Motorola Moto G Stylus 2025 vs Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2023)

Both are stylus phones with big screens, 50MP cameras and microSD slots, but they are a generation apart. The Moto G Stylus 2025 is the better buy for most people: a brighter pOLED panel, a stronger Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chip, 8GB RAM, a 32MP front camera, IP68 rating and eSIM support. The 2023 model is the safer pick only if you want an unlocked carrier-free phone and prefer its lighter software load and proven reliability. Owners rate the older model slightly higher, but the 2025 model wins on hardware.

• Choose the Moto G Stylus 2025 if you want the newer chip, 8GB RAM, a sharper 32MP selfie camera, IP68 water resistance and eSIM in a phone that will stay current longer.
• Choose the Moto G Stylus 5G 2023 if you need an unlocked phone that works on any carrier and prefer a proven, widely reviewed device with a 120Hz display.
