Anonymous, 21 May 2021I feel like that's your bad lol... It's a $199 ph... moreUhm no. When you buy a phone that says it has certain n specifications, like the ability to make and hold phone calls, receive basic text messages, connect to 4g which has been around since 2015, and it cannot do any of these things correctly, that is not a budget phone. That is a company that made millions of bad phones, didn't realize they fucked it that badly, and still are trying to make money off of them instead of scrapping the whole idea. Your argument is "you get what you pay for" when reality is, you SHOULD get what is advertised, otherwise money back.otherwise it's illegal. Otherwise it's a scam.

For the price is a very good phone and I don't understand the bad reviews about it. Almost 2 years of ownership and it's still going strong; even the battery is still in a decent shape

The phone itself functions okay, for the most part. Occasionally the entire phone freezes and requires a forced restart when you open the camera. And considering it has multiple cameras I was expecting better quality, but I mean ok. You can't ask for it all. I was excited about this phone, as an artist, I chose it specifically for the stylus. I was immediately let down. It hardly works. It has no pressure sensitivity whatsoever, and half the time the phone doesn't even respond to the touch of the stylus. If you don't hold it directly upright, it won't respond at all. This makes it practically impossible to draw or even just write with. I would be better off just using my finger at this rate. I really loved the pen on the Samsung Galaxy Note 5, and this was 100% a downgrade. It had pressure sensitivity and quick response. This phone, however, does not. I am disappointed with it greatly.

I'm convinced most of these negative comments were paid for, lmao. The bulk of them sound like people that don't understand how to use a phone in the first place. I've had zero issues from day one going on 2 years now. You've gotta have realistic expectations when it comes to a budget device with 4GB of RAM. Disabling/Uninstalling all the unnecessary nonsense that runs in the background (especially Google) can work miracles. Not enough for you? Install a custom rom.
This phone does everything I ask of it with ease. I don't leave more than 2 or 3 apps running in the background. It's better than the 2021 as well as the 2022 Stylus models (other than maybe the camera, which is still excellent for the price). I'm not an Android gamer, but I do emulate from time to time, and it runs everything up through PSP/Dreamcast like a dream, even at 2-3x resolutions.
Conclusion: Does the phone run a little wonky out of the box without tweaks? Sure. Debloat, don't go crazy on the multitasking, and it'll treat you like a king/queen. You can get this thing for $125 USD now if you look hard enough. There's nothing to complain about.

The B Man, 06 Feb 2022This is the worst android phone I have ever owned - and I h... moreNot sure if your still using your Moto G Stylus, but I had all the same issues you outlined after the upgrade to Android 11.
Found two things that made all this issues go away:
1) Turn off "Adaptive Battery". Not sure why, but this setting just doesn't work with the Moto G Stylus
2) If you have an SD card, be mindful of apps that use the SD card in the background. Example: I use OneDrive to backupy camera roll, and I store all my pics on the SD card. When OneDrive starts to backups the photos, then phone CRAWLS.
Turns out it's an issue with the SD card driver. Got better with a recent system update, but I just avoid it by only backing up photos when I'm plugged in.
Hope that helps. With those issues resolved, I'm back to liking my phone :)

I TOTALLY hate this phone. My phone insurance company pulled an old downgrade swap a roo on me. My original Moto g stylus ran on 5g, It took a minute for me to notice that this phone is toilet flushing feces in all its functions, I had to literally run the phone on wifi and disable ALL not some ALL of the moto functions with the exceptions of the ones that have administrative copyrights over the phone. I attempted to take it an electronics expert to see if the thing could be totally dumped or hardware reconfigured and was laughed at because they thought I brought the tarsh in being funny...smh. When I contacted my carrier because they lied about the shell being under 5g and motorola and made them aware out of benefit of doubt it only has 2g/3LTE capabilities they swore it was a defect and replaced it now with a refurbished replica. Now the carry and Moto playing pass the blame and still no resolution yet. OVERALL moto is garbage I tried other models on the strength of remember their good rep when Nextel had the chirp phone they were the apple of phones. NOT NOW. Its sad when a government phone can leave even moto so called best model IN THE FLINSTONE age... You see it...A GOVERNMENT phone put me to shame.

It's great until it isn't. Brand new, I've had it for about a month tops. It's suffered no damage, no viruses, plenty of storage space left, nothing should be wrong...
Yet it consistently craps out on me. I can't go a single day at this point without having a technical issue, i regret spending money on this sorry excuse for a smartphone - and I've only ever had cheaper, smaller, dinkier phones. I am used to cheap phones that work slow, so this thing seemed to work like a dream for the first week. This review is not coming from someone who is used to having $800+ phones.
Now it brings me nothing but misery, whether it's my keyboard ceasing to function in the middle of typing until I restart the phone (upon which it restarts itself endlessly), the phone repeatedly and constantly restarting even in safe mode of it's own volition to the point where it sometimes becomes unusable for over an hour, calls randomly dropping or the person on the other end being unable to hear you out of the blue in the middle of a conversation, being unable to even open apps such as google chrome even if they're fully updated and supposedly have nothing wrong with them, etc.
If you are considering getting this device, DO NOT. It looks cool, sounds cool - but it's not. I'm literally at my wit's end. I can't even use it at this point. It's ridiculous.

This is the worst android phone I have ever owned - and I have owned phones since 2011. Every single one of my previous phones beats this phone hands-down in terms of responsiveness and operation. Long lags, stutters, pauses, total unresponsiveness for several seconds at a time. If you gift this phone to your worst enemy, you will be accused of crimes against humanity. Last moto phone I ever buy

This the worst phone ever first time ever I wanted to throw money in the garbage! This phone will destroy your business and relationships because of the cheap way it was constructed! The camera good one day bad the next, it won't even ring! Sometime it won't even let you know you had a call Motorola is forever dead! Company need to close and give it up they're wasting peoples money and time! Cheap Technology

3rd moto phone for me. Moto Quality has fallen a lot compared to past. Apart from call drops, frequent app failures, slowness, need to restart too often. And realizing that Android update not available are owning way less than a year. It is cheap, cost-wise; yet no longer makes sense in term of value. Probably will be the last Moto for me.

I have had nothing but issues with this phone. I have not been able to set up my voice mail even with the assistance of "experts". This phone is NOT user friendly. The updates are useless and only make the phone more difficult to use and confusing. This is the most regrettable purchase I have ever made.

Great phone at a great price!
I read many, but not all, of the negative reviews. Most of the complaints are carrier, lock phone, and crapware issues. I bought an unlocked phone with no ISP crapware and signed up for Mint Mobile. No problems whatsoever except for me catching up with Android 11 features.

Everytime I try to make a call it usually don't work. My messages come a day late there's a lot that don't even come through. I being hacked I pay the extra to see all outgoing calls it always says 123 as the number with military time. Someone has Firebase Api something on here I factory reset it over 200 times but it does not help or change anything and when I call for help no one can ever fix my problems horrible service The only thing that makes them suck is they don't even care.
