“The new Stylus models are perfectly fine Android phones, but they are far from my first choice if you're just after a cheap phone.”

“The G Stylus 5G is nice when you remove the bloatware, but I’ll probably tell most people looking for a budget phone (Mom included) to just get a discounted Google Pixel 6A and save the hassle.”
