The Moto G Stylus 2025 gets so much right that I don't miss my flagship
It's been two months since I reviewed the Moto G Stylus 2025, and I'm still impressed. I picked the phone back up last week to see what stood out to me after recently using flagship phones like the Motorola Razr Ultra and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. No one would confuse those more expensive devices with the midrange power found on the Moto G Stylus 2025, but you'd be surprised. I expected compromises when moving back to the Moto G Stylus, and they were there. But I was unbothered by them. Highlighting value in midrange and budget phones is what I enjoy most about my job, and the Moto G Stylus 2025 is a prime example of how much you can get for your money. If you're unsure which smartphone you should buy next, here's why this midrange Moto should be near the top of your list for $400. Motorola made efforts to improve durability across its entire 2025 lineup, and the Moto G Stylus is no exception. I would never confuse it with a flagship phone made from premium materials, but it can withstand a few drops without breaking apart. This year's G Stylus is IP68 dust- and water-resistant and MIL-STD-810H compliant for drop testing. Your best bet for protecting your phone is still a case, but sometimes I want to enjoy the design of my device, and Motorola has made that safer this year. I'm using the Samsung Galaxy A36 for an upcoming review. It features a high-quality AMOLED panel, but the Moto G Stylus 2025 has a vibrancy and brightness it can't match. Motorola fitted the G Stylus with a fantastic 6.7-inch OLED screen with a 1220 x 2712 Super HD resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It looks incredible, and I can say it's the most impressive display I've seen on a device under $400. It becomes even more remarkable when I consider that the Moto G Stylus will be available for most of its lifecycle for around $300 new. Moto puts the best displays on budget and midrange devices, and the G Stylus 2025 proves this. I'm pleased with the performance I get from the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 in the Moto G Stylus. The phone's 8GB of RAM also keeps things running smoothly, and I'm glad Motorola recognizes the importance of more RAM in budget phones. The aforementioned Galaxy A36 only has 6GB of RAM, and even with the same powerplant, I can tell the difference in performance — the G Stylus is snappier. If you're a big gamer, you might consider spending a few extra dollars on the OnePlus 13R or an older flagship, but for productivity apps and daily tasks, the G Stylus is excellent. I love that I can easily stretch my Moto G Stylus 2025's battery life for two days if needed, often ending a second day of mixed use with 20% battery remaining. Software's still a mixed bag with the Moto G Stylus, but it has nothing to do with Hello UI or Android 15. I enjoy Moto's flavor of Android, and the company does an excellent job balancing added features and a stock experience. I wish the company didn't lean so heavily on AI, as I think it's wasted effort at this point, but overall, Moto does a solid job. Unfortunately, software support is weak, and although I've made peace with it, it remains a negative aspect of the phone. You might not care, and if you're trading your phone in after two or three years, taking advantage of the next juicy Motorola carrier deal, it's not something that would prevent you from making a purchase. I love that I can easily stretch my Moto G Stylus 2025's battery life for two days if needed, often ending a second day of mixed use with 20% battery remaining. Its 5,000mAh cell combined with a power-efficient Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 does the job, and I'm still getting similar performance two months later. The 68W wired charging helps me top off quickly, and the 15W wireless charging is an unexpected perk from a Motorola device in this price range. I'm impressed with the shots I get from the 50MP primary sensor on the G Stylus. Images are saturated and crisp in good lighting. Sure, the 13MP ultrawide photos fall off, but the 50MP main camera makes up for it, giving excellent, Instagram-ready photos that'll please your friends. It's not a Pixel, but I'm not expecting it to be, especially if I can grab one on a carrier deal or a sale later in the year. More people should consider using budget and midrange Motorola phones. The company does a fantastic job blending value and performance, and we need more competition here in the US. I promise that Samsung and Google aren't the only Android manufacturers making solid smartphones, and the Moto G Stylus 2025 is an excellent opportunity to break the cycle and try something new.

