Let’s cut to the chase: the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) is the underdog that punches WAY above its price tag. After using it daily for weeks, here’s the real tea.

Stylus Game Strong (But Is It Essential?): The built-in stylus is fun for notes and doodling, but let’s be real—it’s more of a ‘nice-to-have’ than a daily driver. The slot keeps it from getting lost (unlike *cough* Samsung’s S-Pen). Pro tip: Great for editing photos or signing docs on the fly.

Camera That Shines (Literally): That 50MP sensor? Shockingly good for a budget phone. Low-light shots are crisp, and OIS saves shaky-handed folks like me. But heads up: Third-party app scanning (looking at you, Amazon Flex) sometimes freezes—hoping for a software fix soon.

Battery Beast Mode: 30W charging + all-day battery? Yes, please. Even with my doomscrolling habits, it survives a 16-hour day. Bonus: Works with older chargers, but grab Motorola’s case—it hugs the phone like a glove.

Storage for Days: 256GB + RAM Boost means no more ‘storage full’ panic. I haven’t even popped in my SD card yet. Take that, iPhone users.

OLED Eye Candy: That 6.7" pOLED screen with Dolby Atmos? Netflix binges feel premium. Just don’t expect flagship brightness under direct sunlight.

Quirks Alert: Dry fingers? The touchscreen might ignore you. And the caramel latte vegan leather back? Gorgeous, but slippery—case mandatory.

Verdict: For $250-ish? A STEAL. It’s like getting a mid-range phone with a free stylus party trick. If you’re upgrading from an older LG or tired of Samsung bloat, this is your dark horse.
