The Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G returns this year with some significant spec changes and an eye-catching new design. This year’s version gains wireless charging and an improved screen, while retaining classic features like a headphone jack and microSD card slot – all for $399.
The G Stylus 5G is still a big phone with a capital B: it has a 6.7-inch screen. It’s a 1080p panel with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, an update to last year’s 6.6-inch LCD display. The device is equipped with a capacious 5000 mAh battery, compatible with 30 W fast wired charging and 15 W wireless charging. Stylus 5G 2024 uses the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset – interestingly, it is the same as last year’s model. It’s not often we see phone makers return to the same chipset two years in a row, but at least this time it comes with more RAM – 8GB compared to 6GB.

The built-in stylus also has some improvements. Motorola’s press release states that it uses a “larger contact area” and some software updates to improve the user interface and reduce lag when using the stylus. The main rear camera is still a 50-megapixel sensor with optical image stabilization, but both the 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera and 32-megapixel selfie camera have been updated. The selfie camera uses pixel binning to provide better low-light sensitivity, which should provide better photos in low-light conditions.
The Stylus 5G also abandons last year’s unremarkable design, adopting Motorola’s obvious ethos this year of making phones fun again. The back panel has a soft-touch vegan leather finish. (I know, I know, that’s a fancy word for plastic.) The phone will be sold in two colors: Caramel Latte and Orange-Red Crimson Wave. They both look great, honestly.

It all looks good on paper, but I’ve recently become disappointed with the bloatware on Motorola’s budget and midrange phones; last year’s Moto G Stylus 5G was full of these things. Unfortunately, I’m not holding my breath for big changes this year. In any case, the Moto G 5G Stylus 2024 will go on sale on May 30 for $399 without unlocking.
