Motorola should definitely still keep selling stylus smartphones, it's a market that companies for some reason are forgetting about to chase foldables

I love the stylus phones because I'm older and have problems like arthritis, etc with my fingers so the stylus is Very handy for me. With that said I'm super bummed that there aren't more phones with a built in stylus like there used to be. So basically this is the only affordable phone with a built in stylus now available.

I used to carry a pen everywhere and grab whatever paper was handy (napkins, backs of receipts) to draw short comics whenever inspiration struck. My Note 3 changed my life, and I kept it for almost six years. I finally upgraded to a Note 10+. I can't see myself without a stylus phone. If anything, more companies should be adding them.

I've had the 2021 version for 4 months now and I'm in love with this phone. A bit powerful, very good battery, built-in pen, and very affordable, I would say. It's a real deal if you're into Motorola phones and you like drawing and more.

I owned LG Stylo 2-6 and it's not perfect, but I do like this stylus phone from Motorola a lot.

I use the stylus for my shopping lists, draw myself diagrams when I do construction projects and circle important information and add notes/draw pictures when I send screenshots to people.

Lastly, EVERYONE always becomes extremely jealous of my stylus whenever I get together with friends/family to play Drawful, a ridiculously fun drawing game from Jackbox games where each person's drawings on their phones end up on the TV for everyone to judge/guess what that person was attempting to draw. While everyone else draws with their fingers, I'm creating masterpieces with my stylus.

I've always loved my stylus phones and it would make me very sad to find out that stylus phones have become extinct. For now, thank you Motorola for keeping the dream alive!

Your reviews are always of interest, not just copying what all the others say

The SD 480 chipset is pretty powerful. It's about 50% faster than a sd662 and uses a lot less power. Don't under estimate these new SD 4xx chips

[starzrik]

I dropped my iphone 12 Pro Max for this. I became bored with not being able to customize and feeling underwhelmed at each release. I love this phone and do not regret it. The phone itself is beautiful and I'm having a ball customizing. I do wish it had dual speakers and I am missing iMessage. Overall, I'm enjoying this Motorola! Got it free by switching to Metro. iPhone would need to do something pretty intense for me to switch back.

Personally, I use the stylus almost always. Its extremely convenient for quick notation, especially using the gesture function in text. All in all, Moto should bank on the stylus because it can still be a fashionable thing for many people on the go these days.

My husband and I get ours tomorrow and I'm so excited. I've actually heard amazing things about it. I can't wait to use this.

[jperryhal]

the Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 5G / 480+ 5G are new processors released in Jan 2021 with new architectures that are really an improvement over the previous 460 series. Despite the low numbering, the performance of the 480 is on par with 730 and exceeds both the 690 and 712.

I currently have the previous gen Moto G Stylus and I just wanted to share my thoughts real quick on the stylus. I mainly use it for photo editing or if I'm playing Drawful with friends.. often times I forget about it but when I get a chance to use it I'm always really happy I have it with me. I know that's not good enough for a lot of people but I value versatility very highly so between the stylus and the motion commands that Motorola has on their phone I think I'll stick with this brand for a while

[CBRDriver]

I bought this phone for 2 reasons:
2ghz
128gb
I rarely use the stylus, but it is nice to have sometimes.

[AdamAtchison]

I love this phone. Just picked one up yesterday, and I have no complaints. Used it to stream some movies this morning, and my audio was amazing.

[UrOpinionsSucc]

I have the 2020 version of the Moto G Stylus, still holds up in 2021, especially with the dual stereo speakers, and performance is still snappy.

[spacecadet]

6 or 7 months later and I still love this phone really good buy. Starting to use the stylus more than I use too. It's still fast, huge screen, speakers are loud, battery is really good.

[roadsidecamper]

For me the stylus would be more functional if it came out with a more useful type of software. Their notes program could auto detect a written alphabetical or numerical value and auto transformed it into a refined type of font and even point size number defaulted/adjustable. Mainly because my notes turn out sloppier due to lag and this would clean it up while saving time from pecking at the tiny keyboard. Another useful tool for the same program would be a translucent box appearing after every written word to arrange them to a snap-to grid pattern or free floating. And last simple shapes that could be dragged and dropped, manipulated with several nodes representing dimension diagrams, say if you were building something, or needed a visual diagram. This is what I mainly use the stylus for so yeah these tools would be useful.

I took my phone down to 13% (it took me two days to get it down there) - plugged it in and started the stopwatch. It took 2.5 hours to fully charge. Essentially just over 1 hr for each days use. Since everybody has to sleep I don't see a 2.5 hr charge time as a negative. Plug it in when you go to bed and it will be charged when you get up - and the battery lives up to it's billing. On time I used it pretty heavily throughout the day and then used it for 2.5 hour TEAMS meeting in the evening, it was just under 20% battery when I disconnected.

I like the color, reminds me of the S6 Edge's Green Emerald 🥰💚

[cloakingsasquatchareblurry]

I'm definitely going to be getting one. And when you use the night vision mode on a clear sky night, . Go to photo editor and raise the bright up a little. You will be surprised at what you can see in the dark
