Motorola's Moto G Stylus 5G (2023) sees notable feature improvements that go toe-to-toe with Samsung and Google's mid-rangers. This sale puts it at the top for me.
I’ve had a Galaxy Note 9 for a few years now and, at least in my use case, I rarely use the stylus. It’s very convenient to have when I need to take notes in a meeting or something that I need to send a copy off somewhere, but day to day, I really only remember the stylus is there when I drop the phone and it pops out lol.
Some people like to make art on their phone.
Others like to use it for note taking.
I came across a TikTok creator that had the S23 Ultra and he uses the stylus to edit/make photos and videos.
Art, annotation, memos, hand drawn animation, business’y stuff of that nature
It kinda depends on the stylus though: Some are actual digitizers(pressure sensitivity for use as a paintbrush, some even recognize tilt and rotation for calligraphy) while others are just a rubber nib on a stick(rubber finger…on a stick…no electronics just rubber).
It’s great to quickly draw a diagram or something similar to explain something to someone. I could use pen and paper but I prefer doing it on my phone since it’s already there. I don’t do it daily but I enjoy having this option. When I was taking a break from the Galaxy Note lineup I was sorely missing it.
Tablets make total sense to me because the use for a tablet is different. I would use a stylus on a tablet with a larger screen. I wouldn’t use a stylus on my phone.
I’ve had situations where having a stylus even on the smaller screen of a phone wouod have been handy. Sketching with your finger is very crude. It’s not something I would pay a premium for and I wouldn’t want it robbing a bunch of space to fit it inside, but it would be a nice addition that I might use on and off.
Sometimes I’m on the go and I need to highlight, underline and make comments on pdf files. A stylus makes these much easier. Other than that I’ve used it about once for taking a photo using the stylus when the camera was on a tripod.
I got the version with the stylus of this phone solely because the version without the stylus didn’t have an NFC chip. The stylus is kinda neat though.
I’m trying to wrap my brain around why anyone would want a stylus for their phone.
Niche case- I’m a maths teacher and it’s been good for replying to emails from students with problems.
I wish I could use a stylus on my phone. When I edit photos, my fingers are less precise to hit the right spots.

Life hack: remove stylus permanently to receive lighter smartphone ;)

Some find it easier to swipe with as well.

Have one with my tablet and it’s great for sketching.
Even the biggest phones, imo, just don’t have the real estate for decent note taking. Tablets, esp with low aspect ratio screens, are the sweet spot.

It’s nice for quick edits or sketches when you don’t have access to a tablet. I have one and I’ve gotten a lot of use out of it.
I want stylus for my phone so that I can sign directly on my documents. Right now, I have to print it, then sign, then scan it.
Another use of stylus is for note taking, and solving math equations (which is often very tough to write).

Well…yea…but then he wouldn’t need a stylus!
