is not a problem. Android 16 is pretty fast and so far reliable. I bought the regatta colour. The phone came with a matching protective case for the back. UsbC to usbC charge cable. No charger though. It supports a 30w charger and charges quickly. The screen is bright, very bright and clear at 120Hz. The speakers are extremely good and loud for an entry level phone. Compared to my old Nokia G21 and its faults this Moto G57 is exactly what is expected from quality manufacturer. So far I'm impressed and happy.

have three from the same 4 pack that added fine. Purchased from the motorola Amazon store The motorola support is atrocious. Chat bot is useless does not transfer to live chat even though it says it is going to, during hours of operation. Then tried twice to call someone, your dodgy call center I guess in the Philippines has a disgusting call quality where the agent kept breaking up on both calls, making it impossible to communicate. Then tried Whatsapp another joke about as useful as you live chat, also could to connect to a live agent between the hours of 8am and 6pm, it was 9am when I tried. I guess this is why your products also don't work properly, when you can't get customer service right?
I finally got through to an agent how reset their system and called me back, could finally here them ok. The support for these tags especially in Australia is pretty much non existent so beware buyers. Finally they tell me to contact the company where I purchased the product through, I advise them again that I purchased them from motorola and in their Amazon store advised me to use this support from motorola. So motorola how does one get support for you fault products?

clear and amazing for a phone at this price. This is the best sounding phone that I have ever bought and I wanted it to play movies, music videos and high quality MP3s with excellent sound. The screen is great with 120 Hz refresh rate, a huge amount of brightness and a colourful, vibrant screen.
It automatically upgrades to Android 15 which is another excellent feature. The cameras are very good but obviously not as good as much more expensive phones. The chipset is quick for the price. I bought the phone for $150 which is an absolute bargain. For those who value high quality stereo sound there is nothing in the price range that compares to this phone.
Thought I would update my el cheapo 5 year old LG mobile with a more up to date one with more memory etc. I am disappointed with my new Motorola as… Read more
on my LG you could just tap on the appropriate sim icon on the main screen to switch between dual sims to make calls, send messages and access data etc. On the Motorola, unless I am mistaken, you have to go into settings and go through a couple more steps to switch between sims. I thought it would be more up to date than that. Also, it does not appear to have the option of hiding outgoing caller id, which my previous phone had. To me, the Motorola isn't as up to date as my 5 year old LG, so therefore I am disappointed.
Terrible connection – If you want to be able to hear the person on the other end of the call and not have your calls repeatedly drop out buy a different phone - I will be replacing mine.
After 4 years and that's it you cannot use it anymore more I paid $699. No more security patches.
Terrible experience with Motorola Razr 40 Ultra – Avoid! I bought the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra expecting a premium device, but instead it turned into… Read more
the worst phone experience I’ve ever had.
The screen developed a vertical line across the middle long before any physical damage occurred. This is a well-known defect among Razr 40 Ultra owners (just search online and you’ll find countless people with the same issue). Despite this being a clear manufacturing fault, Motorola refused to cover it under warranty. Instead, I was quoted over $500 for a screen replacement – a price so high that you could almost buy a new phone (certainly not another Motorola).
To make things worse, Motorola blamed a minor puncture mark at the top of the display for the screen failure, ignoring the fact that the line fault was there first and that’s what caused the display to deteriorate and bleed throughout. This is incredibly disappointing, especially from a company that markets itself as trustworthy and premium.
I sent my device in under warranty, but instead of taking responsibility, Motorola shifted the blame to “physical damage” and tried to charge me. If this is how they handle customers, I can confidently say this will be my last Motorola device.
⚠️ Buyers beware – The Razr 40 Ultra screen is fragile, prone to faults, and Motorola does not stand behind its product. If you’re considering this phone, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

