What we like about Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G 2022 (8GB + 256GB)

  • Excellent, long-lasting battery life, often lasting up to two days with regular use.
  • Large 6.8-inch FHD+ display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, providing a great viewing experience.
  • Ample internal storage (up to 256GB) which is further expandable via microSD card.
  • Responsive performance for everyday tasks and most apps thanks to the Snapdragon 695 5G processor and 8GB of RAM.
  • Inclusion of a built-in stylus for note-taking and navigation, a rare feature in its price range.
  • Presence of a 3.5mm headphone jack and NFC support for contactless payments.
  • Solid build quality and good scratch resistance, passing tumble tests with minimal damage.
  • Generally clean, near-stock Android experience with useful Motorola gestures and minimal bloatware.

What we don't like about Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G 2022 (8GB + 256GB)

  • Limited commitment to software updates (typically only one major OS update promised) compared to competitors like Google and Samsung.
  • Camera performance is considered decent but not on par with flagship phones, especially in low-light conditions where photos can be noisy or washed out.
  • Stylus lacks advanced features like pressure sensitivity or a secondary button, and some users find the tip less precise than expected.
  • Only a 10W charger is included in the box, resulting in slow charging speeds despite the phone supporting faster charging (up to 15W).
  • Display is an LCD panel, which offers less vibrant colors and poorer viewing angles compared to OLED screens found on some competing devices.
  • Only has a single, bottom-firing speaker, which leads to an unbalanced and underwhelming audio experience.
  • The device has a basic water-repellent design (rated IP52) but is not rated for full water submersion.
  • Phone can be considered physically large and somewhat heavy by some users.

Verdict

The Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) is a feature-rich mid-range smartphone defined by its integrated stylus for note-taking and navigation, a key productivity advantage. It boasts robust hardware specifications, including a vibrant 6.8-inch FHD+ 120Hz display, a capable Snapdragon 695 5G processor, a generous 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD. The device includes a versatile quad-camera system with a 50MP main sensor and is powered by a large 5,000mAh battery for extended use. The primary drawback mentioned in reviews is that the stylus lacks advanced Bluetooth functionality found in premium alternatives, and the camera performance can be inconsistent in low light conditions.
