You don't need to be going on North Korean porn, as if that even exists.
If we smart enough to even know what "updates" mean, sure we're smart enough to use the phone at least as smart as a 10 y.o. would? This includes not clicking on links.

Hackers getting access to technology... your phone? Maybe watching too much Netflix?

I've had this phone since it came out batteries the same pretty much lasts two days of normal use. Newest Android update allows you to stop charging at 80% that will help with the battery lasting longer. When I'm just sitting around the house I usually charge from like 25% to 80 percent . Again had this for years and it easily beats out iPhones battery life by miles. If you are out all day and definitely not going back to a battery the battery saver is a lifesaver and will last you from 8:00 AM to 1:00 AM believe me I know taking pictures all day and using GPS to get around.

If you get this phone check out Gcam BSG Stable BSG 9.3 MGC_9.3.160_V34 (BSG, 2025-06-07 https://www.celsoazevedo.com/file...a/dev-bsg/ . There are a lot of buggier updates but I just use the stable versions which are highlighted in bold Red. The newest stable version has all the features that we could want on our Moto phones.

Really only changed exposure compensation to +4 in the rear camera settings. That is for indoor shots "pixels" seem to take darker photos than a Samsung. With this gcam takes perfect shots no Complaints.

Here are my photos from Paris 3am tell me it doesn't take good photos. Straight out of Gcam.

You love that you can't multitask and that it closes apps as soon as you don't use it? Serious question.
There is nothing I've asked of this phone that it couldn't perform. Serious answer.

I just got the moto g 5 g and it is worse than my phone from 5 years ago. It closes your app as soon as u switch to another. Zero multitasking...barely can do mfa. I don't know how anyone had a good experience with this phone.
Are you talking about a completely different phone? Motorola doesn't do themselves any favors with their naming scheme, but the Moto G Stylus is not just the Moto G but with a stylus included. The Moto G is their barebones economy phone, the Stylus is the top end of their G series. I don't have either of the phones, but have had several iterations of other Moto Gs and they were all good for their prices. The cheap ones were functional but had their limitations, namely a lack of RAM.

My phone got Android 14, after coming with Android 13, and online they said that my phone was never getting Android 15, 16 or anything else. Just security updates for two years from the release of the phone, which ends in November of next year. They do that to force people to buy new phones. It's called forced obsolescence.
It's not really forced obsolescence in this case. It turns out because of how Android is designed, it's not trivial to enable a new version to be installed on a given piece of hardware. It's a significant investment on the part of a company to support a new version of Android for a particular phone. That's why the companies that make it a big selling point to provide long-term OS and security update support still cut it off after maybe 5-7 years. At that point, the vast majority of people would upgrade their phones anyway, so it's no longer worth the cost to keep supporting them. Companies like Motorola save money on long-term OS support and use that to allow them to sell phones cheaper and still make a profit.

I have the total wireless version of the 2024, and like it so far. But it's just a spare phone to me

That said, the price at total wireless was just $40 ... w/ cashback... and a month of unlimited. It'd likely take 2 months to get it unlocked, which I may not do with this one.

If willing to deal with Total wireless, porting a number and ID stuff, it is a bit cheaper.

If calculating the 1 month unlimited plan at around $15ish (cheapest I ever see such plans), and with cashback, I think the phone cost me like $7.

It is just another camera app you just downloaded and install. I got mine from total wireless as well.
Go into apps in settings and disable anything you don't like it won't come back. I have disabled these

You must have a different model with less RAM. This phone has 8gb RAM, which is further expandable with storage. I have no problems with apps getting killed.