great for a long time until a few weeks ago when it told me I am out of storage despite my installing a 256GB SD card. I dont take many photos but I do get sent them and on that day I had received about 50 via whatsapp from a party we hosted. So it didnt surprise me to get the message. I moved all the photos across to the SD Card and that helped for 5 minutes. The messages continued. I had to pay for extra Google storage as that was also full and I moved all sorts of other files onto that and then to my pc. Now I have about 1GB only of photos on the phone. Still getting the error message and so my AI bot assisted me in finding other types of hidden files, I even cleared the cache on all apps. ok for a little while until I couldnt open Outlook. Now its a problem for me! I check my emails throughout the day and now couldnt. So I deleted the phone suggestion for unused apps. I went further and deleted more. Again it was ok for a day maybe and now neither my emails or messages will open. Even more of a problem. I deleted more apps, couldnt delete many of the bloatware apps that come with the phone though. This morning again its now not ok so I deleted 5 of the 6 little games that I sometimes play. This is now essentially just a phone. I deleted whatsapp last week altogether. After struggling through for a week like this I did some serious research and ordered an Oppo 12GB Ram 512MB drive which is coming today. It takes an SD card as well. Comparable to Pixel but much cheaper. I believe the update from a few weeks ago and another last week is what the problem is - additionally 128GB is simply now too small especially when the software updates take up more space. Sorry Moto you've lost me - I've been loyal for 3 phones but I cant buy your phones when they are all have low storage capacity and like I said I dont even have that much on my phone.

use, fast charging and an amazing quality camera. The photos are crystal clear, even when zoomed in.
Easy to use in regards to settings, especially when you need to adjust the light settings throughout the day and night. I am yet to drop it so as for durability, I can only gauge it based on how tough it is when my toddler plays with it. In that regard 100/10, no scratches or damage thus far.
The fast charge is life saving for me, as I usually fall asleep before I remember to put it on charge for the night. So being able to put it on charge for 30 minutes in the morning and have it fully charged is amazing.
My husband and I also purchased one for my grandmother and she absolutely loves it. Can use it with ease and she loves the fact the screen is so big.
If you are looking for an all round fantastic phone that IS NOT an iPhone. I cannot recommend this phone highly enough.

will crack/shatter. This is my personal experience. Surprisingly Motorola provides a back plastic cover protection however has not or does not care about providing buyers with an option to buy, for an additional cost, a correctly fitting front screen protector, so that the known weakness by Motorola, that is the "Weak" Edge is protected. Third party front screen protectors do not fit the Motorola Edge 50 Pro properly or hide the Edge's feature. Motorola should do better by their customers - if they build a phone with a known weak Edge then provide the customer with the option to buy a screen protector that fits and that highlights the Edge's main feature. The following is the standard response I received from their customer service and I am sure they or their Executive Team will do sweet nothing about it ever. "We value your input regarding the importance of having a screen protector on your device. We will forward this information to our executive team, as Motorola is committed to enhancing its products and services" If Motorola cannot protect the "Edge" on their Edge model phones then the public should not buy these phones with an inherent weakness.

