Sort by:

If LG Mobile were still around today, they would've made a new 2024 Stylo as a direct rival to this phone.

    Tranquillow, 14 Jul 2024Or at the very least it might force Samsung's hand to ... moreMy only criteria for a newer Note FE is that it must include a 16:9 display and a physical home key.

        I always found it weird that the stylus phones were almost ultra budget, turning them into more of a low end midranger is a good choice I think. Shame it doesn't have a global release.

          Edit: Wait, there was a "Note FE". I meant in the modern sense of Fan Editions

            Hello Gsmarena,

            As you are reviewing this in Europe, please tell us whether this phone works ok on European networks? Does the 5G connect ok? Thinking of importing it as there is no real alternative here. Thanks.

                justasmile, 14 Jul 2024So basically, the pen has no pressure sensitivity nor tilt ... moreThen suggest the target audience to buy a Galaxy Note5 instead of this low end with a stylus. Simple as that.

                  YourLocalPhoneCritic, 14 Jul 2024Dear Motorola, please consider this: 1- Release it globa... moreI'm glad that you summed up most of my thoughts into a single comment! Well done!

                    YourLocalPhoneCritic, 14 Jul 2024Dear Motorola, please consider this: 1- Release it globa... moreMotorola: I'mma pretend I didn't read that...

                      Dear Motorola, please consider this:

                      1- Release it globally
                      2- Do a rebrand such as "Moto Sketch", "Moto Draft" or "Moto Memo" (Don't settle for "Stylus" & "Note" they're overused & are no longer distinct)
                      3- Change the aspect ratio to a wider 19.5:9
                      4- Rebrand the pen as "Moto Pen", "GPen" or "ThinkPen"
                      5- Overhaul Moto Notes & Add ThinkPhone/Lenovo features to it (to compete with Samsung Notes)
                      6- Partner with third party apps such as GoodNotes
                      7- eco-leather & classy colors (appeals to business users)
                      8- Promise at least 3 years of major OS upgrades
                      9- Keep it at ~$400-450 with the versatile microSD/3.5mm/QiCharging options (Don't get greedy, nobody will buy your accessories because you omitted the headphone jack. You have to first build your brand recognition for that to work)
                      10- Add Hi-Res Audio to the 3.5mm headphone jack & Aptx BT 5.3 (to appeal to audiophiles)
                      11- Offer a limited-time Lenovo ThinkPad themed special edition & bundle some Lenovo earbuds with it to incentivize consumers to check it out

                      It will definitely eat a chunk out the Galaxy S Ultra sales, believe me. 💯

                        What I would love ? Samsung Ultra in body of S24/24+.
                        Like Samsung Galaxy Note 10 - just add jack 3,5mm and slot SD card. S24 Ultra is too big in some cases.

                          Camera and video is medicore, no water ingress, stylus is...too basic. What I would love ? Samsung Ultra in body of S24/24+.
                          Like Samsung Galaxy Note 10 - just add jack 3,5mm and slot SD card. S24 Ultra is too big in some cases and many people would love full performance with full camera of Ultra in smaller body but with S pen.

                                  A lot of people buying this as an alternative to the Samsung. But had to leave a comment because just as a phone without the stylus this delivers on all levels. Without the stylus this is what the Moto g85 should have been

                                    This feels weird, is this going to be as good as the Samsung in the stylus game

                                      So basically, the pen has no pressure sensitivity nor tilt sensitivity. Boo!
