Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2024)

The Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) has a conventional, non-folding form factor measuring 162.6 mm tall, 74.8 mm wide, and 8.3 mm thick, with a total volume of roughly 100.95 cm³ and a weight of 190 g. It carries an IP52 rating, meaning it offers limited protection against dust contact and low-pressure water splashes — enough to qualify as water resistant under standard conditions. The device does not feature a rugged build, so it is not designed to withstand harsh physical environments beyond what that ingress protection level covers.

The Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) uses an OLED/AMOLED touchscreen measuring 6.7″ with a resolution of 1080 x 2400 px and a pixel density of 395 ppi. The panel runs at a 120Hz refresh rate backed by a 240Hz touch sampling rate, and reaches a typical brightness of 1200 nits. Always-On Display is supported, allowing basic information to remain visible when the screen is idle. The display does not include branded damage-resistant glass, and it does not support HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision. There is no secondary screen on this device.

The Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, a 4 nm chipset with an octa-core CPU configuration running four cores at 2.2 GHz and four at 1.8 GHz across 8 threads, supported by big.LITTLE and HMP scheduling. Graphics are handled by an integrated Adreno 710 GPU clocked at 800 MHz, with support for DirectX 12, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2, along with 128 shading units. The chip includes integrated LTE, TrustZone security, and a thermal design power of 7W. The device ships with 8GB of DDR5 RAM running at 2750 MHz across two memory channels, offering up to 22 GB/s of memory bandwidth, and the maximum supported memory amount reaches 12GB. Internal storage is 256GB via eMMC 5.1, expandable externally up to 2TB. Cache configuration consists of 256 KB L1, 2 MB L2, and 2 MB L3. Benchmark results include an AnTuTu score of 554,764, Geekbench 6 single-core and multi-core scores of 936 and 2,766 respectively, a PCMark Work 3.0 score of 12,977, and a 3DMark Steel Nomad result of 198. The chipset supports 64-bit processing throughout.

The rear camera system on the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) is a dual-lens setup combining a 50 MP sensor at f/2.2 and a 13 MP sensor at f/1.8, both using CMOS technology without a back-illuminated sensor. Optical image stabilization is built in, and autofocus options include phase-detection and touch autofocus for photos, as well as continuous autofocus during video recording, though laser autofocus is absent. Video capture tops out at 1080p at 30 fps, with slow-motion recording also supported; HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are not available. The main camera includes a single LED flash — not dual-tone or RGB — and there is no optical zoom. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, while manual shutter speed is not available. Additional shooting modes include HDR, burst, panorama, and timelapse, but 360-degree panorama and RAW capture are not supported. On the front, a 32 MP single-lens camera sits at f/2.4 in a standard position above the display — not under-screen — and lacks its own flash. 3D photo or video recording is not a feature of this system.

The Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) runs Android 14, an open-source platform that supports multiple user accounts, split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, widgets, sharing intents, and the ability to play games while they are still downloading. Privacy controls are a notable part of the software experience, covering location access, camera and microphone permissions, clipboard warnings, and app tracking blocking, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are not included. Customization options extend to theme customization, dynamic theming, dark mode, and an extra dim mode, while notification permissions and customizable notifications give users fine-grained control over alerts. The OS also supports on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, live text selection from images, full-page scrolling screenshots, a media picker, a battery health check tool, and device position tracking. A child lock is available for restricted use. Features not present include focus modes, Wi-Fi password sharing, app offloading, Quick Start, and the ability to function as a PC. Direct OS updates from the vendor are not provided on this device.

The Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) houses a 5000 mAh rechargeable, non-removable battery with a built-in level indicator. It supports fast wired charging at 30W as well as 15W wireless charging, though reverse wireless charging is not available. A charger is not included in the box.

The Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) includes a 3.5 mm headphone jack and stereo speakers, along with a dual-microphone setup. None of the advanced Bluetooth audio codecs — aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC — are supported, and the device does not have a built-in radio.

The Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) supports 5G cellular connectivity alongside Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), with peak download and upload speeds of 2900 Mbits/s and 900 Mbits/s respectively. The device accommodates one physical SIM and one eSIM, and connects to other devices via Bluetooth 5.1 and NFC. Wired connectivity is handled by a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0, while HDMI output is absent. Onboard sensors include a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, and fingerprint scanner, and the device supports GPS and Galileo for satellite positioning; there is no barometer, infrared sensor, heart rate monitor, iris scanner, or 3D facial recognition. A stylus is included in the box, and an external memory slot is available for storage expansion. Features not present include ANT+, DLNA certification, crash detection, emergency SOS via satellite, motion tracking, optical tracking, and a built-in projector.

The Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) includes a video light for use during video capture. The display is flat rather than curved, and the device uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
