That is a question loaded with variables. Anyways I will give my data points as a reference. For me here, 5G is a couple miles away on TMO and not that great. However, on my newer devices with the Standalone 5G Sim Card (VS say another same phone that i just popped in old SIM in instead). . .the phones with SA sims get 100-150mbps, where as the non SA sim phones gets 60-100 normally, all other things equal.

Another quirk is the 5G home internet Gateway I recently got. It seems to be non SA 5G, further evidenced by the primary signal always being set at 4G no matter how you twerk the online settings (other than shutting of 4G altogether, which shuts down communication in the end). And keep in mind I never get better than 'Good" signal on the app (There are higher VG and Excellent ratings). . .but when I am at "Good" it pulls from B2 4G or B66 4G. . .and Gives me 50-100Mbps hardwired. . .and when I twist the gateway slightly to where it gives me "Weak" signal. . .it seems to pull off the N71 5G tower and my speeds jump up to 100-200mbps hardwired. For reference, my 4G towers are just under a mile away due east, and the n71 5G tower is roughly 2 miles away and to the NE, so it's not that hard to try and exclude one or the other. . .

If you're planning on sticking with T-Mobile for the next 2 years, this is a great deal. They're giving $800 for Pixel 3s and S8s!

Meh. I traded in a S9 earlier for $800 on a standard Magenta 2-line 55+ plan. Luke warm.

Thanks. I have another phone that has several scratches on the screen and on the body of the phone... Do you think I would be able to trade it in since the screen is not cracked? Thanks
Scratches are fine.

What about starting a plan to get the deal?

Going to look into it to see if it's worth it to open two lines just for this. Trading in two Pixel 3s. Otherwise going to switch to At&t prepaid for $50 for both per month.

Off topic, T mobile signal is not great here, but they do have one of the best customer service. With them being one of the better 5G network, will that improve signal strength? Or 5G means you get faster speed if you get good coverage?

I will stay with them if they can improve their signal strength in the near future.

No Fkin love for AT&T??!
While I don't think this is the hottest no add a line deal on TMO this year for Sammy phones, or Apple for that matter. . .why did you even comment here about not getting a deal for AT&T?

They always have deals if you want to switch from AT&T to TMO, otherwise?????

5G is a generic term all of the carriers can use. A few technical variables make up each carrier's "claim" to 5G. In my area, T mobile's 4G LTE is about the same and sometimes faster than the 5G appearing on my phone. Depends on the tower locations. It's a game all of them play.

You can but it would be full price not the discounted rate. The discounted rate is split over 24 months so basically 20 dollars off for 24 months

In general, it should be okay. But I did see some rejection reports. It's better to confirm with rep before you place your order and save a copy for evidence.

I would like to know this too. But maybe I am just getting old, but I don't like all these hoops, and bill credits, and such. Just knock the $500 or $800 off and let me pay the rest on the spot.
