Stylish, fast, and reliable-a really good value for the cost.
This is a great phone for the price. It operates smoothly and does everything I need, just like more expensive models. The large screen is clear and bright, which makes it great for streaming, browsing, and everyday use.The Scarlet Wave color looks beautiful in person, and the phone feels solid and well made in hand. The 50MP camera takes sharp, vibrant photos, and having 256GB of storage with 8GB of RAM is plenty for apps, pictures, and videos without running out of space.Overall, it’s stylish, fast, and reliable-a really good value for the cost. I’d definitely recommend it and would purchase another if I needed a backup.

A great Moto G Phone!
Motorola phones have generally served me we throughout the many years. My entire family round on these Motorola devices and with good reason.One, the most important and biggest reason is that these Motorola phones are wallet friendly, they cost less, and yet they offer so much more than lots of other expensive flagships have to offer on the table.Features that have been omited now in 2025 such as the micro SD card slot for expandable memory of up to 1 TB over the already generous and plentiful 256 GB’s of internal storage which is a major plus.Then, the headphone jack still lives on these Motorola devices which while I may not use it cause I have Bluetooth buds, these are still useful and great to have anyways!!Performance might not be the most insane, but it’s powerful enough, it’s a dependable Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor paired with 8 Gigs of RAM, handles lots of daily tasks quite nicely, and I could play games at lower settings and still get a pretty solid experience. Plus, it’s not that expensive.Camera’s are okay, I’m not expecting anything too crazy at this price, but they have served me well so far!!Screen is beautiful with a giant 6.7 inch Smoked display with Super Full HD display, which is not as common on devices like these, everything looks crisp and colors are nice on screen, device color options are two kinds of blue, while I do like the Surf the Web blue, there could have been another better color option, but honestly, I don’t really care. I put a case on this anyways.Phone is great overall!!

Best Phone I’ve Had (and I’ve owned a lot of Moto’s) — Definitely the Current Bargain!
I’ve been a rather loyal Motorola phone user. First of all, my first cellular phone (way back in the day) was Motorola, but I’ve also owned Moto/Motorola branded smartphones since the Nexus 6 (which was branded Google but was actually made by Motorola). After that phone’s internal storage failed on me ( watch — this will become a pattern), I bought a Moto G5S Plus. Then after 2 years when it’s internal storage failed on me (told you — pattern!), I bought first model Moto G Stylus. Then my first Stylus started showing the now familiar signs of failing internal storage (again after 2 years), I bought the Moto G Stylus 5G 2022. I admit that I probably could’ve continued using the original Moto G Stylus for a while longer (maybe?), but I also really wanted 5G capability, so when the original Stylus first started slowing down, I just went ahead and bought the then current 5G Stylus model. That was 3 years ago, and just recently (much to my surprise), my Moto G Stylus 5G 2022 started showing signs of a failing battery. Yes, I could’ve just replaced the battery, but the phone was already 3 years old and I had been watching it carefully for the past year for any sign of the familiar internal storage failure. I just didn’t think it was worth the time/trouble to replace the battery only for the internal storage to likely fail sometime soon. So, I decided to move on to the Moto G Stylus 2025.The Positives:And…WOW. Very significant, obvious upgrade! I think everything on the phone is a big improvement over the Stylus 2022 model. The phone is much faster with the newer higher end processor, the cameras are much better quality (as is the improved Moto Camera app, which…sorry…has previously just been useless), the stylus features/apps are much nicer, love the fingerprint sensor being in the screen rather than on the power button, the screen seems much brighter with better refresh (even though I think its technically the same), love the faster wifi with Wifi6, love the newer Bluetooth, and I really like that Moto has kept the headphone jack and expandable storage. The rest of the improvements are mostly due to the OS upgrade, but you can’t really disregard those when the older Stylus isn’t receiving anymore OS upgrades.The new cameras are just superb in comparison to the Stylus 2022, and I really liked the Stylus 2022 cameras. I’ve always used GCam ports (specifically BSG MGC) with my Stylus 2022, which is why I always got the great photos that I did. The Moto Camera 3 app was actually just lousy. It used to take a decent enough photo, but then the post processing would pixelize and blotch up the image. The new Moto Camera 5 app actually works a lot like the Google Camera (GCam) and actually enhances the photo in post processing rather than ruining it. I still installed GCam port and sometimes use it, but for most photos I just use the Moto Camera 5 app.So far the battery life has been great, but so was all my Moto cameras, so there’s no real surprise there.I was a little disappointed in the lack of color choices of the Moto G Stylus 2025, and I especially miss the seafoam green of my Moto G Stylus 5G 2022 (which I wasn’t tired of at all), but I’ve actually really come to like the purple-ish blue color of “Surf the Net” (whatever that’s supposed to mean), and I’ve put it in a clear case like I did my Stylus 2022 to show off the color.More a matter of market timing than anything else, but it’s also nice that this time around I actually found that 1TB microSD cards are now reasonably priced, about as much as the 512GB ones were back when I bought the Stylus 2022. So, now I have a phone with 1,256GB of storage for around $460 total. You’re definitely not going to be able to find a Samsung or Apple phone model with that much storage (and all these features) for that low of a price. Moto is definitely the best thing going in bargains.The Negatives:Most of these aren’t true negatives, and are actually more like situational issues for me, personally. First of all, I don’t like the new Gemini AI. I was able to easily avoid it when Google offered it as a software upgrade in my last phone, but it’s built-in to this one’s ROM. It took several tries, but I think I’ve finally turned it off in most areas of my phone and I’m almost entirely back on the good ol’ reliable Google Assistant. I’m sure eventually I will only be offered Gemini.Another personal negative is that apparently this phone is now entirely 64-bit so I ended up losing several of my favorite 32-bit apps. One of them is PicSay Pro photo editor, which is hands-down the best Android photo editor available even though it hasn’t had an update or even supported for over a decade. It was removed from Chromebook when it was finally removed from the Google Play Store as unsupported, but it wasn’t removed from my phone until I tried to upgrade to this phone and migrate all data and apps. Even so, I tried the backup/restore method to move an old app and it didn’t work, citing that the app is not compatible with my phone. The problem is that there is no other photo editor that even comes close to this decade old unsupported app, which is truly pathetic. Fortunately, the latest version of Google Photos that came with the new OS on this new phone, at least has most of PicSay Pro’s features, but still not all of them. And no, Snapseed doesn’t have it all either. Oh, well.There are other little issues, too, like for whatever reason Moto decided to copy Apple and have the usual power button changed into a multi-function button that does everything except power on/off the phone. That’s pretty annoying considering the main reason I’m sticking with Moto is because it’s not typically going the way of Apple, Samsung, and Google.Summary:Definitely the best phone I’ve ever owned, and even though I’ve liked all my Moto phones, I thought that was never going to happen again after the Nexus 6. The positives far outweigh any negatives (if there are any legit negatives that would matter to anyone except me), and Moto has definitely brought the Stylus way into the realm of a flagship more than a mid-class phone. With how Samsung and Google went completely Apple-esque with having no expandable memory, no headphone jack, and a ridiculous high pricetag, the market for me has now ceased to be a question of Android vs. iOS, and it’s now Moto vs everything else. For now, I’m very happy sticking with Moto.

