Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G 2025 (8GB + 256GB)

  • Excellent display quality and high 120Hz refresh rate, which is very bright (up to 3000 nits peak brightness) and vibrant for its price point.
  • Responsive and useful built-in stylus, which includes helpful software features like Moto Notes and screenshot capture tools.
  • Solid performance for everyday tasks, multitasking, and moderate gaming thanks to the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor and 8GB of RAM.
  • Impressive durability with an IP68 water and dust resistance rating and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection.
  • Generous storage capacity (256GB standard in many models) with expandable storage via a microSD card slot.
  • Fast 68W wired charging support and the rare inclusion of 15W wireless charging in this price range.
  • Inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack, a feature many users appreciate and note is missing from competitors.
  • Clean, nearly stock Android experience with minimal bloatware and useful Motorola gestures.
  • High value for the money, offering a feature set that often rivals more expensive flagship phones.

What we don't like about Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G 2025 (8GB + 256GB)

  • Disappointing battery life compared to its predecessor (the 2024 model) and some competitors, often requiring a recharge before the end of a heavy use day.
  • Fast charger (68W brick) and a case are not included in the box, requiring a separate purchase to utilize the fast charging speed.
  • Camera performance is considered mediocre, with issues like oversaturated colors, poor low-light performance, and inconsistent exposure in shadows.
  • The ultra-wide camera and 2x zoom quality are soft and lack detail.
  • The in-display fingerprint sensor is accurate but notably slow.
  • Motorola offers a shorter software support window (two OS updates, three years of security patches) compared to competitors like Google and Samsung.
  • Some users reported individual unit issues such as non-functional microphones, random Wi-Fi disconnections, and app crashes.

Verdict

The Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G 2025 is a mid-range smartphone featuring a 6.7-inch Super HD pOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of up to 3,000 nits. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset, this configuration includes 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD up to 1TB. The device is highlighted by its integrated stylus with new AI-powered features like "Sketch to Image," an IP68 dust and water resistance rating, and MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability. Its camera system consists of a 50MP main sensor with OIS and a 13MP ultrawide lens with macro capabilities, supported by a 5,000mAh battery that allows for 68W wired and 15W wireless charging. Key advantages include the high-quality OLED screen, rare features like a 3.5mm headphone jack and expandable storage, and significantly improved charging speeds. However, notable drawbacks include a relatively short software support window (two OS updates), the lack of a charger in the box, and average low-light video performance.
