I tested the Moto G Stylus 2025, and this is one cheap phone you shouldn't sleep on


It's hard to find any dealbreakers with the Moto G Stylus 2025, which is hard to imagine for a $400 phone.

(Image credit: Derrek Lee / Android Central)Motorola did something I didn't expect with the Stylus display, pushing it beyond what many midrange (and most flagships) offer by giving it a Super HD resolution. Aside from a random gaming folder that you can easily disable and the Glance screen that's turned off by default, Motorola has done a great job minimizing unnecessary software on its midrange and budget phones.
