What a bargain! Definitely one to consider instead of my usual Pixel.

I doubt it competes that well vs the Pixel 6a unless you care a lot about the Stylus.
It comes with Android 12, and dead ends at 13. My Pixel 6 Pro is already on Android 13 Beta 1, and will get Android 15. Pixel 6a will blow this away for camera and video I’d bet as well. The SoC in this also can’t compete with Tensor, which is rumored to be used in the Pixel 6a which should be priced similarly to this.

Also, the Motor G stylus is not as good as the 2020 Motor G stylus which had the Snapdragon chip, and a 4k camera.

It’s very stupid, the Motorola I have e7+ was 110 euro and have slomo, nightcamera and 60 frames filming60 frames and the pictures look nice! It’s quite a suprise. But they didn’t include a case so I broke it…..while there cases aren’t fixable without getting ripped off for just a silicon without Advocados on it.But it has that same software problem, no own gallery but Google fotos , witch is nice if you upload it auto etc and use it functions but otherwise it sucks.
And then you can edit youre videos and slomo videos with the….?? And there it litterly says it cannot do it because it don’t have a app. It’s like very embarrassing for most of it to be a very nice buy
Good to see a stylus in this included! Very nice 👌 motorola is the only 1 still doing this except for samsu g there u er pricey phones
And let’s all pray to wileyfox for setting the standard and me for buying it and finding it funny it had a small phone box without adapter at the 5 watt Era. Let’s all hate the EU for making this a standard in non times like this

You’re the only coverage so far on this phone! Thank you! Does the screen use PWM? Pulse width modulation? (You can see by putting the screen brightness down and then using another phone camera in manual mode and changing the shutter speed to 1/4000 and it will show flickering on the screen if it uses it)

When I get the money, I’ll buy the Galaxy A53 5G phone. 4 years of OS updates and 5 years of security updates compared to Moto G Stylus 5G with 1 year of OS update and 3 years of security updates.
