“Review of the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024)” The Moto G Stylus lineup has been exclusive to North America for several years but has gained a significant following overseas. Intrigued by its reputation, we imported the latest Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) model from the US. This device stands out as one of the few not labeled as a Note, yet it arguably lives up to the name better than most.
Resembling the recent Moto Edge 50 series—Fusion, Pro, or Ultra—the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) boasts a sleek design with a large screen. Its distinctive eco-leather back panel seamlessly wraps around the rear cameras without interruptions or borders. The primary difference from the Edge series is the Stylus’s water-repellent design, boasting a basic IP52 rating, although lacking complete waterproofing—described by Motorola with their own terminology.”
“The Moto G Stylus 5G boasts a 6.7-inch pOLED 1080p display with 1 billion colors and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Powered by the Snapdragon 6s Gen 1 processor paired with 8GB of RAM, it mirrors the specifications of the Latin American variant of the Moto Edge 50 Fusion.
For photography, the Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) features a dual rear camera setup including a 50MP primary camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and 2x lossless zoom, alongside a 13MP ultrawide camera with macro capabilities. On the front, there’s a 32MP selfie camera.
The phone excels in audio with loud stereo speakers and ensures long-lasting performance with a large 5,000mAh battery supporting fast wired and wireless charging. It operates on a streamlined Android 14 operating system.”
The 2024 Stylus model represents a significant upgrade from its 2023 predecessor. While it retains the same chipset, it introduces enhancements in design, display, cameras, and notably, expanded stylus functionalities. These improvements include reduced latency, an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) option, and enhancements to stylus-related applications.
