The Q has the 2025 Moto G Stylus 5G on sale for $159.98, so I bit the bullet and ordered it. Total after shipping and tax is around $180, so $15 a month for a year. They say this is the 8 GB RAM version and 128 GB memory, which is an unusual configuration. It might be the more common 4 GB with the 128 GB, but I'll see when I get it. It seems to do everything I want/need a phone to do. I haven't been happy with my Samsung A15, so it'll be nice to get back to a Moto.

Yes. It came Tuesday. A great phone. I'm very happy with it. No issues at all.

It's a very nice phone. It does have 8 GB of RAM, which makes it pretty speedy. 128 GB of onboard memory is plenty for me. Wireless charging which is a nice extra. I just got an Anker 313 wireless charging stand at Amazon for $13.99 that pairs nicely with it in either vertical or horizontal placement. I took a chance on that stand as the Moto phones aren't listed as being compatible, but it is. No phone case yet. I like the Spigen cases, but they don't have one for this phone.  The Motorola case is pretty nice looking, but a bit pricey at $25-ish. Given the reported improved durability of the new phone, I'm not sure a case is necessary any longer. Supposedly, this phone meets the military specs for durability, so it should be relatively breakproof by me. (Remind me I said that if I do break it.) I'm very happy with it. I've had multiple Moto Stylus phones before this so I'm used to them. It'a great little (not so little) phone.

I just got my new 2025 Moto G Stylus 5G. It's my fifth or so Moto Stylus and it's the absolute BEST! I did run into a snag with setup, but the Tracfone C/S agent was wonderful to work with. I've been using it for several days and I'm sure I will love it for a couple of years.

The colors are visaully spectacular - such a nice upgrade from my 2023 phone. This one also has NFC, which is important to me. And I don't know how people operate without a stylus. It's such a much more precise way to get info fast on a phone.

I would like to see QVC do a presentation on it though. Does anyone know when that might be?

It's a great phone. The wireless charging is also nice. I just sit it on the charger by my chair when I'm not using it, and it charges itself. No plugging or unplugging cords. Very nice.

There are lots of videos on the Moto G Stylus 2025 that can help you understand it more, and there are also lots of videos on the features of Android 15.

Congrats on your new phone @gardenman!

I might be the wrong person to ask as my service is good through September 2027. I believe they still have the year rate that you might be able to add on at their site if you buy something else. That's been a $50-ish add-on offered when you add some other thing (texts, data, etc.)

@gardenman, thank you!
