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.

  • Android 15 adds a charging limit option at 80%, and battery saver settings can extend use through a full day.

  • The OLED screen is reported to stay visible outdoors, and GPS navigation can last for long evening trips.

  • The phone delivers responsive day-to-day performance with a headphone jack, magnetic charging, and SD card support.

  • The camera can improve for indoor shots when using a stable GCam build with exposure compensation adjustments.

  • The camera app can freeze or crash, and image quality can drop sharply when using more than 2x zoom.

  • Security update support is reported to end in November 2026, which can limit long-term protection even if the phone still works.

  • Multitasking can be frustrating because apps may close when switching, and MFA setup can feel difficult.

  • The included or used case design can scratch the phone's color after drops, and screen protectors may be needed to prevent damage.

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.
I kind of agree. I didn't notice too many differences between Android 15 and Android 14 on my Moto G Stylus 2024, other than the ability to enable 80% battery charge limit in Android 15. Moto is supposed to provide 3 years of security updates for the phone (until sometime in 2027), so if that's a big deal to people then they should take that into consideration. I mainly use my phone to watch video, listen to music, and navigate. I don't browse lots of web sites or do much banking on it (I prefer to use a computer for those things), so I feel somewhat safe with my limited use case even after the security updates stop, assuming I want to keep using the phone after that point.

Any real-world battery life estimate?
Depends on your usage pattern. I limit the battery charge to 80% and it lasts 2 days for me most of the time, and that's with a few hours of video & music streaming every day.

I love this phone have had it since it came out and would buy again in a heartbeat. I have bought Samsung only in the past. I bough this phone to wait for a foldable and then realized i didn't want a foldable phone (who wants to watch videos on a square).

For photos, if you install BSC Gcam you will have a pixel 8 just about photowise. I have taken this all over the world and my friends and family's phones are dead at 5pm mine is going strong with GPS to get around Paris all night long until 1am since early morning.

I actually install the Samsung Internet Web browser and the Samsung Health app for activity tracking. Has tap to wake and pretty much everything on a Samsung.

The MotonStylus 2025 version has a better stylus but the CPU is not actually any faster AND eats up more battery.

Security updates will be released for this until Mid 2027 but no more OS upgrades. Which I am fine with. The apps get all the fun updates anyway.
Hey, what BSG(?) Gcam version are you using with the phone? DO you use stock Gcam or with a config file? Thanks
EDIT: FOund it with another comment from you.

Actually the updates are pretty important.
in order for these phone manufacturers to sell new versions they are going to need a way to convince you to buy one and sending you an update to purposely make your phone unusable is a perfect way to do that thats why there is so much hype about getting updates so they can make more money off us

Idk if things changed for 24' (doubt it) but 22' camera is so godawful I can never get a good picture, not even anything as good as, say iPhone 6. Detail and colors are absolutely atrocious.

Really sad, so many beautiful moments lost. My next phone will have a great camera, fck this cheap sht. I'd rather get a 10 y.o. Galaxy than any new mid-grade Motorola.

Great Phone but don't expect much from the camera, runs fast and works great but have moved on to Samsung/Apple/one plus for better options.

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

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.

If you don't mind a locked phone, it is free from Metro PCS, you just need to transfer a line and pay for the 1st month of service. They have other 2025 Motorola phones that do not require a line transfer.

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.
You need to manually allow apps to run in the background. Change that setting for each app so it can run in the background and you'll not have that issue. It's not a problem.

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.
By expandable with storage, I assume you mean the SD card slot - but SD cards don't work well for software RAM because they are comparatively much slower than other kinds of storage.

No, I mean expandable with internal storage using the RAM Boost feature. You choose how much extra you want.

For internal storage, I would definitely not recommend using up write cycles on Ram boost. Reduces the lifespan of an essentially irreplaceable drive
