Title: The price is right! And it is LOADED with features.
Review: The price dropped about $100 so I decided to get myself the first new phone I've had in 4 years. The screen is noticeably better quality; with better color, and brighter, and its 120Hz refresh provides smooth video. The screen tech is the same as the top-tier iPhone & Samsung models. I also like a stylus because it helps with editing which I cannot do with a fingertip.There are several configurations of this device depending on where it is purchased. This particular one is "Unlocked" in its TOP trim. The rest of its specs are impressive considering its current price point. Using several sources, here is a compilation of the following specifications:PerformanceOperating System - Android™ 13, planned upgrade to Android 14Internal Storage - 256GBSensors - Proximity sensor | Ambient light | Accelerometer | Gyroscope | SAR sensor | Magnetometer | Barometer l Fingerprint reader l Sensor HubCPU - Snapdragon® 6 Gen 1 processor Octa-core (4x2.2 GHz Cortex-A78 & 4x1.8 GHz Cortex-A55)GPU - Adreno 600Chipset - Qualcomm SM6450 Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 (4 nm)Expandable Storage - Up to 2TB microSD cardSecurity - Fingerprint reader | Face unlockBatteryBattery Size - 5000mAhBattery Life - Up to 20W charging capableDisplayDisplayDisplay Size - 6.6" FHD+ 105.2 cm²Resolution - Full HD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels), 20:9 ratio (~399 ppi density)Screen to Body Ratio - Active Area-Touch Panel (AA-TP): 92.42%Display Technology - LTPS l 120Hz refresh rateAspect Ratio - 20:9DesignDimensions - 162.83x 73.77 x 9.19mmBuild - Gorilla Glass front, plastic back, aluminum framePorts - 3.5mm headset jack & Type-C port (USB 2.0)Weight - 202g (7.13 oz)Water Protection - Water-repellent designColor - Cosmic Black | Rose ChampagneRear CameraRear Camera Hardware - 50MP (f/1.88, 2.0µm) | Ultra Pixel Technology 8MP (f/2.2, 1.12µm) | Ultrawide + Macro Vision + DepthColor Video Timelapse (w/ Hyperlapse) Video Stabilization Video SnapshotRear Camera Video Capture - UHD (30fps) | FHD (30/60fps) Slow Motion: HD (240fps) | FHD (120fps)Rear Camera Video Software - Macro Video Portrait Video Dual Capture Video Slow Motion Video SpotRear Camera SoftwareShooting modes: Ultra-Res, Dual Capture, Night Vision, Macro Vision, Portrait Mode, Panorama, Pro Mode (w/ Long Exposure), Spot Color, Auto Night Vision, Digital Zoom (up to 8x)Artificial intelligence: Smart Composition, Auto Smile Capture10, Shot Optimization, Google Lens™ integrationOther features: Assistive Grid Leveler, Watermark, Barcode Scanner, Burst Shot, RAW Photo Output, Timer, Live filter, Auto HDR, Active Photos, Quick Capture, Tap Anywhere to CaptureFront Camera Hardware - 16MP (f/2.45, 1.0µm) l Quad Pixel TechnologyFront Camera SoftwareShooting modes: Dual Capture, Pro Mode (w/ Long Exposure), FOV Switch, Auto Night Vision, Portrait, Sport ColorArtificial intelligence: Auto Smile Capture10, Gesture CaptureOther features: Face Beauty, Screen Flash, Burst Shot, Timer, Assistive Grid, Watermark, Leveler, Selfie Photo Mirror, HDR, Live Filter, Active Photos, Selfie Animation, RAW Photo Output, Tap Anywhere to CaptureFront Camera Video Capture - FHD (30fps)Front Camera Video SoftwareShooting modes: Dual Capture, Spot Color, Timelapse (w/ Hyperlapse)Other features: Portrait Video, Face Beauty, Video Stabilization, Video SnapshotAudioSpeakers - Dual stereo speakers; Dolby Atmos®Headphone Jack - 3.5mm headset jackMicrophones - 2ConnectivityNetworks + Bands2G: GSM band 2/3/5/83G: WCDMA band 1/2/4/5/84G: LTE band 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/13/14/17/18/19/20/25/26/29/30/38/39/40/41/48/66/715G: NR band 1/2/3/5/7/12/13/14/25/26/29/30/38/41/48/66/70/71/77/78Bluetooth Technology - Bluetooth® 5.1NFC - YesWi-Fi - Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac | 2.4GHz + 5GHzLocation Services - GPS(L1+L5) | A-GPS |SAP | LTEPP | SUPL | GalileoSIM Card - Single SIM (1 Nano SIM + 1 microSD)Hopefully, you will find this information helpful.

