The price is right! And it is LOADED with features.
The price dropped about $100 so I decided to get myself the first new phone I've had in 4 years. The screen is noticeably better quality; with better color, and brighter, and its 120Hz refresh provides smooth video. The screen tech is the same as the top-tier iPhone & Samsung models. I also like a stylus because it helps with editing which I cannot do with a fingertip.
There are several configurations of this device depending on where it is purchased. This particular one is "Unlocked" in its TOP trim. The rest of its specs are impressive considering its current price point. Using several sources, here is a compilation of the following specifications:

Hopefully, you will find this information helpful. Other than some minor software issues to work through, I am extremely pleased. I can highly recommend this phone and the vendor Amazon. (FYI - Arrived in LESS than 24 hours)
Excellent value, performance, and features for the money.
I decided to get a new Android phone to replace my aging Note 9 which was going to need a bettery replaced after serving me well for almost 5 years. I am someone who despises the sound of Bluetooth for music so I knew I wanted to find something modern with a stylus and a headphone jack, since I also despise carrying an extra adapter around and want to be able to enjoy my music while the phone is charging without being forced to use Bluetooth. I didn't necessarily need or want a flagship when I went shopping for this phone, just wanted something mid range which supported the latest 5g, Wifi, and Bluetooth standards, and for a mid range phone, the Moto G Stylus 2023 doesn't disappoint.
First a couple of potential negatives for some people: I knew I liked the stylus, but never used the remote function so the Moto G only having a basic stylus without the remote camera function of the Galaxies wasn't an issue with me, but, may be for some users who like the more advanced styluses such as the ones that the Galaxy Notes have. The only other negative I have noticed is that while the 50MP camera is great in bright light, it isn't quite as good as some others in low light, but it's far from the worst I have encountered in a modern phone.
That being said, now that I have the potential negatives out of the way, I absolutely love everything else about this phone.
It's comfortable to hold.
The display is clear and crisp and I have no issues using it in any light level from bright daylight to a very dark room. The display is also great for watching movies and videos, and I had no issues doing some light gaming on it either.
The battery lasts roughly 2 days with my relatively heavy use.
Both cell and Wifi reception are excellent. I work in some very isolated rural areas in the Rocky Mountains and this phone works in places where my co worker's brand new iPhone doesn't on the same carrier (Verizon in this case). No dropped calls or lack of 4g/5g service in many spots where his iPhone is useless.
The 256 G of on board memory plus the ability to add 2TB more on a Micro SD card is another plus for this phone, my purchase price for it and a 1 TB micro SD card was a fraction of most flagship phones cost, some of which, including every iPhone ever made, don't even offer the option to add storage.
Besides for support for additional memory, if you still like listening to music through a standard headphone jack, this phone doesn't disappoint. The sound is very good though the jack, and the onboard DAC and headphone amp seem to have a great frequency response and an extremely low noise floor and no evidence of RF noise or other annoying interference. Another unadvertised, yet pleasant surprise, which some people may be interested in, was finding that this phone has an FM radio tuner on board, a rarity for a US market phone these days. I tried it out and it performed surprisingly well, great sensitivity for pulling in distant stations and great selectivity which allows for pleasant listening when 2 stations are right next to each other on the dial. It even supports RDS which displays artist name and song titles, among other things, for stations which transmit that data.
Overall, a very impressive product for the price, great job Motorola!
Highly recommend this phone!
Great phone... Not waterproof
Buy this yesterday already. There is a small amount of easily removable bloatware on this, but otherwise, it's a very affordable phone that comes with a stylus.
Connectivity is very good, in the typical Lenovo/Motorola fashion. This is a great phone if gaming is not your thing and if you don't need quirks like foldable displays or cameras with "Samsung 100x space zoom." It's simple, reliable, and has a GREAT price.
The screen is very responsive, videos work flawlessly, and the photos from the 3 cameras (1 front, 2 rear) are excellent.
