Also anyone know how long this $50 discount on the 5a is going to be offered?

EDIT: I found it good through Dec 26th.

Apple is as bad - and apparently signed a secret deal with the Chinese government.

Samsung disables eSIM functionality on their flagship models (and claims it's because the carriers won't allow it - although Google and Apple seem to be able to persuade the carriers).

Motorola's only eSIM offering is the razr - and it's single sim to boot.

So who should I buy from, if I'm looking for 5G / dual sim with eSim?

Not seeing great trade-in values on iPhone SE (2nd Gen). Only $120.... if it was $200 or more then I'd probably buy. XR is $320 though... so not bad on that one.
Best Buy gave me $360 when I got the pixel 6

How would you describe and compare them? I've currently got a 4a.
No difference really between 4a 5g and 5a 5g....5a 5g has a metal frame...feels a little bit sturdier. I picked one up a few weeks ago and passed my 4a 5g to my mom.

Quote from pc1654 :
Got it from BF deal. One word of caution: DO NOT use the phone's first time power up data transfer option to copy all apps/data from your old phone (it's Google's "recommended" method using USB cable to transfer the data between the two phones) because it will not transfer many data over. It copied the phone directory & message board properly. Note: I don't sync my stuff using their platform. However, it didn't copy data associated with other apps over. For example, it didn't copy the bookmarks of Chrome browser. It didn't copy the voice files of Voice Recorder app. It didn't copy my whole photo gallery over either. You better use other method to copy the data, such as via PC, google backup etc. Just not use this USB cable connection and their software approach. Last time I was transferring apps/data from one LG to another LG phone using LG's software and everything was fine.
I didn't have any problems, but I was upgrading from one pixel to another.

I've had my Pixel 2 for years. I don't know if it's locked or unlocked, is there a way I can tell? I think it may be Verizon version, if that's the case I can't trade it in?

The pixel has a better camera.
But one plus is 90hz screen.

prissily, if you have a phone that is working you can afford to wait . . . . i jumped from Nexus 6p ($275) to Pixel 3 ($250).

Pixel 3 still runs without any issues and you can get one for about $100. It will run without any issues for next couple years (that's about $50 per year). Pixel 5 just can't give you that much value.
On fi.google.com, I don't see pixel 3.. what exactly you can find Pixel 3? I'm really interested to buy Pixel 3 only just to save some money

Been doing that for all the phones in my family that last 4 or 5 years.
I always change it to .5x, I've never actually disabled it. Hmm, maybe I'll try it on my Pixel 4.

I'm gone wait it out a little longer. I anticipate this phone dropping to the $300 range in 3 to 6 months.
If you can wait for the 6a, might as well get the 6a as it is rumored to have a longer software update support period (being released with Android 12)
