The primary constructive takeaway from my post was intended as: S10>>N200 and don't fall for 5G hype. You seem to hope that T-Mobile is doing something special with their 5G deployment... and while it differs from what Verizon does, that doesn't actually produce a better result nor could it meet the expectations built around 5G. I'll explore that below in case you're interested(?).

The distinction which launches the article I shared (which did center on Verizon) is the same for T-Mobile: the form of 5G which would provide the benefits touted by some sources is exceptionally rare. T-Mobile gives their own version of this which is fairly telling:

https://www.t-mobile.com/news/net...-and-speed

T-Mobile's TLDR is that:

AT&T is an open liar (i.e. 5GE is faux 5G)
Verizon has some work to do on expanding mmWave 5G
(And by extension delivering on the promise of 5G)
Please don't take notice that T-Mobile is also not delivering mmWave 5G
(Basically they talk a lot of trash about mmWave without highlighting the distinction on what it delivers: true, low-latency, gigabit 5G capacity)

While T-Mobile touts the expansion of mid-band 5G, you will notice no mention of a huge mmWave deployment of their own... because they don't have one. More specifically they have very little spectrum in that space and no significant plans for deploying it beyond the few high-density scenarios which will distinguish 5G for years to come: stadiums and high-density urban centers like the middle of Times Square.

https://www.fiercewireless.com/op...mall-cells

Instead what T-Mobile has done is dedicated more of their existing 4G LTE network to 5G in the same way they quickly repurposed their 3G network to 4G in a bid to maintain relevance in the 4G era. At the time, they lacked the desirable low-band real estate purchased by Verizon, but saw they could maximize the efficiency of the bandwidth they had. The way that plays out similarly today is a 5G network which provides an incremental efficiency improvement over the prior network configuration and whose growth is built upon mid-band spectrum acquired from Sprint.

Maybe some of this is interesting to someone(?).

Good luck!

The OnePlus N200 is probably better from the standpoint it has a Snapdragon and more importantly 1080p screen. It's also an IPS screen on the Nord.

The A32 only has a 720p screen and Mediatek processor.


Comparison:

The main advantage to the A32 is in theory it should have a physically better camera.
Bill Credits = BLECCH

Edit: The deal from Metro has been added to this post with the instant full rebate. Now that's a deal!

I've been a T-Mobile customer for over a decade and I'm not going anywhere so to me bill credits are cash.

This would be a great backup phone.

Hm I wonder how this is compared to the A32. Both are 6.5 but this one is on Snapdragon 480 with a 90hz screen. Retail value is also 70 bucks less so you'd pay less tax on this one

Should mention bill credits in subject.
IMO, the Metro promotion is a better deal.

Exactly. Especially for a Nord that will quickly plummet in value compared to Apple or Samsung.

I have an old and grandfathered plan, will they force me to upgrade to get a 5G phone, I don't care about 5G, just want to get a newer phone. I know newers phones can work with a 4G sim card. but wondering if the carrier will force people to switch.

Is this in lieu of the A32 offer, or another option?

No forcing. All T-Mobile plans that have LTE data also get 5G access for free.

The phone is free after bill credits. $0. Can the value of the phone drop below zero? If you are staying with Tmobile for the next 2 years anyway, why not get a free phone from them?

What's the point of commenting this on a post for a FREE device? It's almost always the first comment I see on these types of posts.

Do people really wait for their alerts to go off just so they can race over and say the same crap each and every time?

It used to be contracts, now it's bill credits. No company is going to give you free phones without some kind of guarantee that they'll make some money off of you.

Lots of people stick with the same carrier for many years so bill credits aren't really an issue.

You can literally trade in any crappy device, as long as it works, and get a free phone.

If you're so uninterested in trade in deals and bill credits, then just pay for your devices out of pocket and use whatever cheap $10 a month plan you want, but then don't complain that no one gives you free stuff.