Title: Great phone... Not waterproof
Review: Buy this yesterday already. There is a small amount of easily removable bloatware on this, but otherwise, it's a very affordable phone that comes with a stylus.Connectivity is very good, in the typical Lenovo/Motorola fashion. This is a great phone if gaming is not your thing and if you don't need quirks like foldable displays or cameras with "Samsung 100x space zoom." It's simple, reliable, and has a GREAT price.The screen is very responsive, videos work flawlessly, and the photos from the 3 cameras (1 front, 2 rear) are excellent.The mounting of the stylus (just like the 2021 and 2022 versions) leaves something to be desired, as it WILL fall out at some point. To prevent the loss of said stylus, get a GOOD case like an OtterBox or a DBrand for this phone, and order and keep spare stylus pens on you if you use them a lot (for signing documents and editing photos). I really wish that would be re-located to the top of the phone instead of being stuffed into the bottom, but for most users who don't use the stylus, that's a moot point.I've had several Motorola phones since 2019 (when the LG Stylo was discontinued), and they've all been good. This is yet another one I can recommend.My biggest concern is that this phone is NOT waterproof or even water resistant. My first one got fried by humidity and lake water, so I ordered a second one to replace it. Don't believe the marketing about "water repellent nano coating", get a GOOD case to protect this phone if you're going out on the lake or into a thunderstorm. I am NOT dinging it a star for this.

Title: Excellent value, performance, and features for the money.
Review: I decided to get a new Android phone to replace my aging Note 9 which was going to need a bettery replaced after serving me well for almost 5 years. I am someone who despises the sound of Bluetooth for music so I knew I wanted to find something modern with a stylus and a headphone jack, since I also despise carrying an extra adapter around and want to be able to enjoy my music while the phone is charging without being forced to use Bluetooth. I didn't necessarily need or want a flagship when I went shopping for this phone, just wanted something mid range which supported the latest 5g, Wifi, and Bluetooth standards, and for a mid range phone, the Moto G Stylus 2023 doesn't disappoint.First a couple of potential negatives for some people: I knew I liked the stylus, but never used the remote function so the Moto G only having a basic stylus without the remote camera function of the Galaxies wasn't an issue with me, but, may be for some users who like the more advanced styluses such as the ones that the Galaxy Notes have. The only other negative I have noticed is that while the 50MP camera is great in bright light, it isn't quite as good as some others in low light, but it's far from the worst I have encountered in a modern phone.That being said, now that I have the potential negatives out of the way, I absolutely love everything else about this phone.It's comfortable to hold.The display is clear and crisp and I have no issues using it in any light level from bright daylight to a very dark room. The display is also great for watching movies and videos, and I had no issues doing some light gaming on it either.The battery lasts roughly 2 days with my relatively heavy use.Both cell and Wifi reception are excellent. I work in some very isolated rural areas in the Rocky Mountains and this phone works in places where my co worker's brand new iPhone doesn't on the same carrier (Verizon in this case). No dropped calls or lack of 4g/5g service in many spots where his iPhone is useless.The 256 G of on board memory plus the ability to add 2TB more on a Micro SD card is another plus for this phone, my purchase price for it and a 1 TB micro SD card was a fraction of most flagship phones cost, some of which, including every iPhone ever made, don't even offer the option to add storage.Besides for support for additional memory, if you still like listening to music through a standard headphone jack, this phone doesn't disappoint. The sound is very good though the jack, and the onboard DAC and headphone amp seem to have a great frequency response and an extremely low noise floor and no evidence of RF noise or other annoying interference. Another unadvertised, yet pleasant surprise, which some people may be interested in, was finding that this phone has an FM radio tuner on board, a rarity for a US market phone these days. I tried it out and it performed surprisingly well, great sensitivity for pulling in distant stations and great selectivity which allows for pleasant listening when 2 stations are right next to each other on the dial. It even supports RDS which displays artist name and song titles, among other things, for stations which transmit that data.Overall, a very impressive product for the price, great job Motorola!Highly recommend this phone!

Review: Second time trying a newer Motorola Android smartphone and I am actually impressed with how well these work compared to my usual Samsung, Google, and various other company experiences. For the value you get on this type of budget, it's a great performer and does everything well! Only thing I'm missing is the wireless charging, but I'll acquire that in my next phone perhaps. The display is decent, speakers are loud, bluetooth works well including in my vehicle, NFC is always welcome for convenience. Screen protectors are easy to acquire and install since the screen's flat, and cases are great for this phone. I highly recommend this despite having only a couple years security updates available since it's a last year's model; but you can't go wrong for the price!

Review: Although the product box wasn't sealed, the phone arrived in good condition. All additional components (charger and adapter) were also included in the package. I need to point out that the phone already had the screen protector applied. There were small bubbles, and it wasn't properly adhered to the phone screen, with one edge of the screen unprotected. It didn't bother me much, but it's worth mentioning for those who might be bothered by it. Other than that, the product is exceptional! It arrived a day earlier than expected, great delivery! I don't regret my choice!
