Coming from someone that buys flagship note phones my six-year-old wanted a phone with a stylus. That really narrowed things down. So far I am impressed the 120hz display and aspect ratio is really nice. Has expandable storage and headphone jack. 5000 mah battery is beastly. The cameras seem ok for the price I snagged this for $300 at t mobile. I think it's a good buy for that price.
The shit are you doing buying your 6 year old a phone that "they wanted"? Lol. People wonder why kids are so entitled. Never heard of going to the park I guess
@@JimSalabim17 the majority of kids in elementary school are using tablets and computers in school, so yeah why not keep your kid behind because you can’t accept change.
I got one of my daughters this Stylus. She has an iPad mini but the battery doesn't last long for her school stuff. This phone is basically a phablet. I got it for $300 buck too.
@@JoseMartinez-ul8kr Hope she enjoys it. It has been decent for us and my daughter has really enjoyed it. The stylus software could definitely be better like it is on the Samsung notes but for the price I cant complain.
Great review Kevin. Has 1 dolby speaker that sounds really nice and rich. Got the same unlocked phone for $249.00 and it's a steal at that price with all these great features.
I have the 2021 model & being I carry it Everywhere I also use the Stylus a lot.... At times I would need a Pen & paper.... Instead I whip out the Stylus & jot down Reminders or messages or names & numbers or even grocery lists.... & like you said... The Chop Chop to Flashlight & Twist Wrist for Camera plus 3 finger Screenshot are all Great to use.... I can also use the SD card to have photos made.... & The Headphone jack while on the bus.... Only Moto Stylus gives me what works so well with my life....
Wat android brands would u recommend and not recommend. For a budget phone ad I don’t Wanna pay to much money for a new phone. As I want to upgrade my iPhone se 2020. Any suggestions anyone?
For Me - really Use the Stylus.... But if you don't need it.... I Highly Recommend the.... Moto g 5g.... 2022.... It's already cheap at Carrier's & offers a Lot....free with paying Tax & activation & one month - you can unlock it after 6 months - From Metro by T-Mobile.... Good Luck
I'm a photo file who loves using my own photos. So far the thing I hate most is the big stupid clock on the lock screen that covers my photos. I almost returned this when it wouldn't let me mod that screen clock.
I bought this phone. The whole point of buying a phone with a stylus is to be able to use the stylus. There is an issue with the stylus and note taking. When I pull out the stylus, the "quick" note window pops up. If I write a note and tap on the checkmark, it will say "Note Saved". Then when I go to my notes there is nothing there. Basically, note taking doesn't function correctly and being able to take a quick note at will without having to navigate is probably the most important thing on a stylus phone.
I stopped buying flagships after the HTC One M9. Yeah, it’s been a while. My last phone was an LG Stylo 5. My carrier has it for $109. I just picked it up and so far it’s better than the LG. I do have a TCL 20A 5g and it seems the Moto is better but I really use the stylus and missed it on the TCL.
I'm currently still watching this review and I'm a bit stuck on deciding what phone to upgrade to from the g7 Power (32gb isnt cutting it and the battery isnt lasting like it used to). The A53 cpu is slow I read. This phone I can get for $250 or should I wait for the Pixel 6a?
A53 isn't terrible honestly. It's not going to compete with flagships or anything. However, I would put the power slightly less than the SD 750G, and I do mean slightly. Battery life for me is outstanding however. But some folks aren't having the same experience as me.
@@tylerdunlap1307 moto g power is trash compared to this being reviewed as for a 53 4k is the only thing over this phone I had a53 as well it sucks period . As far as moto g power can't touch the phone in review that's in the review I paid 299 TMobile.
I would advise staying away from pixels. I am on my second (currently the pixel 5) and both have been complete garbage. Very glitchy, will get stuck in a reboot cycle, and likes to randomly SOS call 911 (actually happened to me this morning). I just bought this moto because my husband has the 2021 version and he really likes it.
I have the 2021 Moto G Stylus from Cricket. I use it as Wi-Fi only device. My very first cell phone was a Motorola. I still have an affinity for Motorola devices. I’m thinking about getting the Moto Edge from last year. I use my Oneplus charger to turbo charge my Moto G Stylus. That headphone jack is a must have for some people.

