Honestly, as a t-mobile customer, I find it hard to see the value of the Fi deal now when I compare it to the T-mobile deal.
A used S9 can be easily bought for about $175 - $200. This is the only cost to get an S21 from T-Mobile.
On the other hand, S20 from this deal will cost nearly $500 including service.
Wondering if the high resolution screen, 4gb of extra RAM and glass back make up for the nearly $300.

You're welcome

BTW, I received the phone already. Putting it side by side, the usable length of the screen is the same for Pixel 3XL and S20. The width is a bit shorter for S20. So just by the screen aspect ratio, P3XL is better. P3XL's physical fingerprint scanner is also better.
Otherwise, S20 is much better. Higher resolution on a smaller screen makes details nicer. Also much much faster. After all, they are two years apart.

So a good "American business" solution was put to obfuscate. So imagine that the full phone price from T-Mobile is 720 USD (24*30). Imagine it is zero dollars with credits....
So effectively for a 24 month period it is 30$ a month as long as you have a 50$ plan and above.
First when you buy the phone the Sales Tax is charged on the full 720$ and you pay that on the day of purchase. Say you are in PA it will be like 6%-8% depending on where you live.
Then every month in the bill you will have something like this
Service = 50$
Installment = 30$
Credit = -30$
Taxes & Fees = 8$
Total = 58$
The important thing for you to note is that the price of the phone at the end of month 1 is 720-30 = 690$
Similarly at the end of second month the balance on the phone is 690-30=660$ and so on. Imagine after 6 months you would like to leave the contract, then you owe 720-(6*30) = 720-180 = 540$ as the balance to be paid on the phone.
So this way they basically indirectly force you to be with them for 2 years as you would not get the :free: benefit unless you stay with them for the whole period. Now imagine that you surrender your old phone and get only say 240$ worth of credits. You will be paying 30-10 = 20$ per month for the phone. The way is the 240$ could also be split in the same 24 month period which means if you leave in between you not only need to pay the full of the remaining balance, but you forfeit the reminder of the 240$ for your surrendered phone.
Now do you wonder why the companies are interested in this BS.
I know the Pixel comes out cheaper after GC and selling the B&O speakers, but I plan to use the phone for trade-in for next years iPhone 13 Pro Max. Phone will be used as regular phone (social media, videos, camera) and no gaming.
Pixel Pros: Slightly better photos, stock android, regular updates
Pixel Cons: Build Quality, lack of IP68 (ones i care about)
Pros for S20: Better Build, Powerful SoC, Screen, 12GB RAM, potentially higher trade-in/resell value
Cons for S20: Samsung bloatware, photos not as good as Pixel/iPhone Pro
Google Fi wanted to credit $125 for a Note 9 as trade-in, so I'm keeping it. Easy transfer of my Goolge Fi # .
