Conclusion

The Motorola Moto G stylus 5G 2022 comes with a huge battery capacity, impressive refresh rate support, and many more exciting features. After reading this review you will understand that the Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) is a great smartphone that offers decent camera quality, long-lasting battery life, impressive display, and robust performance. But still, the phone underwhelms by missing an AMOLED panel, outdated camera setup, no fast charging, and a lot more compromises. The key attraction about this phone would be its dedicated stylus features from which you can draw several things on the screen or take notes in a pretty hassle-free manner.

Aside from this, the clean UI does give an astounding user experience in the long run. However, this phone has limited features compared to the competition. Apart from this, the price of the phone doesn’t feel justified in any way according to specs. If we have to recommend this phone to you, we only advise you to wait till the price goes down slightly. But, if you are not interested in the stylus phone, then we recommend checking out the Samsung Galaxy A33 to gain attractive and all-rounder specs. Still, it’s your hard earn money, so choose wisely where you want to invest your money.
