EDIT 8/25: Thread originally is for ATT version but now looks like sane seller has the unlocked TMO version as well for $10 more. Brand new, warranty, ect.. the TMO version is better since it's using MediaTek 5G chip, the Dimensity 1000C, instead of the SD 765G, which is on all the other variants.
LG Velvet TMO variant $269

Some features may not be compatible with all carriers.
How to know if the phone is compatible with your carrier:
If you are with Verizon, Sprint, or any CDMA, you need to buy their own phones or a phone that ESN number shows compatible with your carrier, that means if you are with Verizon you need to buy a Verizon phone and our listing has to say Verizon phone, an unlocked phone will not work with those service providers.
If your carrier is a GSM carrier, you need to call and talk to their tech support to find out what frequency band they are using, then check the frequencies for the phone that you are buying to make sure it supports all the frequencies (Bands) to make sure full compatibility. Please note, carrier branded phones may have some limited such as Wi-Fi calling when the phone is used with other carriers

I don't understand why people get so caught up on OS updates. security updates maybe. but most ios and android updates do little more than add useless features and consume more resources.

However, this phone is one of the few that has the trinity of features that phone makers neglect: microSD slot, QI charging, and headphone jack. Even better if you can find a cheap dual screen for this. BUT, the T-mobile edition uses the Mediatek Dimensity 1000 processor rather than Snapdragon, so the dual screen cases won't be compatible.

sure, the xiaomi's got a lot of updates but what's the point when the software is inherently buggy? i don't get the fad with 'frequent updates' - if it works well, why break it? then again, that's just my view.
such a shame that companies like Nokia (of yore) and LG focused on the US instead of better markets, ultimately burning their fingers. two companies that did a LOT of r&d without simply copying - perhaps a bit too much. quite unfortunate. sure wish they had the guts to stick to their guts instead of gambolling all over the place.

If this ATT version doesn't support/load T-Mo VoLTE software, then it's dead for calls on T-Mo starting January.
T-Mobile does not have plan to shutdown GSM yet

2) Prior to the Dec'22 decommissioning of 2G, as with other carriers, TMo's planning, or likely planning to remove some of the 2G support and calling areas, as it begins re-allocating 2G spectrum, prior to the drop-dead date.
3) T-Mobile's pushed the date a few times, I think (most recent was Aug 4, 2021?), but at some point, soon, they're going to stop even permitting activation of phones w/o T-Mo VoLTE, such as this one. That could literally be any day now.
So, best case scenario (without reflashing OS, drivers, and editing .prop file, etc. to add/enable T-Mo VoLTE), you get the phone signed up on T-Mo before they stop activating non-T-Mo VoLTE phones, then you hope you get 2G voice calling, for some portion of the next year.
That gamble doesn't seem slick, but that's just me.
UPDATE: Just noticed the OP addition of the fact, that the seller's now offering the T-Mo version for $10 more. So, nobody has to go through the above 2g-ymnastics, and can get the T-Mo version. Everybody wins!
