        Basically what does the stylus do? Nothing the finger doesn't do, it's just ornamental! Just a gimmick!

          Finally, a 6 Gen 1 phone! Thank you for the bravery, Motorola.

            Love how this device has been specced by Motorola. Here's hoping for wider availability.

              kek, 30 May 2023That would make sense if their 10 V costed less at launch, ... moreWell yeah. But either way they save money. Not a good reason, but a reason.

                  I dont see anything good for the 6 gen 1. Not a lot better then 695 and not even close to sd778 level of performance.
                  6 gen 1 looks like rebrand of SD768

Don't know who exactly Sony is selling the 10 IV to. It's not very competitive in the midrange at its price. I personally can't even recommend it to 10 III users with a phone from 2 years ago that will no longer receive OS updates

Watch this thing go down to $275...for 6 Gen 1, stereo speakers, microSD card slot, headphone jack, giant battery, 120Hz refresh rate, and 3 years of security patches. That's a solid deal for a decent device.

                            Where did you get it for $300 at? I have been looking at the Moto g stylus 5g 2022 and Motorola and Amazon still have it listed at $499.99. I thought I would wait to see what the price is on the stylus 5g 2023. Thanks for your input.

It's a game of roulette with Android updates. That's why I'm okay with and sometimes even prefer less Android updates.

                                And 3 years of security updates is not bad for this price point.

                                  I sell phones for a living, and the number of Motorolas that have problems is abused.

                                  But if it suits you, good for you

                                      A worthy successor to my current phone. Trading the (acceptable but overutilized) 695 for the 6 Gen 1 is a significant upgrade. Screen seems about the same, so does the camera system. Importantly, the headphone jack and MicroSD slot remain. The sluggish 10W charging is finally upgraded to 20W, which is not fast but it's acceptable. 1 Android update and 3 security updates is par for Motorola, and the 1 Android update is actually a downside because Android 14 is just worse than 13 due to new restrictions. Price is $399 but wait 6 months and it'll be perpetually on sale for $299 or lower because it's Motorola.