@@preston8872 If your willing to switch to Metro by T-Mobile, you can get the Samsung Galaxy A53, Oneplus Nord 20 5G, 2022 Moto G Stylus 5G, or the TCL 30XE 5G, all for under $100. The better value in my opinion is the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is $199. The best thing to do is hit up your local Metro and see the devices in person. Cricket don’t have as many good deals and phones like Metro. The 2021 Moto G Stylus 5G or the Samsung Galaxy A32 5G are the only devices I can recommend if you stick with Cricket. I don’t know what your budget is but both upgrade prices are under $200. The upgrade price for the A53 is about $349. Make sure to call your local Cricket store.
Owning the first Moto G Stylus (2020) here in Canada had high hopes this would be its successor... Motorola felt no need to release G Stylus (2021), G Stylus 5G (2021) or G Stylus (2022) in Canada. But alas all we're being offered is the G Stylus 5G (2022) 128/4 variant with pretty much same old support (maybe an extra year of bi-monthly security patches so woohoo six more patches). Please Motorola leave already you are just wasting our time and your feeble offerings have become an utter embarrassment!?!?!?
would I be disappointed in this phone coming from a Samsung note 9? I like the stylus feature but don't want to shell out 1300 bucks for the new Samsung S22 Ultra which has the note feature. thanks.
Same here been looking at the S22 Ultra but the 1300 price tag makes me sick. Bought the Note 20 Ultra 2 years ago and said I'd never pay that price again...but I love my s pen so when I saw this phone with a s pen got me to checking it out. Love the price. Thanks for reviews
What's Motorola's Android update policy? Like how Samsung has a list of phones which will get "at least" three full Android updates, plus security updates.
@@justchillin7274 Thanks. I'm kinda new to "smart" phones. But it seems to me that many companies assume (or intentionally plan) that customers will only keep their phones for a year or two at most so they aren't incentivized to provide long-term support, Apple excluded and to a lesser extent Samsung. Whereas I kept my last two "feature" phones for four years each. I've read statements from Blu, for example, which all but say "the version of Android on the phone when you buy it is the only version that phone will ever get."

Samsung fanboy. I look at these comments sections and see people will only buy a Samsung. When the Chinese manufacturers like Realme come to the US, people like OP are going to call them scammers. The only Chinese manufacturer out in the US, Umidigi, is already getting similar "too good to be true" complaints.
how do I make this phone allow all incoming calls to go directly to voicemail? my other phone used to do it and I can't do it on this phone at least I don't know how to, do I have to download a different type of ringer? Thank you!
I bought one from Amazon a few days ago. On that one the screen was atrocious. It looked very warm and almost dirty like. All the whites were more yellow or brownish. Yours the whites look really white. If I held that one at a severe angle thats the only way whites looked white. Looking at it straight on it just looked yellowish brown. I asked Motorola and they said theres a range in the spec on the display and theres variablity in the displays. That sucks because the one I got was horrible I returned it.
Why does every video or movie on CZcams is so damn blurry but I try to switch to 360 or 720 it gets clear but it buffers how do I change the way I can watch stuff on CZcams without buffering and blurriness all the time

No 3.5 is a plus just like on a PC , a USB DAC (24 bit/192Khz , 110dB dynamic range) is better than your phone audio. I am using a Creative Play!4 DAC and bought a TRRS mic/audio splitter
I'm buying this phone specifically because of Android 12, the snapdragon, memory, and ram.
There only 4gb ram suck
Unlocked is 8gb RAM
@@bayfinest1938 8gb of ram
This is the phone to get if you like stylus without breaking the bank. I got one from my carrier at even cheaper price. It's got everything I want.
Unfortunately, it's not available in 8 gigs of RAM with any carrier here in Texas. All carriers have it but with 4gb RAM.
I just ordered one with 8/256 from Amazon that is unlocked for all carriers. They even threw in a 256GB SD Card for like $260.00.
