Well, lets start out with the obvious, this is not a contender against ANY flagship phone. If your looking for all the bells and whistles of a flagship phone at this price, you need to have your head examined.
That said, if you looking for one of the best value phones from 2020 then this is clearly it.
I did a huge amount of research before purchasing this phone. In fact, my friend just purchased the Moto G Power 2021 two weeks before I got this one. And honestly I almost got that phone. But after an exhaustive search for a Zizo bolt case for that phone. I could not find one anywhere on Amazon. But on page 26 of my search, I did find this phone's case. And thus the research began.
As it turns out, with the exception of the extra 1,000ah battery and slightly larger display this phones specs far out weighed that phone. For starters, the display on the Moto G Stylus 2020 has a much better quality display.
It has a better pixel density. It has a cleaner look when looking at the display. I have had both of these phones
side by side and when looking at them directly, this phone's display looks cleaner and not as grainy. The Moto G Power 2021 has a bright sparkly output that is actually hard on the eyes. The Moto G Stylus to me comes as close to a Amoled display as I think a budget IPS display gets. The colors a good and robust and I never have to worry about display burn from a Amoled display again.
It has really good stereo speakers and you can absolutely tell the difference.
The camera's are freaking awesome for such a low level phone. I have played with all of them and even played
with the "Action Cam". It works very well. Night mode isn't the greatest but does make my low light photos really clean without any of the nasty white noise that I got from my last cheap phone.
If you need a panorama shot, it does still have the panorama software, it lets you take a sweeping shot of
the entire area you want and then the software sews it back together. It's actually pretty cool.
Another difference between the two phones is the night mode pics. The G Power 2021 takes almost twice
the amount of time to take the night mode pics as the Moto G Stylus.
One of the coolest features I have found on this phone is the Moto Audio. This feature should be on every smart phone. It allows you to fine tune system wide audio from what ever source your playing to.
Say for instance you plug in your headphones, yes it has a headphone jack. It pops up and asks you if you want to
fine tune the sound to your preference. EQ, sound stage, extra base to name a few. You can apply this to the stock
speakers, Bluetooth headset, Regular Headphones, Bluetooth speakers. Every device can have it's own sound preference. So if you have a set of cans that need some extra bass. Boom, done. Need some extra sound stage on that cheap Bluetooth stereo speaker. Boom done. Want a custom sound on anything you use. Boom, done.
One more thing that I found really cool that I honestly didn't even think I was going to use was the Stylus.
I know, I know. Why the heck would you buy a Stylus phone and not use it. Well, it was all the other features over
the G Power that really nailed it for me. But, I was working in a building the other day and needed to take some quick jots of measurements and thought, man I need a piece of paper and a pencil. Hey, wait a minute. Pulled out the stylus on my phone before even unlocking it and all of sudden, the app opens up and is ready for some notes.
I was able to jot down all my measurements and when I put the stylus back in the hole, the app auto saved my notes and went back to sleep. I was blown away at how simple and powerful this was.
Now lets face it, this is not a drawing pad like the Samsung Note. But it does pretty well at the basics.
To me, the Stylus was not the high point of the phone. But it does have it's place.
This is just to name a few things that stand out to me. I honestly don't have anything bad to say about this phone.
It hits all the buttons and does it well. It is pretty vanilla as an unlocked phone gets. Very little bloatware, and a simple sim swap and I was up and running. Verizon of course.
I cleaned out all the garbage I didn't want as far as apps are concerned and added my own.
I completely un-google all of my phones including the app store. I get my apps from other known places.
Battery life is freaking phenomenal. I unplugged my phone at around 7am and admittedly did not use it much
as I was at work. I picked it up to check for messages around 4pm and it was still at 100%
If I use it normally, it's usually around 70% by around 10pm. I've only had it down to 50% once.
Not sure what else to say. Call quality is great. Speaker phone is super clear and loud. The finger lock
is finicky if you work with your hands too much. I just use a pin or swipe. I still had my 15 watt charger from
my last Moto Z Play and it charges fairly quickly. Hope that helps.
I would take a picture of it, but hmmm it's my only decent camera now : p
You get the idea : )

Great phone for a budget friendly price!
I had a LG V10 then bought a LG Stylo 4, the V10 didn't last nearly as long as I thought it should for $600, about 2 years, the Stylo 4 started getting buggy at about 1 year old (I usually get 3 to 5 years out of a phone). I decided to give the Moto G Stylus a try because I won't buy a flagship priced phone if the battery isn't easily swapped out, I consider them disposable without a user replaceable battery. The phone feels solid and is much snappier in performance over my previous LG phone, I've had Motorola phones in the past and have been very pleased with not only the performance but reliability (Droid Bionic). I bought a Sandisk 1TB microSD card as I like to have my entire music library and audiobook collection on my phone for use when I'm on the go, the card is about half full and the phone still performs well. The cameras seem pretty good but sometimes it takes several shots to get a good picture especially in lower light conditions. The speakers sound good for phone speakers, I'd say equal to the LG V10 which cost twice the price of the G Stylus. The battery is excellent in my opinion, one of the reasons I upgraded my phone is the LG G Stylo battery life was getting shorter and shorter. I've only had the phone about 2 months and had the triple camera lens on the back break, I never dropped the phone and have NEVER broke anything on ANY phone I've ever owned, not even sure how it happened, looked at the back one day and the lens was shattered in the center and cracked over the other 2 lenses. I've had a rubber case and glass screen protector on the phone from the moment I unboxed it and nobody else ever uses or touches my phone so I have no idea how it happened. Luckily I found the parts online, ordered them and was able to replace it fairly easily, it does make me wonder about the durability of the other components though, I deducted one star for the lens breaking and having to pay to replace it. I'm pretty pleased with the phone for the price point, I got a couple discounts buying direct from Motorola (coupon code for 10% off and another $30 off for opening a new Paypal credit account and paying with it) bringing the price down to just under $170 including tax, the looks and performance seem adequate for my needs and if it lasts a few years I'll be happy with my purchase, even thrilled if I can get 4 or more years out of it. I would recommend this phone to anyone who wants near flagship performance at a more budget friendly price.

Great phone. Annoying T-Mobile apps that cannot be uninstalled.
