70% Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) review: Affordable Galaxy S22 Ultra alternative
Source: Android Authority
The phone is a definite upgrade over the vanilla G Stylus (2022) and its predecessor, the G Stylus 5G (2021). The phone’s modern processor and larger RAM configuration give it a significant performance boost, and the addition of NFC is long overdue. Battery life is about the same, however, and the newer phone’s faster display isn’t significantly improved when it comes to contrast or brightness. The cameras aren’t much more to write home about either. Despite the improvements, the similarities between these phones leave the $499 price point of the Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) feeling a little high. You can save yourself quite a bit by going with the 2022 LTE-only G Stylus ($299), or get many of the same features from the 2021 G Stylus 5G ($399) for $200 less. These deliver on basics such as battery life and software experience. You could also get the cheaper version of the Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) from a carrier of choice, although those models have less RAM and storage. Then there are the real competitors. The Google Pixel 6a ($449) is a solid offering that has a better camera and better software commitment.

80% Motorola G Stylus 5G (2022) Review: A Great Mid-Ranger You Can Draw On
Source: Android Headlines
2022 brought a lot of competition in this price range. We have the Pixel 6a and the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G for instance. These phones are amazing performers, but they’re both more expensive than the Moto. This phone is a great performer in several departments. The screen is nice, the speakers are full, the performance is really good, and so is the camera. Also, we can’t forget the added utility of the built-in stylus.

Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) Review: More than just a stylus
Source: XDA Developers
If you’re looking for a decently powered phone with a good camera and a stylus, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra isn’t the only game in town anymore. It’s a much better game, but it’s not the only game. Stylus users tend to be pretty stuck to the stylus and the functionality it brings. This phone doesn’t do that. The stylus on this phone is great for accurate tapping, which is important, but if you’re in it for the extra stuff, you won’t find that here. It’s important to have the right expectations. But not only is this phone good for stylus users, but it’s also good for everyone else. Moreover, it has a good price attached to it. This is a solid recommendation for anyone who wants a good phone that won’t break the budget. The stylus is just a fun bonus in that case. Motorola is dominating in the budget space, and this phone can be a big part of why.

Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News
After reading this review you will understand that the Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) is a great smartphone that offers decent camera quality, long-lasting battery life, impressive display, and robust performance. But the key attraction about this phone would be its dedicated stylus features from which you can draw several things on the screen or take notes in a pretty hassle-free manner. Aside from this, the clean UI does give an astounding user experience in the long run. However, this phone has limited features compared to the competition. If we have to recommend this phone to you, we only advise you to wait till the price goes down slightly. But, if you are not interested in the stylus phone, then we recommend checking out the Samsung Galaxy A33 to gain attractive and all-rounder specs. Still, it’s your hard earn money, so choose wisely where you want to invest your money.

79% Moto G 5G Stylus (2022) review: Good phone with a 'competition' problem
Source: Phone Arena
Overall, the Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) addresses most of our complaints with the previous model. It's got a faster new chipset, streamlined cameras, an NFC chip, and a 120Hz display. My personal experience with the phone has been great as well: there were no issues and it happily fulfilled all my needs without much overthinking. Surely, the camera experience hasn't been excellent, and I'd have loved to see an OLED display, but it is what it is. There are downsides, however: the stylus hasn't become more useful than before, and the price has grown by $50, placing it dangerously close to competitors that might certainly give it a run for the money. Provided that you don't necessarily need a stylus, you might generally be happier with a Samsung or a Google phone, of which there are at least a few in the same price range.

75% Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) review: Still a budget phone at heart
Source: Android Police
If you’re looking for a mid-tier smartphone with a stylus, sure. For the price, the Moto G Stylus 5G has very few, if any, deal breakers, with the poor sound quality and bulky bezels representing slight annoyances at worst and barely noticeable quirks at best. The easy-to-use fingerprint sensor, the solid enough camera, intuitive features, and sturdy design make the Moto G Stylus 5G a solid option, and the advanced perks like the 120Hz refresh rate and the excellent stylus features make you forget it’s even a mid-tier phone at all. All in all, Motorola has surprised us here with the Moto G Stylus 5G, bringing us a phone that covers the fundamentals and adds a bit of flare to make for a pretty good smartphone.

70% Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) Review
Source: PC Mag
The Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G ($499) meets expectations in just about every category, as long as those expectations are tempered by its midrange stature. It packs solid internal hardware, a long-lasting battery, fast 5G connectivity, and a built-in stylus. If you can make peace with its lackluster software upgrade policy and unremarkable cameras, it's worth a look, particularly because of its status as an affordable alternative to the S Pen-toting Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. If you aren't sold on the stylus, the Google Pixel 5a, the upcoming Pixel 6a, and the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G are strong alternatives. And if you aren't committed to Android, the iPhone SE ($429) remains an excellent value.

Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) Reviews: Is It 100% Legit? Let’s Find Out…
Source: Know Your Mobile
Me? I’d be inclined to pay the extra, get 5G support, better overall performance, more storage, and better connectivity. Again, this IS NOT a Galaxy S22 killer, but for a mid-range phone, it is very easy to like the Moto G Stylus 5G 2022. The design is nice enough, it comes with a very impressive stylus, and it has reams of storage, as well as SD support and a headphone jack. Given the choice, though, I still think Samsung’s Galaxy A53 or A72 are better overall options (and they’re more or less the same price). At the end of the day, if you want a stylus with your phone, and you don’t want to spend a lot of money, the Moto G Stylus 5G 2022 is one of the only halfway decent options on the market. If you go the Samsung route to get a stylus, you’ll pay considerably more money. But again, for that extra dollar, you will be getting a significantly better phone too.

70% Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) review: Finally, a Motorola phone I can recommend
Source: Android Central
I've been pretty hard on Motorola over the past year, but it seems like the company is finally starting to get its act together. The Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) is a surprisingly good mid-range phone that offers excellent performance and even better battery life. Frankly, I'm still surprised at just how much I enjoy using this phone. Motorola still has a few lessons to learn, particularly when it comes to the longevity of its smartphones. It's disappointing that the company insists on promising just one major OS upgrade with its sub-flagship phones, given how popular they've become in even the U.S. market. However, this phone shows that the company's stance on updates is slowly changing for the better, and at least you can rest easy for the next few years knowing that the Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) will be secure. Overall, I'm impressed enough with this phone that I would easily recommend it to friends or family. For me, that's saying quite a lot.

Source: Zdnet.com
The Moto G Stylus 5G is a fantastic phone if you're looking for a device with stylus support, that also has a decent, not great, camera setup and exceptional battery life. But if you don't need a digital pen built into your phone, then you're better off either waiting for Google's Pixel 6a or any one of these budget-friendly phones.

60% Motorola Moto G Stylus (2022) review: A super-sized sidestep
Source: Android Authority
The Moto G Stylus (2022) is at a weird crossroads in its life. The Moto G Stylus 5G is a much better phone that’s still within touching distance price-wise, and there are only moderate improvements over the previous 4G LTE model. The larger battery is nice, but it’s held back by weak 10W charging. Motorola boosted the base RAM, but the processor, while solid enough, is technically a step down from its direct predecessor. The 90Hz refresh rate is a nice addition to an already decent display, but this is another budget phone from Motorola with no NFC and a poor software guarantee. What we’re left with at the end of all this is a weird sidestep where the welcome upgrades are canceled out by questionable downgrades and legacy issues. If you’re searching for an affordable stylus phone, the Moto G Stylus (2022) is the cheapest you’ll find, but that doesn’t mean it’s right for you. There are plenty of other budget-friendly devices that offer a better experience, if you can drop the pen. The Samsung Galaxy A13 5G ($249) isn’t without its flaws,

Moto G Stylus 5G Review: Great Specs For $500 But Limited Software Updates
Source: CNet
Motorola's Moto G Stylus 5G has everything you want from a sub-$500 phone at first glance. At $500 (which roughly converts to £320 and AU$560) it has higher-end features normally found on more expensive phones, including a 6.8-inch screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 50-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization. You also get a built-in stylus, a feature that Samsung is now only providing for its luxe $1,200 Galaxy S22 Ultra. The phone has great battery life to boot. It all sounds great for the money, but there are some important details to keep in mind if you go with this phone. Motorola sells the Stylus 5G unlocked with a roomy 256GB of storage and 8GB of RAM. It also includes a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chip, which is generally more powerful than the MediaTek one included in the $300 4G-only Moto G Stylus from earlier this year. Its 5G support includes sub-6 and C-band frequencies. A Verizon version will also support millimeter-wave 5G.

60% Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) Review: Stylus And Substance
Source: The Verge
If you want a phone with a stylus that keeps up with demanding tasks and camera quality isn’t a priority, then the G Stylus 5G is a compelling option. Not everyone needs the power of the Galaxy S22 Ultra, and the Moto G Stylus 5G stands up as a much less expensive alternative with healthy performance. The LTE-only Moto G Stylus is an even lower cost option at $279, which is a good option if your budget is tight. But if you can spare the extra $200-plus, the 5G model is a worthwhile upgrade for its faster performance. It’s not a phone I’d recommend as an all-around pick in its price range, though. If you’re not a stylus devotee, then the Galaxy A53 5G is altogether a better package. Its 120Hz OLED screen is nicer, camera quality is better and more consistent, and it’s scheduled to get five years of security updates. You don’t get as much storage or RAM, but it’s also $50 cheaper. With LG out of the mobile phone market, we’re down to just two manufacturers making stylus phones. The S22 Ultra sits much, much higher and is worth its high price if you’re looking for a stylus and the best of the best.

The Moto G Stylus (2022) is at a weird crossroads in its life.

50% Moto G Stylus (2022) review: A letdown in almost every way
Source: Tom's Guide
I haven’t disliked a phone this much in a very long time. The Moto G Stylus (2022) is a huge disappointment and greatly overpriced. Even if the hardware was up to par, the shoddy update schedule for the phone would make it very difficult for me to recommend. As it stands, given the mediocre cameras and poor performance, I like very little about this device. The OnePlus Nord N200 5G, while far from perfect, is an infinitely better experience in most regards. (Though OnePlus’ Nord N update strategy isn’t that great, either.) If you’re on a very tight budget, then I recommend going with OnePlus. The stylus isn’t worth it. Of course, if you can save up an extra $150 — which is a stretch for some people, admittedly — I think the Pixel 5a is what you should set your sights on, unless you’d rather wait for the Pixel 6a which might be coming soon. However, $150 is a lot of money, which is why I recommend the $239 OnePlus Nord N200 5G. Save yourself the headache here, unless you absolutely must have a stylus. If that’s the case, don’t let me stop you.

70% Motorola Moto G Stylus 2022 review: Affordable Android written all over it
Source: Zdnet.com
The Moto G Stylus is a very interesting phone. It's the perfect affordable alternative for consumers who don't want to spend $1,200 on the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra but seek the benefits of a stylus. At $299, the Moto is priced just right and offers a balanced, value-driven experience. Deciding on the device is not as this-or-that as it seems, though. This year's model lacks 5G support -- which has become a popular value proposition for budget shoppers, has a downgraded speaker system, and Motorola's track record for software updates leaves something to be desired. If the future-proofing nature of 5G and stylus support are must-haves for you, I'd recommend last year's Moto G Stylus 5G (2021) or holding out for Motorola to release the successor to that model. If you can do without a stylus, there are still plenty of cheap 5G phones available to shop from.

The Motorola Moto G Stylus (2022) has an all-rounded package that is hard to come by for under $300 unless you consider Chinese smartphones, which have issues of their own. Overall, you get a phone that gets the job done at an affordable rate. You get a great display to watch movies and TV series, and you also get a decent camera to take some quick shots. The battery is also great, so you can do anything you want with the smartphone before need to charge again. So, if all these features are enough for you, you may check out the Motorola G Stylus (2022) smartphone at the nearest store or order online. The low side of this device is the no 5G support, no custom UI, average processing speed, no fast charging, and average camera performance. If these low-end specs bother you, you should definitely check out the Xiaomi Redmi 10 (2022) or Moto Edge X30 however, the final decision is up to you as per your requirements.

Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
