For the people complaining about the fingerprint sensors -

A really good trick is putting the same finger in twice.

I have my left thumb saved twice in my 6pro and it's fast and flawless. My other fingers take much longer to detect. Seems silly but works very well with this method.

I'm a current Google Fi user so I take advantage of the phone deals constantly. I am on the $20/month plan which charges $10 per gig of data since I'm a light data consumer. If you go with an unlimited data option, the phone deal isn't with it probably. Something like US Mobile would be more cost effective in the long term and buying the phone outright.

MKBHD said the 8 is better. Better screen, better materials, better camera sensor. However this deal is much cheaper for Google-Fi customers. I have Pixel 5a, 6a, 7 currently. Loved 5a physical finger sensor, works instantly. On-screen finger sensor on 6a and 7 are problematic for me. I switched to Moto ThinkPhone and it has been a dream to use. Think phone gets immediate security and OS updates and everything works flawlessly. Couldn't be happier.

So how much would it be monthly? What's the cheapest plan eligible? From what I can tell you just pay for service for 2yrs and get the phone free, I just can't figure out which plans are eligible

is this better than the pixel 8? i was doing a comparison, other than model name 8 vs 8A and slight update in the camera, they are almost identical. as a matter of fact, 8 has better video frame rates. is that true?

Can confirm that the Pixel 7 fingerprint sensor is finicky. My last phone was the 3a, and that sensor was flawless. You hate to see the regression.

You actually can. I bought S22 Ultra, Pixel 6A and Pixel 7 using the same method.

At this price, I'll take 8A any day. It does 90% of the job for less than half the price ($299)
If you're buying outright, definitely go for 8.

Starting June 20, 2024, VPN by Google One will be discontinued if that matters to you.

yeah, makes no sense to get the deal because 30x24 is 720, which is wild.

Haven't heard of this, what's the 120 days deal for a Samsung S24 exactly?
