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

The Moto G Stylus 5G (2025) is the better phone on paper: more RAM and storage, a sharper front camera, dual SIM, eSIM, expandable storage, faster charging and 5G. The 2024 model still has a strong case if you want a cheaper, simpler device with a headphone jack and a proven 50MP stabilized camera. Owners of both praise the stylus and long battery life; the 2025 model's Snapdragon 480 chipset is modest, so heavy gamers should look elsewhere.

• Choose the moto g stylus (2024) if you want a straightforward unlocked phone with a headphone jack, a stabilized main camera and a stylus, and you don't need 5G, dual SIM or expandable storage.
• Choose the Moto G Stylus 5G (2025) if you want more RAM and storage, a sharper selfie camera, dual SIM and eSIM, a microSD slot and 5G in one stylus phone.
