No N71 5G. That's the rural backbone of TMobile network.

EDIT: Looks like Best Buy has missing information. I'd trust GSMArena over Best Buy. Actual list of 5G Bands. T-Mobile should have 100% compatibility.

5G bands 2, 5, 25, 41, 66, 71, 77, 78 SA/NSA/Sub6

Has a decent Snapdragon chipset, 8gb ram and 256gb storage. Has been updated to Android 12 already and will receive one more major update to 13.

Quote from madhuk10 :
I don't think this statement is true. I believe, this is a fully Unlocked phone.
Yeah, I've never heard of you BYO device to a carrier and then they lock your device you brought. That's what this is... a device not locked to any carrier. You wouldn't then take it to somebody and they'd be like "AHA! This is your phone, but we are locking it!"

Phones are locked to carriers because they give you a discount (subsidize your purchase) on buying a phone from them so they want you to stick with them for a while to make it worth their while to have subsidized you. That's not the case when you bring your own phone.

Sorry, my wording wasn't very clear (I see that re-reading it now). I meant "this" deal, the Motorola, is better than the Nord.
Depends if you need those bands.

A lot of if depends if you prefer Nord's UI to Motorola's UI. They both modify Android.

Can you send link to the deal price for that?
I meant this one is a better deal than the Nord. I was actually in the process of ordering it at the time I typed that message, so I rushed and didn't make my sentence clear. Apologies.

True, but the Edge is more powerful than the Nord so it'll be a little more future-proof and should handle apps better with the newer Snapdragon chip (Antutu: Edge 524385/ Nord N20 398374).

Maybe I'm not understanding something but this doesn't look like it's 100% compatible with T-Mobile based off of this page:

https://www.t-mobile.com/support/...le-network

According to that page, T-Mobile uses these bands for 5G:

Band n71 (600 MHz)
Band n41 (2.5 GHz)
Band n258 (24 GHz)
Band n260 (39 GHz)
Band n261 (28 GHz)

So unless I'm reading this wrong, this phone does not have:

Band n258 (24 GHz)
Band n260 (39 GHz)
Band n261 (28 GHz)

I actually bought from Motorola the 2021 Edge 256 GB phone. I had it shipped to me, but then after doing some research, a phone very similar to the Edge (incl 5G bands) is the Motorola 2022 G Stylus 5G (Model# XT2215). It also came with 256 GB of memory.

I got it at Metro-by-T-Mobile for $10 when I switched my cell service from Verizon to Metro by T-Mobile.I must remain with Metro for 6 months then they unlock it and I can switch to any carrier. I returned the Edge 2021 256 GB phone and got a full refund. BTW, you can not expand the memory in the Edge, but you can expand memory in the XT2215 to as it has as SD slot.

I have verified the below specs on my XT2215:
OS: Android 12
Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G SM6375
CPU: 64 bit, octa-core, 6 nm
GPU: Adreno 619

I am getting 5G Ultra Capacity speeds with Metro.

Yes there are other differences, namely the camera MP, but I just could not justify the addit cost.

Heck, for $10 I am glad I returned the $499 M Edge 2021. Very satisfied with my XT2215.

n2xx are mmWave bands, which are optional for 5G support. They have very low coverage (mostly in big cities) and lots of mid-tier 5G phones like iPhone SE work without them.

Thinking of a phone for my dad, who's not a phone-savy. Is this a good option for the price?
It takes the same amount of "savvy" to use as every other smartphone.

This phone runs fine but the camera is super terrible and the body is outdated . I just returned the $399 one bought from Amazon.
A 'Super terrible' camera is a software issue, not hardware. Nothing a Gcam apk can't fix.
