What phone did you end up choosing?

I went with the Motorola G Stylus 5g. It's not perfect, but it does have an SD slot, a headphone jack, FM radio, an easily unlocked bootloader, and a built-in stylus I didn't expect to care about but which I have grown weirdly dependent on. I just wish it had a removable battery.

How are you liking it? That's at the top of my short list for my next phone? Any major flaws or issues?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I can't think of any particular complaints I have with mine.

Works well...

Okay, I take that back... I wish battery life was a little bit better ...

But, that said, I often spend entirely too much time goofing off on my phone lately and that's certainly not helping.

Thanks. I'm the only one I know who uses moto phones so it's nice to hear opinions from people who actually own them.

Zero issues for me so far, except the standard complaint about modern phones; it's too darn big.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I really like the size but I'm 6'2" and about 260 pounds so I'm a pretty big guy I guess.

Personally, I wouldn't want to go back to a smaller one again though.

It's what I have as well and I quite like it.

It's a very good phone overall in my opinion.
