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.
People wanting a roomy everyday Android phone, because the 256GB storage, 8GB RAM, big screen, and responsive performance handle notes, media, and normal tasks well.
People who want a midrange phone with useful extras, because it includes a fingerprint reader, headphone jack, wireless charging, and near-stock Android.
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.
well, right now the 2025 version I believe is the newest (unless there's a 2026)
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.
There is a 2026 model. That's what I'm talking about. 2024 model is end of life, support wise.
I buy from a carrier that I know works for me and I know I will stay with for the period.
Actually just bought the Pixel 10 from Mint for $350. The price includes 1 year of Unlimited service. Unlocks in 60 days. "7 years" of support.
Hopefully my free Moto every year or 2 days are over.
They say unlocked. They were retaped and the paper that covers the phones was missing. IMEI were correct though. https://www.ebay.com/itm/136452840176
Guess I got lucky with ordering the caramel latte color from them. I know they can be hit and miss sometimes, I had a problem with some tools from there
I lost my stylus and it made the screen way too sensitive. I had to buy replacement stylus from aliexpress for a few bucks. Fit perfectly in the slot, taped it down this time so it won't fall out again. I never use it anyhow but the touch screen won't work correctly without it slotted
I use it mainly as a media player and backup phone. also acts as a non work related phone for nsfw stuff. all downloaded media goes to the 512gb SD card. take it with me everywhere 😂

Probably will sell out any second
