Nope. Only 2 phones are good but they are no longer free.
i assume you're talking about the oneplus nord n20 5g and moto g stylus 5g 2022? i thought the a13 5g would have been a good phone as well if it had 128GB storage.

Compare the specs, Motorola is better in every way. don't get suckered into Samsung brand.
OnePlus is my brand of choice. I had many Motorola phones over the years, but got a oneplus for the first time last year, and I fell in love with the brand.
Don't compare the Moto G Stylus a more expensive phone to the Samsung A13 and call Samsung a sucker brand. A fair comparison would be the A23 when comparing specs dollar for dollar.
The phone itself is actually free with a new line and one month's prepaid service at $40 (or more, depending on the plan chosen), with or without a number port-in.
To head off questions which were repeatedly asked in previous Metro free phone threads:
No need to cancel after the first month. Just make sure you're not on autopay and don't pay for the second month. Then, your service will be canceled for non-payment (since it's prepaid, not postpaid).
Metro phones are automatically available for unlock 6 months after initial activation. You do not have to keep active service for 6 months. Unlock is achieved via an app pre-installed on the phone or in the phone's settings. This might be phone specific - perhaps someone else can speak to where the unlock options exist on this phone.
What year is this? We still start with 64GB? The OS took like 32gb now.
Yep it's sad to see isn't it. 64GB is bare minimum now. Really it should be 128 given the size of the OS and the apps now. And how cheap flash memory is right now!

Whoa I got all three for $40 without knowing it lol

What do you mean? Knowing what? My favorite was the OnePlus Nord and 5g. The 2022 stylus 5G is nice, just wasn't a fan of how big the phone was. Felt huge in my hands.
That is a big factor for me as well. I noticed many people in these Metro threads, myself included, are picking up phones for friends / family who might see little to no benefit from the hardware spec bump. The end-users of these phones tend to not enjoy frequent changes to their tech, once they learn something and get used to it they don't want change. From that perspective, going with a Samsung device with 4 or 5 year software commitment is a better choice vs going with support that will get 1-2 years worth of updates. Wonder if Metro will offer A54 for $50 like they did with A53, that device will likely get 5 years of support.
I got a Samsung Galaxy A23 5G (good phone) on Boost for $49.99 with their $40. plan. I dropped down to their $45. for 3 months plan after the initial 30 days were up. You choose either At&t or T-Mo sim.
