Attached are GeekBench scores that I ran on the phones I have/had. The 2024 Moto G Stylus has similar scores to the Samsung A54 5G. The 2025 Moto G Stylus has a faster process than the 2024 version, so it should be faster than the A54. I ordered the 2025 Stylus this morning. I will run GeekBench on it when I receive it, and post the scores.

Unfortunately, after Verizon has been relieved of its boundation to unlock devices within 60 days on Jan 20 2026, this is the easiest and cheapest way to buy a new device with decent specs that gets auto unlock (albeit after 365 days) without paying anything extra after the initial activation. From the carrier perspective it makes little sense selling the devices at steep discount without even breaking-even by making the customer pay the overly inflated telecom service, so its kind of a stretch expecting them to easily unlock the devices (within a short period of time like 60 days).
Having said that, this is slickdeals Smilie and here, one expects to get the best possible 'bang for the buck' on a given day, hence the deal. Happy to be corrected.

Would love to get this but waiting a year for unlock sucks, that is an unreasonably long wait time 😞 They really should change unlock policy back to 60 days (or less).

No. Have to wait for unlock. I tried with my last Metro Moto phone and it didn't work on T-Mobile until unlock.

Decent phone esp if memory prices stay high. Expect next gen phones to go up in price and/or be delayed.

For me, the Edge would be a bit smaller, a bit lighter, a bit faster, more storage 256GB vs 128GB. Drawbacks: no headphone jack, no microSD card slot, curved screen.

Ha You forgot its landscape function that can act as a PC.
I know TBH most ones don't care about it, but it's important to me : )

not equally brutal. verizon and mvnos are worse now because they require 365 days of active paid service.

for metro you just need to pay the first month