the G04 is not a phone until you force it through a three-step ritual. If the battery runs flat and you plug it in, it does not turn itself on — it just charges, and you are not contactable. If you press the power button, it appears to switch on — but you are still not contactable. Only when you unlock the screen and it finally declares “Phone is starting” does it actually begin receiving calls or messages. Full stop. Forget this even once, and you may go through the entire day unreachable. Don’t be surprised if you buy this phone — or probably any Motorola — and find out the hard way.
Screen & Brightness The display makes matters worse. Several times every single day, when you unlock the phone, the screen has dimmed itself to pitch black. To fix it, you must swipe down once, past critical controls like Airplane Mode, Mobile Data, and Bluetooth, where brightness is still hidden. You then have to swipe down a second time in near-total darkness, hoping not to touch those sensitive controls by accident. Even when you reach the brightness slider, it is so faint you can barely see it. The chance of avoiding mistakes is slim, and the result is often that you disable your own connectivity simply while trying to make the screen usable.
Connectivity This explains why Wi-Fi, mobile data, and Bluetooth are so often found switched off. Sometimes this happens inexplicably, as if the phone has done it by itself. Other times there is no doubt: it happens because you are forced to adjust brightness blindly in near-blackness, sliding past sensitive controls and inevitably pressing the wrong thing. Either way, the outcome is the same: calls missed, messages lost, and a phone that fails at its most basic function.
Overall Yes, the G04 offers adequate speed and tolerable sound for the price. But those things don’t matter when the device demands constant caution just to remain contactable. If you actually want to be reachable, do not buy the Motorola G04 — and do not be surprised if this same design philosophy extends to their other phones as well.
This is a review of the Motorola Edge 60 Stylus which for all intents and purposes is the same phone as the Motorola G Stylus 2025, but with a… Read more
Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 mobile processor (versus a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3) and is only available in India. The G Stylus is not available directly in Australia from retail stores, but it can be found on Amazon or through various other online retailers for (as of time of writing) around $690.
For the last 3 years, I’ve been (quite happily) using a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 which has followed my long series of Galaxy Notes (1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 20) as my regular phone enjoying the extra screen space that it offered me when it was opened/unfolded. This came in very handy for many of the applications (programs and web based apps) that I was able to use for work (and definitely better than the Note screen real-estate) but with my phone contract coming to an end and the reduction in same work applications being able to be used on my phone, it was time to consider my next option.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra was looking like a very viable option (I did kind of miss the stylus that came with the Note series) and considering that the majority of my Fold’s unfolded screen usage was now watching videos, it made sense because the Ultras full screen was almost the same as actual viewable (on youtube etc) screen of the Fold. Then I discovered that the S25 Ultra’s stylus was losing it’s Bluetooth support. No more hovering the stylus just above the screen or using it to take phots (selfies particularly). It was being rendered just a stylus with no “magic powers” that justified the high price etc. Sure, Samsung claimed that something like less than 5% of people used those Bluetooth features, but that’s what set the S24 Ultra (and all previous Ultra models) apart.
Then….. I discovered the Motorola G Stylus 2025. A phone that had a stylus……….. and a large screen……….. and I have to say, whilst leaving the “safety” of the Samsung ecosystem was a little nerve wracking, I couldn’t be happier with my choice.
For the money, this phone is amazing. Here’s a few specs……… Screen: 6.7 inches (1220 x 2712 pixels and 444 ppi density) @ 120Hz with HDR and 3000 nits peak brightness. Chipset: Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 (edge 60 Stylus) / Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 (G Stylus) O/S: Android 15 (with 2 upgrades) Memory: 256GB and 8GB ram AND micro SD expansion (up to 1 TB) Battery: 5000mAh with 68W wired and 15W wireless charging.
One of my biggest concerns about changing brands of phones, and no doubt a reason why people stay locked into a particular ecosystem is familiarity and reservations about migrating everything from apps to all user data like contacts and messages etc to a new device. Well that was my concern and it was unjust. I guess if you are in the Android ecosystem, it is stupendously easy to transfer from one device to another. I was fully transferred and completely set up in under an hour and that included a massive amount of media (which took most of the transfer time).
