Just got this phone through T-Mobile. Had my Galaxy Note 3 for just over 5 years and it was awesome but it was definitely time for a change. I can honestly say I love this phone, it has been amazing so far and I definitely recommend it.
Thanks for the info, I just got a Stylo 5 from Boost ,It was free with an activation fee of $25 and I pay $45 a month unlimited use with insurance included.
I have had many Android base phones since I got my first one in 1990 and the Stylo 5 does just fine. I just use it for calling and a little texting and the phones features work for me. A good value so far. Good luck.
I agree. But I'm trying to decide whether to stay on the Galaxy A20 or go back to the Stylo 5.....I don't like the fact that you can't move apps and games to the micro SD card unless there's a way that I have no idea I haven't been able to find a way to move apps and games to the MicroSD card yet 😕😔
Got the Stylo 5 free with switch from Metro PCS. I'm now a Cricket customer and I'm really satisfied with the service and price. I love my Stylo 5 phone, but the pictures are great but the video could be better but all in all...great phone and great service....thanks for your video 😁👍
I brought my LG Stylo 5 phone from metro by T-Mobile two days and I absolutely love the phone. It's an awesome device. I got it for free for switching over. Just had to pay for the phone plan, taxes, and upgrade fee. I even got my phone case for free.
I do actually cause I have the lg Stylo 4 right now an the battery life is horrible and it's slow.... So I'm going to get the Stylo 5 cause they aren't going to update the LG Stylo 4
Thanks, Kevin for the video. I just purchased a Stylo 5 from Total Wireless. I already owned a LG Rebel and had it for 5 years and had no trouble. But now its time to upgrade and I am not into the really fancy and expensive phones so this one is perfect for me. I already have a contract with Total Wireless so they gave me a great deal for the Stylo 5. It won't be unlocked but that's ok with me.
@@miacarmella373 The 5 is a really good phone, I was surprised by how it did NOT glitch or anything for 3 GB of ram, really good phone all around for gaming or videos, anything.
I've mostly used LG phones going back 7 years. Having such bad luck to bear with phones, read: they make heads with concrete, this has proven an excellent option for me. Boost Mobile sells them on deferment for an extra $10 per month / 18 months.
I got mine on Black Friday at Wal-Mart through Straight Talk for 100$ off and I'm loving it so far my Stylo 3 finally started to shit out on me after 2+ years
Hey Kevin, great review. Yesterday I walked into my local Best Buy and asked for the cheapest best phone I could get, and this is what they pointed me to.... so it's what I got. So far I like it but I'm coming from a Galaxy Note model, so it's definitely a step down. However, as I get older I realize that I don't need all the bells and whistles I once thought I did. 😉 I'd love to see you do a video on "hidden tips and tricks" for this model, ie, alphabetizing apps that are put into application folders--seems once they're in, they're in there in the order in which they were added _only._ Thanks!
See I used to be the same, started with a shit flip phone in early 2000s, then flip phones start getting smaller and smaller, until phones start gaining touch capacitive screens, then they start getting bigger and bigger again, with more and more memory and cameras and glass and aluminum, and I always felt the need to get my upgrade every 2 years... But now I only tend to buy phones a year or 2 after they've been out, as to avoid early adopter problems, and to try and get them for as cheap as possible lol... Because as phones started getting more shiny stuff, I realized I don't need a phone for all that, I only use my phone for UA-cam, Facebook, and texting/calling, as well as an alarm usually... I have a PC for anything else, and I have a Switch for portable gaming, so I literally only need a phone for the most basic of tasks, why should I spend $1k on the newest galaxy every year? Lmao. I do wanna pick up an S10e though just because I'm fairly sure I could find one around $200-$300.
@@fourkarat6945 oh, I'm not too sure lovely. mess around with your sound settings a bit. I was having an issue with Google voice assistant not working and I took it to my service provider and they helped me no charge. maybe if you're still having issues with it take it to them?
I was eligible for an upgrade at Boost so I just purchased the Stylo 5 . Replaced my 4 Plus . I'd broken the stylus pen and the factory charger was destroyed in a house fire and the battery life wasn't as good . I can say the stylus pen is better quality than my 4 Plus , Speaker is louder and sound is clearer than the 4 Plus . Like the look of the phone better . Have to have it awhile to see. Think I'm done with Boost after the in store experience I had this morning .
People complain about the LG Stylo 5 being the same as the 4.and not being that great, I like it! I'm sure a bunch of people enjoy it also I mean Well, what about all the iPhones that are THE FRIGGIN SAME!
