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).

In some ways yes, in some ways no.

The processor is certainly less capable on the stylus. Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 vs 6 Gen 3. I don't really game, so that doesn't matter a whole lot to me and I don't expect to notice a difference in day to day usage. The 512GB of storage vs 128GB is certainly a concern. I have a 256GB card laying around from my previous phone. I can always go get a 512GB or even 1TB card, so I'm not too worried about that. I'm not sure if accessing pictures, video, podcast from a microSD vs internal storage will be noticeably slower.

The big thing that I know for sure is better on the G Stylus is the wireless charging. I'm not sure if it's a problem on every Edge+ 2022 or just poor quality control, but mine has a lot of problems trying to charge wirelessly. It seems it charges full speed for a few minutes, then drops down to 1-2W. I've tested the G Stylus with my 15W and 10W charges and it seems to charge full speed the whole time. I also like having a stylus for the fairly rare times that I want to markup an image on my phone.

I'm not obligated to switch to the stylus, but it will be nice to have the option. I also like the idea of having something on hand that I can switch to if my edge+ dies suddenly. I've had 2 phones (Galaxy Note 4 and Moto Z2 Force) that just suddenly wouldn't turn on one day. No water, drops, or any trauma, just suddenly dead. Maybe the Edge+ will keep going for a few more years, but if it suddenly dies after August I'm good to go.

There's also a chance my mom or dad could need a new phone.
Sounds like a plan. I too am currently using the Edge+ 2022 (never used wireless charging since I only charge it 1 time a day using a fast charger). Might pick up this deal as a back up for mine or my folks phones. I really want to try one of the Razor folding phones tho.

Anyone who has this phone, could you please provide the model/sku number from Settings --> About Phone? I want to check against the AT&T whitelist to see if it's supported. Should be XT-xxxx-x
Thanks!

I have read negative feedback for that site, charging money then saying they couldn't unlock phone, and gave no refund. If you decide to use them, please let us know how it turns out.

No. The customer service couldn't do it on chat. I tried.

Any one knows how many lines are allowed in one account? I have two lines and there is no "add a line" option in my account.

Do you have any phone not yet activated? If yes, it must be activated before you can add more lines. The number of discounted phones in one account varies depending on Metro's whim. I have one discounted G Stylus 2025 and two iPhone13's in my account. Any phone after that requires full price.

Both phones are activated and working fine. I bought 2nd phone through add a new line option, but now that option is not in my account any more, seems it limited my account to 2 lines.