Wow, what a great phone.
I purchased this phone as a secondary backup phone. My idea is to alternate it weekly with my more expensive OnePlus 9 pro 5g phone. For the price I paid, it is a fantastic budget phone.This phone has many high end features such as wireless charging, NFC, a P-oled 1080 screen, Dolby Atmos speaker sound, 8gb of RAM and 256 storage. In addition, it has expandable storage and a stylus.The phone has updated already to the latest Android 15, a nice bonus. It’s performance is really good, I don’t notice much of a difference from my 12 gb RAM One Plus phone. Perhaps the screen is not as crispy sharp–although that could be my eyes. But for it’s price, it’s not at all terrible. The camera also in my opinion is lacking a little in color replication. It doesn’t have that “wow, that looks good! ” effect. But again, it’s not terrible. The audio sound is good from the speakers for music, although a bit on the low end for voice…Just a little bit.I’ll tell you though… I like the layout and colors, the way apps and icons appear, the whole navigating around, it’s just easy to find and do things on this phone. There is so much pop up information to let one know what’s going on, what action to do next. It’s user friendly unlike my expensive phone that leaves me baffled sometimes.This is a great phone if you’re not looking to wow your friends with photos or with the status level identity. I initially was going to return it because I read a review that mentioned no updates were available. But it has had 2 to 3 updates since I charged it. I’m glad I kept it.Get yours now.

i like the crisp, clear display and the features as advertised. the scarlet color also looks good but i would really prefer if they have one in navy blue or cobalt blue.too bad it does not have a scheduled power on/off option. i had a moto g power once which if you set an alarm then switch the phone off, it switches back when the alarm hits. unfortunately, they removed that option too.

Doesn’t ship to Singapore. Reordered TWICE and paid TWICE with same delivery issue without telling what is the problem. Come on Moto, at least live up to your status and tell your customers up front that you can’t ship internationally and stop us from paying you wastefully.
