Limited Support for this model: Motorola's current U.S. support page for the Moto G Stylus 2025 now explicitly lists:
Launched with: Android 15
Upgraded to: Android 16
Next OS: Android 17
Security updates through: March 2028
Security patches: at least bi-monthly �
Motorola Support US
So, as of now, the expected OS path is:
Android 15 → Android 16 → Android 17
That means Android 17 is currently planned to be the final major OS upgrade, unless Motorola later extends support

I've had two for almost a year. Great phone for the price: near-stock android, headphone jack, microSD slot, great OLED 120hz screen, 68w fast charging (full charge in 40 minutes), great battery life, smooth performance, reliable fingerprint reader and face unlock. Cameras are pretty decent, but will struggle in difficult lighting or with fast movement. The only real negative for me is no Always on Display.

Now that's a correct price for a good phone! This is a superb deal!
In terms of features - it beats many $1000+ phones.
The only (and it's a major) downside is the stupidly limited upgrade/support by Motorola, at only 2 years.

Great phone, my son has the 128/8 version. Just out a good case on, the screen is big and cracks easily. Don't put it in your rear pocket and sit either down.

Did the battery ever get better on this phone? When I tried it, it was terrible, didn't seem like it was optimized very well. Went with the 2024. Holding that until the end of 2028. No support for one year isn't that big of a deal right? Apps have their own support

And then no more aux input. I am very sad

Certainly a great deal for a backup phone but note that this has half the storage (128GB).

Motorola makes an excellent value phone with great battery life that works well. If you're looking for a strong phone on a budget, this is it. Love that it has a 3.5mm jack.

That said, it doesn't have the most powerful processor, and the camera is good but not amazing. The other downside is Glance. Really annoying data collection app that Motorola will reinstall on every update.

If you use Google Fi the current model year is regularly on sale for $100 with subscription restrictions.

This is one of those phones that are free with a $60 plan and then wait 1 year to unlock. Is it worth 4x more to get immediate unlock and a bit more storage?

Got this a while ago and it's a pretty solid phone. The stylus is not useful at all, even as someone who likes drawing and taking notes, i feel no need to use it. i'd compare the stats to your old phone and if the only big draw here is the stylus and maybe a slight upgrade in hardware, i'd skip and wait for the next moto phone deal. they seem to come pretty quick and are usually really good deals.

Had it and sold it cheap on FB Marketplace. Camera is typical Moto..not good with poor detail. It's hard to go from any Pixel to these Moto G and Stylus for camera and speed. I picked up a 2026 Moto Edge on Cricket and the camera is ok and a jump up in performance, but again not as good as a Samsung A36/37 or Pixel. Overall the Edge is solid. One annoying thing is the camera auto switches from macro and wide angle and the distortion is sad.

The free + two months locked is the best value, and you can always get a cheap SD card to increase storage. Those deals are only offered sporadically though so you have to plan a few months in advance.

You want the most powerful processor on a $400 phone?
