The A54 is your friend.

I read it's only $40 plan. Btw, how long should I continue $40 plan?

You only need to pay for it for the one month and then the 6 month clock keeps ticking. So conceivably if you pay for it for one month you could just use it for Wi-Fi only device for 5 months and then it will become unlocked

No Dex though.... Only FHD screen. No headphone jack. You sacrifice a lot going from an S10 to an a54. You lose a flagship chipset, capacitive fingerprint sensor, headphone jack, Dex, USBC 3.1, video output, good cameras etc...

Not saying the a54 doesn't have some value especially if you can find it on a prepaid deal for 50 bucks or whatever. But it's going to leave someone coming from an S10 wanting.

One of my biggest reasons to not get an iPhone, and now Google Photos keeps whining about paying for photo storage, but I have a 256GB micro SD card. My Moto Ace 5G whatever is good enough, but I just want better picture quality. When I go to concerts, like Incubus, Dirty Heads and Sublime, I'm seeing great picture quality on phones around me, and mine just kinda sucks.

Get a Pixel phone. Plenty of deals coming up.

Good luck with security updates for only 2 years. After that you're F'd. F Samsung. Pixel 8 is my next phone

Not true for newer devices.
S23 and S23 FE will get Android 17 until 2027 and additional security updates for at least 1 more year.

I like having Samsung Care near me when I need a repair or other services.
Maybe others don't care but to me that is a big plus.
Pixels will have more software updates but I don't think I'd keep a smartphone for that long.
The battery and hardware are unlikely to last that long and remain sufficient to me at least.

You can get this for 50 at metrobyt/metropcs with port in. It will unlock at 6month with a 30/40 a month plan.

Not everyone wants to wait 6 months to unlock though.

You can only do this in store. You won't get the 30/40 plan when you upgrade in store.

Needs 5G mmwave frequency bands... also bezels are too big for this price/specs ..
Otherwise, not worth it...

UPDATE: Confirmed it has 5G mmwave support (Tmobile US, N260 and N261).
Bezels are little too wide for my taste, but at $400 it makes this phone really good pick.

Additionally, Samsung offers good trade-in deals, so if you have an old unit you can trade it in and for couple hundred more landing S23 may be a better choice for some.
