Based on this review alone: worth considering for premium feel with vegan leather design, but plastic frame is a real trade-off.
The reviewer concludes that the Motorola G Stylus 2025 is a recommended "spare phone" or a good option for children and Wi-Fi-only use in the 40,000-45,000 PKR range, especially if purchased in new-like condition as a non-PTA device. However, it is not recommended for users whose work relies on cellular connectivity due to non-PTA issues, and he advises against CPI-ID approved versions due to their illegality and potential problems.
This review covers the Motorola G Stylus 2025, detailing its build quality, display, audio features, hardware, software, stylus functionality, gaming performance, camera system, connectivity, battery life, and charging capabilities. The reviewer also discusses its pricing and availability in the Pakistani market, focusing on non-PTA versions.
The Motorola G Stylus 2025 is a reasonable option for users seeking a new-like, non-PTA device at a budget price, primarily for casual use. Its 6.7-inch 1.5K 120Hz display with 3000 nits peak brightness and in-display fingerprint sensor offers an excellent visual experience, complemented by a versatile physical stylus for productivity. However, the phone provides significant lag during gaming sessions, and its camera struggles with jitter and heating when zooming in during warm conditions. If you need a secondary phone for Wi-Fi use or basic tasks and value a premium display and stylus, this device is worth considering as a non-PTA option. If you require competitive gaming performance or reliable SIM functionality for daily work in Pakistan, you should look elsewhere.
