Title: Everything you need without the cost!
Review: I have been a Samsung Note user since the series was launched, but after the Note 9, I struggled with justifying the cost of upgrading for so little that was new and useful. I stayed on the Note 9 for many years, and finally, when my provider could no longer replace my Note 9 under extended warranty, I was forced to look at another brand.Enter the Moto G Stylus 5G 2024! Amazon was running a promotion on this brand new release from Motorola, and at $317.95 for a brand new unlocked Moto flagship, I was absolutely down for that. I got so used to paying $1,300 to $1,500 for the latest Samsung flagship phone release, I almost forgot what bang for the buck value looked like! :)As I walked through the Specs of this phone, I couldn't help but feel like, wow, I've been overpaying for a large screen and stylus forever....need to try something new. And I wasn't dissapointed! I had been considering the Pixel 8 Pro for several months, but I couldn't get one from my mobile provider, and I couldn't get a good deal for an unlocked version ($799 to $999) so I started looking at Motorola.Low and behold, their latest flagship Stylus 5G (just launched in May 2024) was on Promo 🙂 The big draw for me with both the Pixel and the Moto Stylus was that they were Google phones...literally. Everything about them was Google centric. And better yet, no bloatware or stupid useless skins over the Android experience. Just pure Google/Android and great Apps.The new phone transfer process was seamless and super easy! I just took my Sim Card out of my old handset, and threw it into the Moto G Stylus, and immediately Google's phone transfer process kicked in. Step by step, device to device, in about 45 minutes I was done. That's it, easy peezy.My initial few days with the new Moto, man, a $1,000 less in cost for very good performance, 120Hz refresh rate, Google centric Android experience, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of Flash Storage, Nice Aluminum stylus, good Apps for Notes, Art/Drawing, Editing, etc. WiFi performance is excellent, Cellular reception is much better than my previous $1,400 Note 9, Bluetooth range is excellent, Camera is solid, with Pro features and capabilities if you wanna get all high end with your cameras, camera software is way better than the 2023 version, MP is up(50), camera quality is way up (software improvements), embedded storage is more than adequate for on device storage needs (256GB's is a lot of local storage, when you store everything to Google Drive), and the performance of the SnapDragon SOC, while not the latest and greatest, it powers through moderate gaming, is awesome for media consumption (streaming video) UI is super fluid, no jittery transitions, swipe is butter, couldn't be happier with the overall performance.It comes loaded with Android 14, it has an Audio Jack port! and it supports Micro SD card storage up to 2TB (although I haven't physically confirmed that) and Dolby ATMOS with two very capable speakers integrated for excellent sound performance. The 6.7" pOLED screen is outstanding, Refresh Rate is awesome (120Hz), SnapDragon 6 SOC is solid, all that and the all day 5,000mAh battery + rapid charging (35W wired, 15W wireless) you've got as complete a package as I've ever seen.In short, I'm done paying an arm and a leg for technology I don't really need. Give me rock solid value every day. The Moto G Stylus 2024 is just that, Maximum bang for the buck on every front, and I don't have to take out a 24 month loan to buy it!!! I would highly recommend trying this handset out!8/29/24 Quick update for everyone on adding MSD storage to the phone. 2TB's is overkill for me because I use Google Drive for backup and Amazon Photo's as well, so I don't need ton's of onboard storage, but for the sake of checking out the Micro SD card capability, I dropped $35 on a 1TB SanDisk High Speed MSD, dropped it in, and instantly recognized as external (not embedded) storage, and the only choice you need to make is whether you want to format it such that you can move the card to any device as external storage, or leave it as phone dedicated storage and you're done. Once again, seamless experience, no hassles, no incompatibility problems, nothing. Plug and Play. Having used the handset now for several weeks, it's more awesome than I originally thought. It just does soooo much for so little cash, I'm giving it a 10 out of 10. Lesson learned, don't be a slave to specs. This phone is boss, hands down the best stylus enabled large handset for the buck. I can't wait to see the next gen of this handset......all smiles friends 🙂 🙂 🙂

Title: Great phone, nice screen
Review: Good phone for the price.Good:Price, smooth operation, great screen, strong speaker volume, has NFC, wireless charging, moto gestures (actually pretty useful, chop-chop motion to turn on the light, and twist to turn on the camera). Has a headphone jack. Battery life is excellent. In screen fingerprint reader has worked great for me.Ok:Stylus is nice to have but isn't super once you have a screen protector (tempered glass) it cuts the sensitivity down too much, makes it skip, but is still usable. It's a little bit big in the hand, but it's not a deal breaker, expect it with a phone this size. It feels solid and is a good shape doesn't feel like it will slide out of your hand.Overall it's a solid choice for a daily phone that won't shred your wallet.*Upgraded multiple phones in the family to these after using it for a while. I would and have recommended to others

Title: So much better than 2021 version
Review: My hands shake! It's a genetic thing and I can't do much about it. I say this, because when I realized the battery in my 2021 Moto Stylus G is not staying charged, I needed to get a replacement that preferably had a nice camera with stabilizing ability. I almost got a high-end phone, but then I realized that almost none of them has expandable memory. I am not okay with that. I did some research on the latest Moto Stylus phone and I liked what I read. Now that, I've had a few days to test it out, I like it a lot. I'll lay out a few reasons. by the way, I took the two pictures above with the Moto Stylus 2021 and Moto Stylus 2024. I'll let you guess which picture is from which.#1 Camera -- my favorite feature of this phone is the camera. I don't know if the camera has a physical or software stabilizer, or both; to me it doesn't matter, because my pictures turn out so much better!#2 Speed -- I'm used to turning on my phone and waiting a bit for it to load up after a reset. This new stylus phone loads up really quickly and I'm surprised at how quickly I can use it.#3 -- The Stylus -- The stylus has a newer design to it. To me it feels more sturdy and easier to use than my old stylus#4 -- Software -- The software seems improved overall. I am enjoying all the minor tweaks that Android has made since version 11.#5A -- Finger sensor -- I'm not a fan of the change. The finger sensor is now on the screen. I like having the sensor on the back of the device. I realize they did this, to allow for wireless charging; so most will prefer this. Also, I don't really need the finger sensor anymore, because of facial unlocking; nevertheless, I still prefer the finger sensor to be on the back of the device.#5B -- Facial sensor -- A new feature for me, this works great; I have a beard, and the phone has no problem recognizing me.#6 -- Screen -- The LED screen on the old Moto, was pretty good; however, the OLED screen on the new phone is really nice.#7 -- I reused the SD card from my old device, however, it works well and I have no lag in performance using it. I also look forward to upgrading it in the future, should I run out of room... 2 TB is an insane amount of space.Pros:Excellent cameraProcessor and ram are fastStylus feels goodSoftware has good improvements over allThe new OLED screen is a good leap forwardCan hold up to 2 TB of add on storageCon:Finger sensor now on the screen instead of the back of the device.
