This is the correct price for this phone.

Don't forget Best Buy cashback offers from Chase cards.

Also If you add Galaxy buds FE to cart along with this, you will get buds for $19.99.

Update : They updated the price of the buds now. It was $69.99 and bundle discount took $50 off making $19.99 . Sorry for the late comers

A54 can't touch this, less ram, horrible processor. And missing some sensors. The A series is not in the same league as this.

Quote from JohnS7272 :
Official Metro policy is 6 months service required to unlock but many are paying for one month service then sitting on it without service for 5 more months and getting unlocked. It's a risk though, they could decide to enforce their stated policy and you'd be stuck with a Metro locked phone.
not true.

dont speak of that which u dont know of

incidentally.. yesterday, (maybe 2 days ago).

i bought this from metro for less than $100.which includes 1 month of service.
then i will use as wi fi device for next 5 months.
i will make $0 payments to metro during those 5 monhs
total cost is $100
i will wait 6 months for it to unlock
i will use on tmoble once it unlocks

total cost is $100



here is the policy.

click me

[metrobyt-mobile.com]
Please read the OFFICIAL Metro by Tmobile unlock policy.

"Once a device becomes eligible for unlocking (eligibility requirements are described below), Metro by T-Mobile will automatically and remotely unlock the device within two business days if the device supports remote unlock."

Unlock eligibility requirements
"We unlock mobile devices that meet the following eligibility criteria free of charge:

The device must be purchased from Metro by T-Mobile.
The device must not be reported as lost, stolen or blocked.
One hundred eighty (180) days must have passed since the device's activation date."

{180 days since activation. no mention of payment requirement during those 180 days}

Countless number of people have reported.
Both iphone + Android have auto unlocked ~180 days from purchase.
Even when paying for ONLY 1 month of service.

Good luck getting one though. Even you are lucky enough for it to get in stock, it said there is a problem with your payment even there was no problem at all.

I spent the last two weeks trying to get one and I gave up. So long Metro.
easy...picked up one in store...less than 100...see above for details...

Quote from PurpleScene795 :
I have this phone. I got it on the Metro Tmo deal.

Its perfect for my needs. I switched/downgraded from iphone 14 plus.

I'm not a huge picture person but the photos are adequate. I only take pics of documents and stuff I sell online and it gets the job done.

Its a very snappy, fast phone, just as fast or even faster than my iphone (s23fe has a 120hz screen). Battery life (on power saver) is good. I'm not a power user, but I get 3 days (just like the Iphone 14 plus) before I need to charge.

Still getting used to android again. iOS made things a lot more simple to do and more intuitive. But android has everything you need as well.

Fingerprint reader is good even with a screen protector. Face unlock works good but not like FaceID.
like what u said

myself=big fan of " fit for purpose"
