   Great Phone Overall
   I’m a fan of Motorola Phones. Had the Atrix 2 years ago, and Moto G7+ prior to this one. Really liked the Moto G7+ which I think had the perfect screen size at 6.2″ but its camera was really bad indoors. So this review is mainly comparing it to the Moto G7+ which I’m using as the benchmark. The display on this phone is not as good overall as the Moto G7+ which had whiter whites, and much better viewing angles. This display is still very good, with super resolution, and good contrast, but it does have a slight red push, so the G7+ was tops IMO.Battery life is phenomenal on this phone, whereas the G7+ wasn’t great and seemed to degrade over the span of 2 years, but the G7+ had a 27w charger and 3000ma battery and this one has only a 10w charger with a 5000ma battery so the speed to charge is night and day with the G7+ way better. That said, I can get easily 2 days of use on one charge to 80% with this phone, but I keep it in battery saving mode, and don’t use it constantly. The included 10w charger is very slow. Takes about 3 hours from 1-100, and about 1.5 hours from 25% to 80%. This isn’t as much of a big deal for me considering how frugal the phone is with battery consumption when in battery saver mode. To be honest, I keep the display at 60hz, and battery saver almost 100% of the time which helps with that. Battery saver does a number of things, but the main thing is it reduces the CPU mhz pretty dramatically. Even with battery saver on, the phone works about as well as the G7+ did with it off. So I have no really general purpose performance issues with battery saver on which is nice.Power button fingerprint sensor is better than I expected, prefer it over the one on the back of the G7+. I preferred Android 10 to Android 13 look and feel. Really dislike the fat brightness and volume sliders in Android 12/13’s interface. Love the Motorola Gestures like twist to open camera, karate chop to open flashlight which carried over from the G7+. Wish the moto nav button on bottom from the android 10 was preserved from the G7+ which worked better for me than the Android 12/13 nav button which is similar enough. Stylus works pretty well, but its kind of a minor benefit IMO. Good for marking up images mostly. The audio quality is mediocre with only a single speaker. The sound was better on the G7+. Glad it has a 3.5mm headphone jack. Like the NFC and tap to google pay works well. Phone came with 256gb SD card which was a very nice bonus. After android updated from 12 to 13, I had to reinsert the card for it to be recognized again. Call quality is good, people hear me well and I hear them well. Wifi speeds are good.The cameras are an upgrade over the G7+ but that isn’t saying much. Motorola really makes poor choices when it comes to camera image quality for some reason. I wish the camera took sharper, less compressed looking images and gave me more control over the image quality settings. Zooming into my landscape scenery images shows a lot of over-processing and general lack of detail. The compression and over-processing destroys fine detail in tree limbs and leaves. Overall, I really like this phone, but I do wish Moto updates the camera firmware/processing/features to improve overall image quality. I do like having the ultrawide camera lens for wide shots, though its color balance is different than the main 50mp camera. The cameras do a good job with HDR color though.My general takeaway is the G7+ was a higher end spec’d phone getting higher end components vs the Moto G Stylus 5G 2022, even despite the G Stylus 5G being a newer phone and costing me more, it seems to have slightly degraded display and audio quality and charger. Otherwise, its a better phone in mostly every other way except for battery charging speed and overall size. The phone is large and slippery and needs a case with a rubber feel IMO. I picked up an inexpensive gel tpu case on amazon and a tempered glass screen protector and its great now. Overall I’m happy with this phone.

   Good for me
   I really like this phone! However I have been using $39 phones for a decade. You can get a very good phone for $39 if you shop carefully, and go easy on apps.But this Moto G is SO much faster and clearer. No app (that I would use) has made it laggy.Yes it is big, sticks way out of my shirt pocket. However same width as my old (obsolete) LG, so fits in the pocket fine. Touch-screen works well but not “too well” (the LG used to open apps when I brushed it). It transferred all my Contacts and even my Messages (via Google services).And yes this model is 5G. (Beware: some Moto Gs are not 5G.)I learned to stylus on my old PALM Pilot. Much better than a fat blunt finger! The Moto G stylus is quite functional. I do plan to supplement it with USB OTG (for desktop keyboard) and a bluetooth keyboard; for entering tricky passwords or long texts.The camera is good, and has more ‘modes’ than I know what to do with. It is far better than the $39 phone cameras, though hardly 10X better (if camera pizzazz is a priority, read reviews, there are better choices).I know I will never fill the 255GB SD card. (Even the 220++GB internal storage is enormous unless I load all the music I can buy or bootleg.)I got Adobe Acrobat working!! I do a lot of documents, documentation, and plans. The old phone never managed that.Battery capacity seems very good; important here because I have two apps that just guzzle the juice.If you are used to $999 HI-end phones, this may be a letdown. But as a good functional pocket companion.

   Good budget phone
   Got this to replace my aging moto g8 power. Decided to go with moto once again since the price was in my budget.Cons:1. Lower volume than my g8 power. I have problems hearing phone calls with this. I have to find a really quiet place.2. Dim screen outside just like my previous phone. Don’t try to use this out in sunlight. It will not work out well.3. Not dual sim. Not sure why I thought it was but I do miss having my 2 sims with me.4. Stylus is a gimmick. Don’t bother with it. If you think you’re getting a note experience with it think again.Pros:1. Extra memory is a plus. I got the 256GB version with a 256GB card included and the extra memory is great for all my apps, files and media.2. The cameras are good. Not top of the line quality but worth the price.3. Battery life is nice. Not as good as my old g8 power but still lasts me a day.4. 120 Hz refresh rate is sweet. You could see the difference immediately. It’s a battery eater but worth it.

   Considero que por menos de 5mil es un celular eficiente.Interfaz dinámica, relativamente rápido.Cumple con su funcionalidad y más. Mejor que otros de la gama por la protección a polvo y salpicaduras de agua garantizado por su IP52.Actualizado desde que inicias su configuración. En cuánto al Stylus jamás lo había utilizado y me está gustando pero no sé si aproveche al máximo todas sus funciones.

   Screen brightness is a bit low for outdoor use. Free 256 microSD card get corrupted after sometime. Do chkdsk /f to fix the corruption.. advise to replace a known brand microSD.

   El teléfono es aceptable,la batería poco a poco se acaba más rápido, y unas veces no quiere funcionar el touchpad, eso es un problema para los juegos, pero en general está bien para más cosas y para más personas por ejemplo como mis padres
