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, it's $65 for first month. After that, it's $60 with autopay.

I ordered the phone. UPS lost it. When talking to Metro heavy accent indian guy I got an email saying (thanks for activating you new phone) Once that happened I was scr3ewed. 8 calls to Customer service I finally ended up disputing it CC. During all the heavy accent phone calls they lied there arses off about everything. UPS was useless since I was not the shipper. Metro by Tmobile is a no go for me ever. Now the deal has expired and my phone is cracked screen. Waste of time

you can try to switch devices
in your metro account, click your telephone line, then "Switch Devices" and enter the esim of the metro phone.
But Beware. I am not sure if it will allow it, or if it will do something to cancel/delay/increase the 1 year unlock period of either phone. I was thinking about this with the razr 2024 from last December to try it out, but the risks are unknown regarding the device unlock period.

I had a G Stylus (2022) I think and the call quality was so bad I couldn't keep it. This was on Tello which has never been a problem. Can someone comment on whether they have fixed bad speaker quality or whatever was the problem back then?

Just activated last week but looking at the Network Unlock prompt, it says: this device must be used on this phone number for 180 days.

Metro by T-Mobile... seriously, I hope only activating for $55 for a month, will unlock it in six months or the year requirement. We are ok, Right?

Thats because the promo price was increased by $10 so now must spend $65 to get the phone free.

Dont opt for auto pay ... this is prepaid, you dont need to pay anything after 1st month
That'd do, or take the number out to other carrier like USMobile, a mo of free service and Metro will automatically close the line.