How about the speaker? I wouldn't expect audiophile quality, but good clarity at reasonably loud volume is what I'm looking for. I am looking to replace my ZTE Max XL, and the speaker on this thing is shockingly it blows away all other phones I've ever had. I listen to podcasts and stream movies on it all the time just using the external speaker.
Im watching this on the stylo 3. Never got the stylo 4 bc i dont like the idea of not being able to take the back of the phone off (battery probs ect. I had 2 replace the battery on my stylo 3.) Now my hands are tied bc i want the stylo 5 but i guess its the same as the 4 .
Straight Talk has 'em for $120 in a sleek navy blue/metal/black. It runs COD Mobile and some other graphically intensive titles. At least 30fps on most occasions
So far I've had the 5 about 3 months and it's great. No broken screen this time. My last one was a 4 cracked in the first month with a shock proof case. I will say I'm using a better case this time. Triple layer.. Including front protection. Lol.
Michael Lodge I left Verizon 4 years ago. They were charging me $56/month, for talk and text and no data.Boost gave me a free phone, not necessarily the newestd model,, but it was free plus $35/month talk, text, and 3gig of data. I've only using .75g, at most, streaming you tube, I've never regretted it. Bottom line, we all are looking for ways to maximize our outgoing dollars.
Theres this problem you take screenshots and some black rectangles appear or in youtube you need to full screen more the video and it cuts some part of the video
Thestylis is good for people who have a physical impairment too. I had parts of my finger pads removed by a deli slicer and so they don't have enough pressure to activate the screen.
I have an LG Stylo 5x (through boost), but everywhere I search, my results either come up for a regular LG Stylo 5 or 5+, but not "x". I've also noticed this phone has some features missing (i.e Face Recognition) which is kinda disappointing.
I originally got a Stylo because I have nerve damage in my hands and wrists. I was basically working full time with my smartphone at the time and my thumbs would lose feeling and I would get nerve pain. Also the stylus can be more efficient for some things, Swype is very easy with it.
@@kareemdavis1500 i actually asked about that phone, the rep told me they were out of stock, which sucks because where I live we have only one boost mobile store
there the same but only 5 will just have 20% faster load time and smoothness for game movie and whatever and 3gb of ram for less lag if you were to open up more then 2 apps.
Ok heres the deal. This phone is incredible. It may be a little slow, deceint camera and only 32 gigs but really only 15 gigs but this phone rocks. Their is no real reason to be dumb enough to buy a 700 to 1100 dollar phone. This phone is great and deserves better reviews than what it is getting. If this phone had 64 or 128 gigs then it would be the worlds greatest phone on the market and would smash Samsung Note 10 especially at its low price point
@@MrJay197409 you are 100% correct. Maybe the next stylo will have a better and faster processor. I would be willing to pay 500 for a better processor and 128 gigs of memory.
nope it matter to which phone can handle that megapixel. I have lg pheonix plus $129.99 and LG G7 $400 I shot both of them at the same megapixel LG G7 come out more clearer brighter detail and deep black.
I have the LG Stylo 4+ through Boost Mobile running Android 8.1. Am I completely happy with it? No. I think I should have just ordered the LG V-10 and stayed where I was. The 4+ can not turn off Call Waiting, limit the number of messages to keep as on EVERY other cellphone I've had. This includes LG, HTC, Samsung, Motorola, Windows. Who knows, I may just go back to using my K-20 Plus.
Mike Sant Been a long time lg user. I've seen where it can be changed in the settings..don't recall exactly off hand. My phones were already set that way. Check google if you haven't already fixed it. Have a great New Year.
Think its worth upgrading to from the E5 Plus? I myself don't think it is, considering the Stylo 5 is almost identical to the 4. My E5 plus has been an awesome phone for me over the last 6 months.
I just got my first phone right now which is the phone you're reviewing right now. I came here to see if the phone seems good. And it looks like it is! Thanks for the many help.
I bought LG Stylo 5 through Cricket. Love the phone but I want the RTT disabled. I can only call certain people and have the call go through. I'm sick and tired of it hanging up on people after 1 or 2 rings. I can't figure out how to turn RTT off and neither can the guys at Cricket. Any suggestions??]
I enjoyed your review on the LG Stylo 5. I received mine free at Cricket Store. I am havaing the worse time with one part. When I take a picture to share with a friend, I will take picture, go to text and write my text, then attached my picture and send. Once I do this, I have the hardest time getting back to the text screen. The phone keeps my Gallery photos on my text screen and stays there. I had restart my phone today just to get back to my text screen. Are you able to help me with this problem. Thanks.
I purcased the factory unlocked version from bestbuy. The issue i had is that it would not let me use hotspot thri cricket... I had to buy crickets version to get the hotspot...
