The Moto G Stylus 5G 2024 stands out as a budget phone with a big screen, built in stylus, 8 GB of RAM, and 256 GB of storage, plus expandable storage, a headphone jack, fingerprint reader, and fast charging. The camera, battery life, and near stock Android get strong praise, and the phone is described as responsive enough to last for years with a case and screen protector. The main drawbacks are limited update support, bloatware, occasional glitches, and no water or dust resistance. The $199.99 price is framed as fair for the storage, though not a rare low.
Common Questions (5)
It's a solid price for a new unlocked 256GB/8GB model, but it has also been sitting around this price for a while on Motorola's site and elsewhere. The value is mainly the 256GB storage, 8GB RAM, and stylus features rather than a fresh price drop.
The 2024 model is expected to receive OS upgrades only up to Android 15, and security updates are believed to end sometime next year. That makes it a better buy if you want the hardware value now, not long-term update support.
Its strengths are the large screen, big battery, stylus, fingerprint reader, near-stock Android, headphone jack, expandable storage, fast charging, and wireless charging. The main drawbacks are the passive stylus without palm rejection, bloatware like Moto Glance, occasional stutters or glitches, and no water or dust resistance.
Yes, it supports expandable storage via SD card and includes a microphone jack for wired headsets. That makes the 256GB model easier to live with if you store lots of media or want a backup phone.
Yes, losing the stylus can make the screen overly sensitive and the touch input behave incorrectly until a replacement is inserted. A replacement stylus can fit the slot, but it may need to be secured so it does not fall out again.

However, I have this phone in a 2023 version and it's a great phone and the 256gb size is great.
I've personally had excellent experience with my phone. Almost 3 years later, still works like new and very responsive. Yes at some point you'll stop getting updates on it , but I can't say that's been on issue for me.
Big screen, has the stylus for taking notes, finger print reader, NSC for payments, etc. Lots of bells/whistles and my camera takes great pix and video.

I haven't found this phone below $200 as "unlocked" and "new"; you can find the 128 GB version "used" on Amazon for around $160-170. Or - if you don't mind locked - Verizon Value on ebay sells the Tracfone locked 128 GB version with a 1500 minutes / 1500 text / 1.5GB annual plan for $80.

Many people come to slickdeals to search for a phone when they actually need one. So even though the $199 price has been in play for a time, it doesn't mean it's not a deal 'per se' because for this much bang for the buck on an unlocked phone, I know of no better price right now. (not counting free phones with a plan deals that your phone is locked to a carrier for 12 months)
Sure, on Black Friday 3 months from now we prob will, but if you need a phone now to replace a busted phone, that is when you are shopping. And if this is the best deal out there, it's still a deal to the person in need.
Is it a 'deal' as far as, the price just dropped? no, but IMO it is still a good deal, even if the price has been $199 for 3 months or whatever. I'd bite if my 2023 Stylus just crapped out on me.

I have this exact phone (2023 version) and it's a great phone, very pleased with the performance and I used it a good amount. Just get a good protective case and a screen protector for it for under $10 on Amazon.

Not sure why this is getting TD'ed. (Other than the 2024 model year)

I typically get these type Moto's free, in carrier port deals but still only current year models.

so let's say you do the deal you speak of, the phone is locked to that carrier for 12 months and you're probably paying 2-3x the cost at $40-60 a month versus a $15 a month all inclusive plan.
So your 2025 version won't unlock until Aug 2027 and it's the same 'age' as the phone on this deal. Thus I see no value in doing that if you need the phone now rather than overpaying or using it for a month or two to meet the conditions and sticking it in a drawer until next August to have it unlock.
