✅Recommended if: you're looking for a phone that comes with a stylus; you've liked other Motorola phones you've owned in the past; you want a phone with excellent battery life and fast-charging.
❌Skip this deal if: you prefer phones offering more than one OS upgrade; you aren't really looking to use a stylus with your phone.
The 2024 Motorola Moto G Stylus is one of the most impressive mid-range phones we've ever tested, and it's also an obvious pick for the best Motorola phone with a stylus. No stylus phone is good without a large, quick screen, which is why this phone benefits so greatly from its 6.7-inch pOLED display and its super-smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Add in its long battery life, hyper-fast wired charging, wireless charging capability, and its surprisingly impressive cameras for a mid-range phone, and you're looking at a pretty great find for $150 off.
Performance on the Moto G Stylus is backed by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 and 8GB of RAM, but on a physical level, users go crazy for the vegan leather backing that comes with Motorola phones.
Like any phone, there are a few downsides to the Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G, one being the fact that it's limited to one OS update. Additionally, the in-display fingerprint sensor is cool, but it's a little uncomfortable to reach for in its current location. Regardless, most users won't find a lot of flaws in this device, and especially not when they get it at this price.