Bitcoin Soars, Altcoins Fade in $300 Billion Crypto Shakeout
(Bloomberg) -- On the face of it, 2025 looks like a banner year for crypto: Bitcoin hitting a record, an industry-boosting US president whose family is venturing headlong into the sector, and key legislation widely expected to be passed by Congress. Philadelphia Transit System Votes to Cut Service by 45%, Hike Fares Squeezed by Crowds, the Roads of Central Park Are Being Reimagined Sao Paulo Pushes Out Favela Residents, Drug Users to Revive Its City Center Sprawl Is Still Not the Answer Mapping the Architectural History of New York's Chinatown But look beyond the bullish headlines and the rally in Bitcoin, and a vastly different landscape comes into view. Most of the so-called altcoins once touted as competitors to the original cryptoasset are nursing steep declines, with more than $300 billion of market value wiped out so far this year. The sea of red points to a wider malaise that's forcing parts of the industry to confront existential questions. Crypto was imagined by early enthusiasts as a universe where a host of coins competed for investor money, offering a diverse set of use cases. But as Bitcoin reigns supreme, that's giving way to predictions that large swathes of the sector will become a digital wasteland. 'I think they're just going to die, frankly,' Nick Philpott, co-founder of trading platform Zodia Markets, said of altcoins. 'They'll just wither away. Technically, a lot of this stuff will just sit there and gather dust in perpetuity.' Bitcoin's share of the total market value of cryptoassets has climbed by nine percentage points this year to 64%, the highest since January 2021, according to CoinMarketCap. Back then, cryptocurrencies were a largely unregulated space, crypto lending was roaring with few safeguards and nonfungible tokens were just starting to take off. In sharp contrast, altcoins — the catch-all term for all digital assets outside of Bitcoin and stablecoins — are faltering. A MarketVector index tracking the bottom half of the largest 100 digital assets, which more than doubled in the aftermath of Donald Trump's Nov. 5 election victory, has since given up all those gains and is down around 50% in 2025. With Bitcoin soaking up the bulk of capital flows from investors in exchange-traded funds, other parts of the market are increasingly left behind. Even Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency, remains about 50% below its all-time high after a modest rebound fueled by inflows to spot ETFs investing in the token. 'Historically, Bitcoin's moved and then that's passed down into altcoins,' said Jake Ostrovskis, an OTC trader at Wintermute. 'We've not really seen that yet this cycle.' Crypto is no stranger to mass extinction events. The 2022 market crash, punctuated by the implosions of algorithmic stablecoin TerraUSD and Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX exchange, led to the demise of hundreds of projects. Thousands of coins still exist on their blockchains, with little or no activity — relegated to the status of 'ghost chains' in crypto parlance. What's different this time is that crypto is becoming a more regulated, institutionally-driven marketplace, and that stablecoins appear to be the only tokens with a real shot at achieving means-of-payment status, due to the fact that they eliminate volatility. In the past year alone, the market value of stablecoins has swelled by $47 billion, and some of the world's largest banks are entering the field. The Wall Street Journal reported this month that Inc. is studying a potential stablecoin. That's putting pressure on altcoin projects to find ways to shore up their status and appeal to a wider base of investors. 'I've talked to a couple of projects that have been thinking about merging foundations, putting it up for governance, saying, 'Hey, we can now be governed under this other authority' — that authority being another altcoin community,' said Kanyi Maqubela, managing partner at venture capital firm Kindred Ventures. The shifting tides are also reflected in corporate behavior. Modeled on Michael Saylor's Strategy, a new breed of Bitcoin accumulators has emerged. In April, a special-purpose acquisition company affiliated with Cantor Fitzgerald LP partnered with Tether Holdings SA and SoftBank to launch Twenty One Capital Inc., seeded with nearly $4 billion in Bitcoin. The Trump family, which is also getting involved in Bitcoin mining, has raised $2.3 billion via Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. to create a Bitcoin treasury. While similar vehicles have been set up recently to accumulate smaller tokens like Ether, Solana and BNB, they are much smaller. Glimmers of Hope Not all altcoins are floundering. Tokens like Maker and Hyperliquid that are linked to thriving decentralized-finance protocols have notched big gains this year. 'There's certainly a subset of the market doing incredibly well — generally companies with real businesses, real revenues, and those revenues are being used to buy back tokens,' said Jeff Dorman, chief investment officer of digital asset investment firm Arca. There's also the prospect of more favorable regulations. The potential for US Securities and Exchange Commission approval of ETFs backed by coins like Solana are stirring hopes of wider adoption. Another possible catalyst is the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act, informally referred to as crypto's market structure bill. The CLARITY Act aims to provide a comprehensive regulatory framework, including delineating responsibilities between the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the SEC. 'The Clarity Act has the potential to do for altcoins what ETFs did for Bitcoin and Ethereum: provide the regulatory legitimacy that unlocks real institutional capital,' said Ira Auerbach, a senior executive at Offchain Labs. Yet according to Maqubela, the issue ultimately boils down to utility. He compares Bitcoin to gold and Ether to copper — the former has a capped final supply and the latter's blockchain underpins much of crypto's functionality — and says most altcoins are stuck in a sort of twilight zone, underpinned by big promises and not much else. 'I think a lot of them are going to whittle down to zero because they were driven by speculation without that mimetic value like Bitcoin, and they tried to be utilitarian without achieving any real scale,' he said.
