None of the high end devices do anymore. It will take atleast 6 months with someone taking around 20 photos a day, having 100+ daily use apps to fill up the storage. I used to think the same way you did a while ago and have been buying 256gb devices for a while and realizing that with all the cloud backup, I never even cross 50gb.

If you are wondering about the camera on this one, takes great photo in good lighting but struggles in low lighting and specially rather bad when there is motion in frames and or there is background lighting.

Visible seems to have a 14-day free return policy, with paid shipping cost. But I have no experience with it. Curious anybody has ever returned a device to visible?

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

If your carrier is tracfone or "other", then you won't qualify for the $20 off, speakers, or $200 gift card.

I believe Tracfone with an AT&T SIM and Tracfone with a T-Mobile SIM should still work

edit:

Tracfone is still on the list

I picked up a similar deal for a Pixel 4a5g. The B&O speaker sounds good. The rebate does not count the initial payment towards the two payments. I know the Pixel I received was not locked at all, I was able to use an esim from Tmobile from the beginning. Seems like a pretty good deal.

Not 5G if something you want. Excellent phone for the price, but I am sure you can pick up around this price on eBay if you wouldn't wish to go through the charade
Are you sure about that? I thought that any phone using the SD 865 chipset, like this one, necessarily had a 5G modem.

Is it instead that Visible is not advertising it as such because they don't offer 5G service?

Regarding price, the cheapest I have seen these routinely is $310 for a Used, "Good" condition unlocked TMobile version on Swappa. "Mint" condition jumps up to about $390. So to get this NIB for less than $300 isn't bad, even with the rigmarole.

Free no, unlimited at reasonable cost yes. If you have prime, you get unlimited photos. If not, you can always look at Flickr. At$59/year, they do offer unlimited storage.

Yep by far cheapest I've seen been keeping an eye on OBs. Unfortunately, hard pass, an additional $45 for service and wait on GC, think I'll have better chances at getting 8Pro for same starting cost or less within that time frame.

either way, good find OP.

Hmm. Let us know if you find the 8T or 8 Pro for anywhere near that. I'm interested because I'd like the telephoto lens, which this lacks. But they seem to command a pretty high premium. I think you can grab the 8 for cheap because T-Mobile was giving them away at one point, so people are offloading them.

That said, I'm wondering if I have to leave the SIM in the phone for two months in order to get the GC -- like Google FI does with its promotions. Does anybody have any experience with this? TIA.