The mounting of the stylus (just like the 2021 and 2022 versions) leaves something to be desired, as it WILL fall out at some point. To prevent the loss of said stylus, get a GOOD case like an OtterBox or a DBrand for this phone, and order and keep spare stylus pens on you if you use them a lot (for signing documents and editing photos). I really wish that would be re-located to the top of the phone instead of being stuffed into the bottom, but for most users who don't use the stylus, that's a moot point.
I've had several Motorola phones since 2019 (when the LG Stylo was discontinued), and they've all been good. This is yet another one I can recommend.
My biggest concern is that this phone is NOT waterproof or even water resistant. My first one got fried by humidity and lake water, so I ordered a second one to replace it. Don't believe the marketing about "water repellent nano coating", get a GOOD case to protect this phone if you're going out on the lake or into a thunderstorm. I am NOT dinging it a star for this.
A must buy if you're looking for a great phone
I've been using Motorola phones for a couple of few years and this one tops them all! Only had to replace my previous phone because I left it at a gas station and some one stole it!
The processor is fast and smooth. Fingerprint sensor works well. Had no issues setting it up on my own with my Verizon plan. Photos looks great. Battery charges quickly and stays charged for a long time. Sound is clear. My only negative is the stylus. It doesn't write as well as the Samsung phone that I have from work, but that's not enough for me to lower my rating because I don't use it much. The storage is more than I could ever use, especially with deleting all the preloaded bloat apps. It's amazing! No more trying to make space because I had low storage!
So if you're looking for a great phone, and especially if you have never used a Motorola phone, I highly recommend this one! Motorola seems to have features that I actually use that Samsung didn't, my favorite being turning on and off the flashlight with a flip of the wrist! So convenient in my line of work. Not sure why there was so many bad reviews unless they got a bad phone, and I am just an average person who doesn't critique every minute detail in an in depth, technical detail, just a person who is grateful to have a phone to talk, text, play games and search the Internet and this phone makes it pretty easy and fast!
I bought the bundle, case and glass protector and they are awesome as well! Already dropped several times and no damage!
A must buy!
Excellent product
This phone is an excellent value considering the features included at its low price. I was attracted by the long battery life, 5G capability, high resolution screen, and stylus. My wife and I have had 4 or 5 different Motorola phones over the past 15 years and been very satisfied with them. Long battery life is a hallmark of Motorola phones. My primary use is for phone calls, text messages, and internet access. The battery easily gets me through a full day without the need to recharge. On those days where I overuse the phone it's easy to boost the charge with a brief plugin. I like having an earphone jack, Dolby stereo, and 2 speakers since I frequently use the phone to play music. Phone conversation has been clear and crisp. The migration from my Motorola G Power 2020 to this phone is the smoothest and fastest that I've ever experienced. I connected a cable with USB-C connectors on each end between the 2 phones and had everthing transferred well within an hour. Thus far I haven't detected any missing apps, contacts, or anything else. I had to adjust many settings on the new phone, but that was relatively simple. I have not yet tested 5G to see how much it's an improvement over 4G, but I have observed that I'm connected in 5G mode. Nor have I tested the camera very much. As a photography hobbyist, I frequently carry interchangeable lens cameras with me and seldom use my phone's camera. I've taken a few selfies and some scenery shots merely to verify that the camera is working... One of the improvements that matters to me greatly is that this phones don't skip when I play music through my Bose QC45 noise cancelling headphones. My previous Moto G Power 2020 had interruptions when paired with the Bose QC45's. I spent many hours troubleshooting that. I did not experience that skipping with any other source connected to the Bose QC 45's. Nor did I experience the skipping when I connected the Moto G Power 2020 phone to any other bluetooth receiver. I never determined why my old phone didn't work well with the Bose headphones, but I'm glad that the Moto G Stylus 2023 5G works well with the Bose QC45 headphones. I heartily recommend this phone.
I like it
Really hard to review a phone, as features and performance across brands are nuanced. Let me just say I am happy with this phone. I think it offers good value. I've barely used the stylus, but again I didn't buy it for that, so it is just a little bonus. What is wonderful is the 256Gb RAM. Gosh, downloading apps freely without worrying about running out of room! Priceless. I think it performs well, has a camera that fulfills my needs and good sound.