Just upgraded from stylo 2. Been just 2 days with the stylo 5 and so far loving it . I am with metro so not to much bloatware I dont game bit do stream lots from you tube and Netflix . overall very pleased. Do like the clean phone function that was a nice suprise.
Do not buy any LG product, they are crap, and cheaply made. Furthermore, trying to get them to honor the warranty is almost impossible. I will never buy a product from LG ever again. Cheap product, horrible service.
@@CrabTunafish Wow, 2 year warranty, almost unheard of these days. My Stylo LG 4 had only a 1 year warranty. It choked after 8 months, sent in for work and LG broke it at the receiving place and tried to tell me I had to pay for the work. Fortunately I had insurance (which I got paid) and a picture timestamped before I sent it to them.. Screwed them hard catching them in a lie. LOL
I'm feeling better about my decision to go with this phone. I'm with Sprint and have a Galaxy S7 edge. The edge was an upgrade from the S5 I had. Really wanted the newest note but not the price. Anyway, thank you for your review.
Did I miss how much ram this device has? I have the Stylo 4 as a backup and it has 3gb of ram which makes it basically good for calls/texts, but anything else it is a little slow. If the 5 has at least 4-6gb of ram I will buy this asap.
The front camera video was O.K. but you could definitely tell the difference when you did a video from the rear camera. Love the close on the palm tree! Those damn things are indestructible. Here in Vegas I have seen many folks destroy their cars by running into these trees and the tree does not even get a scratch.
thanks for the video. do you know if the phone supports otg to hdmi ? can it connect to a tv with a hdmi. ? i mean through cable, not wireless. thanks.
For me, the stylo 4 was a really good budget phone. The only issue was the sd card compatibility. Being that nothing would download to my sd card but pictures and a little music. Aside from the limited storage it worked great.
@@poplick65 You pay $300 on that phone?

Can u plz review the emojis on the stylo 5? I just want to see if lg added new emojis to it or they just kept the same because in the stylo 4 they didn't have all the emojis for Oreo, for example the middle finger emoji, laughing out loud emoji, dove emoji, and others
I have a Stylo 2 from Boost I've owned since Feb 2017, Android is no longer supported for it but the stupid thing is a TANK of a phone. It's never glitched out on me with 30+ months of daily use, and I am not exactly gentle with my phones. Cheap E-Bay case has been her only protection and I've broken 3 of them so far lol. Even the original battery still last a full day, mind you it used to last over 2 days easy when she was new... Looking at reviews of the newest Stylo just encase anything happens to my grandma of a phone so thank you for the review.
I have a LG Stylo 2. It has 16gig internal memory. I put a 256 SD card in it which gives it more room. If I want to upgrade to the LG Stylo 5 and not have all the bloatware can I order it from LG and move my sim card and SD card from my Stylo 2 to the Stylo 5?
I recently was given an lg k40 which has identical internals but doesn't have a stylus and has a smaller screen and higher ppi I got the extra gig of ram and 32 gbs of storage
I got one from Cricket as an upgrade from the Stylo 3. I like that it has 32GB internal memory as opposed to the 16GB on the Stylo 3. I like the phone and thought it is well worth the money. I was surprised that it has a Type C USB connection instead of the micro USB. You will need adaptors or new charging cables if you charge your phone in multiple places. I don't know why LG went to Type C USB.
I have had all the stylo's up to the 4. Great mid grade phone for the price. I got all mine free or for 30 bucks. I am using my phone a ton more now besides making calls or sending texts. Just got tired of having a slow phone so I splurged and bought a One Plus 7 Pro after much research. What a fantastic phone. Definitely recommend the Stylo though if you don't want to spend much money on a phone. Especially if you like using a Stylus.
I have a Stylo 3+. The battery needs replacing and the finger print reader is not working as well as it used to. I have been looking around to see if maybe I should replace it. Given it's Black Friday and there are some great deals on LG 5s I have decided I should. Your review has encouraged me to do so. Thank you. I have ordered one and can't wait for it to arrive. 😉

I shot both of them at the same megapixel
LG G7 come out more clearer brighter detail and deep black.
Do deleted apps in the "app 🗑" take space?
