The Moto G Stylus 2025 stands out as a budget-friendly Android with an OLED display, headphone jack, microSD support, optical zoom, and a faster Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chip than the 2024 model. Smart Connect and Ready For style desktop features are present, and the phone is often described as a solid Wi Fi device or backup for a year. The main drawback is Metro's 365 day unlock wait, with no need to keep paying after the first month but little carrier flexibility until then. Battery life, bloat, and AT&T or Cricket compatibility also come up as practical concerns.

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 : )

ST/Visible also have 365-day unlock so they will be equally brutal!

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

For all cellphones Activated on or after January 27, 2026, the cellphone will be unlocked upon request after 365 days of paid and active service.
