Introducing the Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2024), a unique offering with an affordable price tag and a bundled stylus. However, those who prioritize gaming or long-term support may want to consider spending a bit more. The phone features a 6.7-inch 1080p OLED display, 8GB of RAM, a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor, and a 5,000mAh battery with 30W wired and 15W wireless charging. It will be available unlocked in the US for $399.99 and in Canada for CA$499.99 starting May 30. Carrier versions will also be launching soon.
During our two-week test of the Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2024), it impressed with its spacious display, included stylus, excellent battery life, and fast charging capabilities. The design features a faux leather back panel that adds a unique touch, along with stereo speakers that deliver loud sound quality. The stylus, while not pressure-sensitive like some other models, offers a more precise input than finger taps. The Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chip provides smooth performance for everyday tasks and simpler games, with impressive stability under load.
The battery life on the Moto G Stylus 5G is excellent, easily lasting through a day or more of use, and charges quickly with the included 30W fast charging support. The phone comes with Android 14 out of the box and promises three years of security updates, but only one OS update to Android 15 next year. The camera performance is what you’d expect from a device in this price range, delivering decent results in well-lit conditions but struggling with motion in other settings.
Overall, the Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) is a standout option for those looking for an affordable phone with unique features like the included stylus. While it may not be the best choice for gamers or those seeking long-term software support, it offers a compelling package at its price point.
