Ok can someone verify my findings regarding Samsung a series

A series has 2 numbers the first number is the class 0 being the cheapest 5 being the best. Second number is the version as in 4 is the 2023 version I'm guessing. So in conclusion this is the best of the current series A Samsung phones

Why there is NO option for A14 for trade-in? I saw A13 or A12, but no A14? Got it from Metro a while back. It would be a great deal if can trade in for A14.
I was wondering about this as well.

Better buying used previous gen flagship phone instead. These mid-low tier phones come with low performance chips and parts, you will have lagging issues from the beginning.
I can confirm.

have an a32 that just sits in a drawer.
It was so laggy it was painful to use.

Phones like these are why people complain about Android phones being bad and slow.

For the price, I would recommend getting a refurbished pixel 5 and trading that in to Google for the pixel 7. It'd end up being around $250, but you'd have a great user experience.

Not even close. Used is used. Refurbished is a fancy term. Wear and tear is real on the screen, speakers and battery especially if it is approaching nearly 3 years. I would never buy a used/"refurbished" especially for a few hundred dollars. If one says that it charges over 80%, it doesn't mean that it holds charge like a new battery. Plus people gotta think about security and system updates AND also warranty. Performance is similar and you also get microsd support with the A54.

People really want new phones with longer support and warranty. People are also under the impression that
Apple is an exception. All refurbs that come from Apple get a new battery and possibly new externals.

No, this is actually an incredible phone for the price. Even Linustech said 2 months ago that the a53 is fantastic for $300 but this is the a54 so even better. A32 might be crap but this one is in a different league

I suppose if you want to stay Samsung. I'd probably go Pixel 6a at $300 (less, open box) plus still able to sell S9. $300 seems like a lot for this phone after a trade but maybe the S9 value isn't much anyways now?
My wife prefers Samsung phones at this point. The value of the S9 seems to be around $75, so the trade in offer double the amount for a phone that was sitting in a drawer. The Pixel hardware is great, but Google's quality control for software updates has been horrible lately. They have been releasing very buggy monthly updates. I purchased a Pixel 7 last week and after installing the March update my cell service was dropping intermittently. I worked with Verizon for hours and they couldn't resolve the issue. My other Verizon devices worked fine and I had them activate my old Pixel 3 and it's also working without any issues.

I returned the Pixel 7 and started checking for other Pixel owner's with connectivity issues and sure enough many people on Reddit are reporting problems with cell services after the March update.

Anyone successfully trade in a phone with no cracks but w/a black spot on screen? I have an S10+ w/a dime-sized black spot on bottom corner. Thx

Entirely disagree. This is an excellent phone and more than what 90% of people need. Those who are caught up in and constantly chasing "better" specs are ignorant. The difference nowadays b/w a "midgrade" chip vs a "top-grade" chip is almost unnoticeable to the vast majority of users, especially for most common tasks, incl web browsing.

Should have gotten the A13 from Metro instead of the A14.

The manual for this A54 5G model shows 1 Nano Sim plus 1 Esim.

https://slickdeals.net/f/15612457-samsung-galaxy-s22-s22-s22-ultra-at-t

$800 off any S22 for ATT with available trade in (Any S series device).... buy a used 40 S2 and set

the whole point is that anyone can 1-up your deal because of the nature of the website.... it's dumb to only use your example as gospel

now I am laughing at how you suck at googling very simple searches Smilie
What planet do you live on? Why does that deal have 69 thumbs up? Think hard. Why did the Samsung A71 5G deal got 141 thumbs up? This isn't about the better phone. This is about better value.

Paying through the nose with very expensive monthly payments ($65-85 plus taxes and fees for an individual plan and adjusted for family of 5).... 36 months of bill credits. Ouch!.... haha!

69 thumbs up deal and you want to pretend you just got a Samsung Galaxy s22 for "only $40"..... As George Costanza said "It isn't a lie if you believe it". Who cares about ripped off expensive service and bill credits?! You obviously don't understand but the slickdealers do. Haha

There were better Samsung Galaxy S22 and s22+ deals than your Samsung deal. The Google fi Samsung galaxy s22 deal at $299 is much better and it got 88 thumbs up. You got ripped off.