How does the speaker work on Stylo 5 because on the Stylo 4 speakers not that good
same
What are you talking about the camera looks good. Those pictures look just as good as my note 10
Trust me the photos are not that good lol
I have the LG Stylo 4+ through Boost Mobile running Android 8.1. Am I completely happy with it? No. I think I should have just ordered the LG V-10 and stayed where I was. The 4+ can not turn off Call Waiting, limit the number of messages to keep as on EVERY other cellphone I've had. This includes LG, HTC, Samsung, Motorola, Windows. Who knows, I may just go back to using my K-20 Plus.
kinda nostalgic this was my phone during 2019/2020 🥲
just got this from cricket tapping the screen doesnt open the home page any help would be appreciated
Hey I supposed to get this phone I'm comparing it to the LG escape plus but I'm more on the stylo. I think I may be team stylo 🤔
Mike Sant Been a long time lg user. I've seen where it can be changed in the settings..don't recall exactly off hand. My phones were already set that way. Check google if you haven't already fixed it. Have a great New Year.
Think its worth upgrading to from the E5 Plus? I myself don't think it is, considering the Stylo 5 is almost identical to the 4. My E5 plus has been an awesome phone for me over the last 6 months.
Do the cases and glass screen protector fit from stylo 4 for stylo 5
They should be, they are basically the same phone
I just got my first phone right now which is the phone you're reviewing right now. I came here to see if the phone seems good. And it looks like it is! Thanks for the many help.
I bought LG Stylo 5 through Cricket. Love the phone but I want the RTT disabled. I can only call certain people and have the call go through. I'm sick and tired of it hanging up on people after 1 or 2 rings. I can't figure out how to turn RTT off and neither can the guys at Cricket. Any suggestions??]
I hate that they changed to a non-removable battery. When the screen freezes that's an easy fix!
Hold the power button for 20 seconds. It resets the phone
I'll stick with my Stylo 4 and see what the next version has to offer, nice video.
Got the stylo 3. Love the 1 i already have. Cant get myself to upgrade to the stylo 4 or 5 for that matter lol!
@@amlynn1005ify all good my friend
I enjoyed your review on the LG Stylo 5. I received mine free at Cricket Store. I am havaing the worse time with one part. When I take a picture to share with a friend, I will take picture, go to text and write my text, then attached my picture and send. Once I do this, I have the hardest time getting back to the text screen. The phone keeps my Gallery photos on my text screen and stays there. I had restart my phone today just to get back to my text screen. Are you able to help me with this problem. Thanks.
I purcased the factory unlocked version from bestbuy. The issue i had is that it would not let me use hotspot thri cricket...
I had to buy crickets version to get the hotspot...
I currently have a Samsung A20 through Metro but I plan to switch to Cricket and getting the Stylo 5, I've always been a fan of the Stylo.
I have a Stylo 3 plus. Thinking of upgrading to the Stylo 5 or Motorola G7 Power. Which 1 should I get
Just upgraded from stylo 2. Been just 2 days with the stylo 5 and so far loving it . I am with metro so not to much bloatware
I dont game bit do stream lots from you tube and Netflix . overall very pleased. Do like the clean phone function that was a nice suprise.
Pass, we are going to show LG we consumers are no joke
Just picked up the LG G8 ThinQ for $379.99.
@@ToddTinley bezels are ugly.
Do not buy any LG product, they are crap, and cheaply made. Furthermore, trying to get them to honor the warranty is almost impossible. I will never buy a product from LG ever again. Cheap product, horrible service.
@@diskgrind3410 I had the G3, it died after almost 2 years. It was still in warranty and they replaced it with the G4.
@@CrabTunafish Wow, 2 year warranty, almost unheard of these days. My Stylo LG 4 had only a 1 year warranty. It choked after 8 months, sent in for work and LG broke it at the receiving place and tried to tell me I had to pay for the work. Fortunately I had insurance (which I got paid) and a picture timestamped before I sent it to them.. Screwed them hard catching them in a lie. LOL
I'm feeling better about my decision to go with this phone. I'm with Sprint and have a Galaxy S7 edge. The edge was an upgrade from the S5 I had. Really wanted the newest note but not the price. Anyway, thank you for your review.
I think its a great upgrade from the 4 and i recommend getting it if u wanna upgrade from the 4 to the 5
My ring has stopped. What do I do to get the rings back?
How do u move apps to SD card on lg Stylo 5??
I know this is the phone from last year but could you review the lg style 4 plus or maybe compare it to the lg style 5?
Did I miss how much ram this device has? I have the Stylo 4 as a backup and it has 3gb of ram which makes it basically good for calls/texts, but anything else it is a little slow. If the 5 has at least 4-6gb of ram I will buy this asap.
Stylo 5 has 3 GB of RAM
The front camera video was O.K. but you could definitely tell the difference when you did a video from the rear camera. Love the close on the palm tree! Those damn things are indestructible. Here in Vegas I have seen many folks destroy their cars by running into these trees and the tree does not even get a scratch.
thanks for the video. do you know if the phone supports otg to hdmi ? can it connect to a tv with a hdmi. ? i mean through cable, not wireless. thanks.
