If this bargain doesn’t tempt you enough, the Moto G Stylus 5G (2023) may be a better pick. Unlike its successor, this fella doesn’t boast a pOLED display, but it’s generously discounted—by $170, to be precise. That brings it down to $209.99 from its $399.99 original price. In our opinion, the newer model is the better choice, even though it’s not discounted right now. Not only does it feature an OLED display, but it’s slightly larger, too. This buddy packs a 6.7-inch screen with 120Hz refresh rates. On top of that, the display has high maximum brightness levels, which, of course, improves outdoor visibility.
While testing the camera, we found out it’s surprisingly good. The Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) has a 50 MP main sensor and a 13 MP ultra-wide lens, which do a great job of capturing memorable moments. True, photos taken with the main camera may turn out slightly oversaturated, and the ultra-wide unit can’t capture much detail in shadows. However, given its asking price, this Android 14 phone has a great camera overall. Check out the photo samples in our Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) review for additional context.
As for performance, this buddy doesn’t excel on that front. It comes with the same SoC as its predecessor, Snapdragon 6 Gen 1. Our benchmark tests showed it’s a tad less capable than the Galaxy A35. Still, it’s good enough for day-to-day use.Ultimately, the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) is a fantastic mid-ranger, one that stylus fans should definitely check out. If it tickles your fancy, go ahead and check out Motorola’s bundle offer that lets you save $299.99 on a new pair of wireless Bluetooth earbuds.
