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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

I upgraded from a Moto Edge 2022 because this one has a microSD slot (I thought losing it wouldn't be an issue, but I really like having all my photos and music locally), 2 GB more RAM, and a headphone jack. I bought it when it dropped to $250 and have been happy with it. $180 is a superb value for the specs you get. The screen is sharp and battery life is excellent. I run the BlackBerry suite of apps (Hub, Calendar, Notes, etc.) on it and have no complaints with speed. I really like the Moto Gestures like double shake to activate the flashlight. I know you can get stuff like that in the Play Store, but it's nice when it's built in.
Never understood this update hysteria.

Will most people notice the lack of security updates and see any negative effects directly due to that..... No.
Will people notice when they can no longer use Google Wallet, Tap to pay, WhatsApp, or any number of other things... Yup.
These cases feel like 1,000,000 bucks but if you drop them the color will get scratched. They are the slimmest with the tiniest lip.
Any other cases and I have many are just fine.
There are quite a few cases that have screen protectors included and I would definitely get one of those first. Screen has some kind of protection but slid it on my hardwood floor and screen got all scratched up. I just used one of the screen protectors that came with one of the cases and screen protector glue filled in the scratches. Same screen protector for a couple of years.
Compared to the 2024 model, the 2025 Stylus has longer software support, faster charging, IP rating, a slightly faster processor, and newer WiFi and Bluetooth standards. However, I value the significantly longer battery life (like 20+%) on the 2024 model more, not to mention it being cheaper. FWIW, the 2024 model also has FM radio support, not that I expect to use it.
The battery is admittedly not as good in the 2025 even though it's the same size, hopefully software tweaks improve the battery life down the line. Many people think it's teething issues with background services.

I've had a generic "P-Oled" phone before and didn't love the display compared to my AMOLED ones, but that may have been just user bias. AMOLEDs usually use less power than P-Oled ones, unless something else is at play.
The SOC is a slight revision difference but the GPUs are exactly the same, so I don't see how that would be the culprit. They're both Adreno 710 units according to GSMarena.
I also use a case and screen protector, but having AMOLED, Gorilla Glass 3, and an IP68 rating makes me feel significantly better than the more nebulous P-Oled, glass, and water-repellent. My phone spends enough time in harsh environments that I prefer to have some metric to compare to past phones at least.
Who knows, maybe the 2024 is perfectly fine and the battery difference is worth it.
I'm still running a five-year old Moto G Stylus on Android 11, and I haven't noticed any issues with apps being unsupported due to the older OS. What I've noticed is that it's more frequently suffering from bouts of lagginess/unresponsiveness, which is why I'm looking at upgrading now.
Hopefully that trend continues, as being able to run older devices longer is better for the consumer and the planet.
I know that Google Wallet requires Android 9, so anything within the last 6 or so years should be fine for now. Honestly, android is pretty good about being able to run older or even abandoned apps unless you run into a permissions reorganizing issue that can't be solved except on the app side.
I've been able to run an older version of ES File Explorer (3.2.5.5) up until the Moto Stylus 5g 2025.
RIP ES and also SMBv1! Finally time to go to Mixplorer or Solid.

I generally don't expose my phone to harsh environments beyond rain and the occasional drop, so I don't worry too much about it beyond using a case and screen protector, especially since I've never spent as much as $200 on a phone.
Bonus Note - this is one of the few Motorola phones that works with the Libre App, used in the Abbott FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensor system (which is a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system) for diabetics. (Phone compatibility shown here http://www.freestyle.a

I'm at the beach fairly regularly and my previous non IP-rated phones didn't always hold up so well to either the surprise rain or sand ingress. I'm sure things have gotten better, but the initial IP rating makes me feel a little more confident.
My current mid-range Samsung has done really well after 3 years, to the point where I'll just leave it in the shower to listen to stuff.