For me, the stylo 4 was a really good budget phone. The only issue was the sd card compatibility. Being that nothing would download to my sd card but pictures and a little music. Aside from the limited storage it worked great.
nope im able to do that on my stylo 4+
@@mollies13 oh I didnt have the +, so I can't speak to that. Good to hear it worked for you.
@@poplick65 You pay $300 on that phone?
Will you can get this phone $300 ATT sale

I got mine $300 and this one might work really good for you.
It will record 4k and play fortnite, displaying is QHD can play youtube to 1440p.
I have it and I like it better then stylo phone.
Im pleased with this phone tbh. I kinda missed having my E5 Plus. This is a good replacement, even though I generally prefer vanilla Android.
Change your profile picture, it freaked me out.
Can u plz review the emojis on the stylo 5? I just want to see if lg added new emojis to it or they just kept the same because in the stylo 4 they didn't have all the emojis for Oreo, for example the middle finger emoji, laughing out loud emoji, dove emoji, and others
I have a Stylo 2 from Boost I've owned since Feb 2017, Android is no longer supported for it but the stupid thing is a TANK of a phone. It's never glitched out on me with 30+ months of daily use, and I am not exactly gentle with my phones. Cheap E-Bay case has been her only protection and I've broken 3 of them so far lol. Even the original battery still last a full day, mind you it used to last over 2 days easy when she was new... Looking at reviews of the newest Stylo just encase anything happens to my grandma of a phone so thank you for the review.
I have a LG Stylo 2. It has 16gig internal memory. I put a 256 SD card in it which gives it more room.
If I want to upgrade to the LG Stylo 5 and not have all the bloatware can I order it from LG and move my sim card and SD card from my Stylo 2 to the Stylo 5?
I recently was given an lg k40 which has identical internals but doesn't have a stylus and has a smaller screen and higher ppi I got the extra gig of ram and 32 gbs of storage
I have a question for you guys how does it run on your games mine runs slow
Thank You for Your Time and Making This for us that have been thinking about the phone also... I Wish you Well!
I just got it yesterday and my only complaint is that I would like a better camera.
I got one from Cricket as an upgrade from the Stylo 3. I like that it has 32GB internal memory as opposed to the 16GB on the Stylo 3. I like the phone and thought it is well worth the money. I was surprised that it has a Type C USB connection instead of the micro USB. You will need adaptors or new charging cables if you charge your phone in multiple places. I don't know why LG went to Type C USB.
just got one about a week ago,still trying to get the hang of of it,i do not go to cricket,i went with T- Mobile
Sometimes my stlyo 5 will run REALLY slowly and freeze up for about a minute or so. It's honestly really annoying.
Dang...temp is 112°!
Haha yup! I'm in Phoenix, Arizona
@@KevinBreeze I used to live there around 2001 or so....I think it was 100° one day. It was the hottest...good video by the way!
I'm trying to figure wth lg was thinking not putting NFC on this phone but the older Stylo 3 has it 🤔
They're cheap
Wow 112 degrees in scottsdale
Right
@@isaiahogud31 AHHHHHAAHHHHHHAAAAHHH!!!!! AAHHHH!!!!!!! That's Hot!! that's Hot!!
Probably not as bad as places that are 90 with 75% humidity. No humidity really does make a difference. Their "heat index" might feel more like 90
Prob so. Im in phoenix
does the LG Stylo 5 have a glass front screen or acrylic plastic type?
Its glass gorilla glass 3 but smooth to touch and easy to clean it off finger smudge.
Are they gonna update lg stylo 4 to pie ? Probably not...
No
I have had all the stylo's up to the 4. Great mid grade phone for the price. I got all mine free or for 30 bucks. I am using my phone a ton more now besides making calls or sending texts. Just got tired of having a slow phone so I splurged and bought a One Plus 7 Pro after much research. What a fantastic phone. Definitely recommend the Stylo though if you don't want to spend much money on a phone. Especially if you like using a Stylus.
What about the battery? That is the most important consideration. Did you forget?
20 hours same as lg stylo 4+
I have a Stylo 3+. The battery needs replacing and the finger print reader is not working as well as it used to. I have been looking around to see if maybe I should replace it. Given it's Black Friday and there are some great deals on LG 5s I have decided I should. Your review has encouraged me to do so. Thank you. I have ordered one and can't wait for it to arrive. 😉
Cool channel.. reviewing budget style phones that actually work well.. Nice job.
How long dose the battery last via talk time ? 20hrs? Or Within a day it'll last?
20 hours yes I have the stylo 4+ same battery
@@mollies13 ohh okay thank you! 🙂
