They won't let you select cracked s7. While you can get $320 for cracked s8.
Thank you

Yes. PayPal with chase freedom
I used a Citi card for 2 year Extended warranty. Plus, I'm getting 5% cashback on online purchases anyway.

Need a smaller phone? S20.
Have to have expandable storage? Note Ultra.
Best bang for the buck? Probably Regular Note 20.

You get the big screen, basically same hardware... all at a price $100 less than the S20, and $300 less than the Ultra.

I will miss the expandable storage, but I'll survive on 128 gig for ~$500.

People complain about the expensive data, but in my eyes, unlimited 5G including tethering for $60 isn't horrible at all.
Does S20 have a better display than Note20?

When would they charge my credit card? I only see a $0.10 authorization. Do they charge cards upon shipment of phone?

Same question. Does the full charge appear after they ship the order or when does that happen ?

Just got a confirmation from Google fi customer support:


I would like to inform you that you should activate the device with Google Fi within 30 days of the shipment confirmation email and remain active on Google Fi for 90 consecutive days.

The device should have Google Fi SIM and should be with Google Fi for 90 consecutive days.
After 90 days, are we able to use the phone with different carriers like AT&T/T-Mobile/Verizon?

60 x 3 = 180 not 250 so your numbers are a bit off. Not only that but they're getting Google Fi service for those 90 days in place of their old service instead of paying an additional 60/month on top of their old plan.
I based my estimation on value. The data allowance is international, so you would be able to use the data anywhere in the world. That changes the value proposition for some people... If we forget the Corona situation. That being said, the pricing of $30 a month (for similar local data) is (barely) possible on other plans, making the $500 is equivalent to the $500 they offer

It has a higher rez, but IMHO on a 6.2" screen, you're putting hubcaps on the tractor.

I held both side by side... couldn't tell the difference at all.

No the sim installs Google's app to monitor which phone you are using. Even if you use esim it's still going to have the account info.
Not true. Once you activate the phone, you can delete the Fi app & insert another carrier's SIM. This way, you'd not pay anything for usage (besides $20 + tax) over the next two months.

But the battery life on the regular 20 is better. The ultra also has expandable storage. Wtf was samsung thinking by not having it on the Note 20?
That was the main reason I went with Note Ultra. I was completely fine with ready of the specs/downgrade.

With how big file sizes are now with increased quality, 128GB won't last long.

yes, it's been answered a lot already. Many people say GV qualifies.

Thank you so much. May I know which one is the cheapest option to get more trade in value
You can check the trade in values here:
https://fi.google.com/signup?tradein=true

If they honor their quote, then functional but cracked screen Galaxy S8/S8+ are probably good choices since their trade in values are $320/$305, and they don't cost too much on Ebay.

If you have a functional iPhone 6s/6s plus/6s with good screen, you can also trade them in for ~$260-$300 (depending on model and storage)

Are you sure this will not invalidate the discount terms?

For train-in S8, I chose $350 option with no cracks on screen. but my phone has some cracks on the back cover glass. Is it ok? or they will revalue it to $320?

It's not the Ultra, so therefore a $249 discount, not 500.