Out of the box set up was quick and easy and whilst I liked the Motorola Hello UI skin which is fairly close to stock Android, I installed the Nova Launcher (like my Fold) because I find that it allows you to customise your phone a bit more compared Hello UI or Samsung’s One UI. It also gave me that same sense of familiarity on OS and operations that I mentioned. The screen is beautiful. The 1220 x 2712 screen is a delight to view. Whilst not quite the same resolution as the inner screen of the Fold, the higher pixel density and much higher brightness make the viewing much better on every level. The brightness is very noticeable in broad daylight where I haven’t had to once ‘shield’ my screen from the sunlight. The adaptive brightness control works just as well as the Samsung version, but I prefer to use a set brightness continuously. The performance of this phone is also impressive. The Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor is supposed to be a slight step above the 6 Gen 3 processor of the G Stylus 2025 and I have found it to be very quick and responsive for my current six weeks of usage. I know it doesn’t have the same processing power of the Fold’s Snapdragon 8+, but this phone is a midrange phone so you couldn’t expect flagship specs. But saying that, for my usual usage of video streaming and playing around with a bit of AI, I haven’t had any issues at all. If I was requiring heavy processing power, I would be choosing a flagship phone, but for my (and what I imagine most other phone users) needs, this phone is doing a great job. The 8GB of ram seems to be more than enough too.
The speakers on the phone are more than adequate for audio and video. They aren’t amazing (but they are loud), but then so very phones are and my Fold was no different. Using Bluetooth headphones or a speaker makes a difference, but the one thing I truly like is the inclusion of a headphone jack which has allowed me use my favourite pair of (wired) headphones which really gives just the most wonderful auditory experience.
And now the stylus. The main reason I went for this phone and not the Ultra. Is it good? It’s not bad. Like my previous Notes, the stylus is a nice solid little stick (metal) and I like the ‘clicking’ that it can do, even though it serves no function. The lack of Bluetooth functionality makes it no worse than what the Ultra has to offer now. I love how you can just pop it out and scribble a note. I really really love the handwriting calculator that lets you work with options such as fractions and formulars. I have had more fun than I should admit to drawing pictures and getting the Motorola AI interpret them and give me an artistic enhancement of them. I haven’t really used it for things like screenshots or photo cropping (other than a token play at it). I find the stylus very smooth responsive on the screen with no lag when writing. One thing that is different to the Ultra screen and stylus experience is the lack of palm rejection. This means that whilst the stylus is out and being used, anything that touches the screen can potentially make a mark on the screen too. This is different to the Ultra (and Notes) stylus usage where only the stylus can write/draw on the screen. Is it an issue? Not really. I’ve barely had any times where this has been problematic.
The cameras on the phone are pretty good. Certainly for a midrange phone they are fine. Are they as good as my Fold? No. Are they as good as the Ultra? No. But that’s the difference to be expected of a $500 phone versus a $2000 or $2400 phone. Considering that most people use their phones camera for snapshots and social media, the cameras on the Stylus do a pretty good job. They struggle a bit in low light, but again, not an unexpected affair. The specs are decent enough and it uses a Sony LYTIA 700C sensor. The video story is the same. The phone does FHD @ 30/60/120 and 4K @ 30fps and whilst not cinematically breathtaking, the results are quite satisfactory. The colours on both photos and video can sometimes be a little over saturated, but usually they turn out pretty good. There is a lot of options for creating your own manual settings (but I’m too lazy for this).
And finally, the battery. The 5000mAh is quite the beast. I easily get 2 days of use between charges and have even gotten 3 days (but that puts me at about 15-20% which is a bit nerve wracking). I’m not a heavy user of my phone and really only use it for video streaming (on breaks at work or at home) and listening to music (or streaming the radio). I’m definitely getting better battery performance than my Fold, but that is to be expected based on the larger battery, smaller screen and a lower chipset. What I do love is the 68W wired charging. The Edge stylus come with a (69W) charger (you’ll need an euro/aust adaptor) whereas the G stylus does not come with a charger (but is capable of same recharging speeds). It will fully charge in about 40 min and 15 min of charging will give you almost 50%. It is also capable of 15W wireless charging but is not capable of reverse wireless charging (too be expected).
I had to but this phone from India via a package forwarding service as it isn’t (like the G Stylus) available directly in Australia. I paid just over $400 for the phone itself, but by time I paid for the phone, the package forwarding service, several phone cases a screen protector and postage, I paid $460. In comparison, the G Stylus 2025 is available via Amazon for $685. Same phone with a slightly better chipset and $225 cheaper!!!
So far (after 6 weeks) I’m really happy about everything with this phone. Are there better phones than this. Yes, but not at this price point. If you are looking for a phone with a stylus, you only have 2 choices; this phone or the Ultra series. You can spend $400 (or $685 for the G stylus) or $2300. To quote Android Police, “The Moto G Stylus covers 95% of what I want a stylus to do on a smart phone” and “If you love a stylus on your phone, the Moto G Stylus experience is close enough for much less” and I couldn’t agree more. I can’t imagine why I would go back to $2000+ flagship phones again.

So leave the phone but don't want to have it charging all night, so decide to put battery saver on. Now, I don't want to be interrupted with notifications beeping while I sleep, so I put it on "Bedtime mode". Guess what, alarm wont go off with "Bedtime mode" on because its a ret#rded piece of trash that cant separate an alarm function (which I clearly want to be disturbed for) vs other notifications which I don't want to be disturbed for. So didn't get woken up coz alarm didn't go off. Cool. Next night I don't activate bed time mode and risk being disturbed. Instead to save the battery I turn on "Battery Saver mode". Guess what folks. Alarm doesn't sound in battery saver either.
