Previously I also did a lot of Metro and Tracfone deals to give to friends and family.

That said I have been burnt enough times and learnt the hard way to stay away from them. At least with Metro the system rejects orders beforehand. With Tracfone the issues happen after you get the phone…if something goes wrong in activation the customer service outrigjt lies and wastes your time .

I saw quite a few comments on "unlocked automatically after 60 days"
That was NOT my case a few months ago, I needed to talk to CSR for unlocking.

I had this phone for about 5 months. The battery sucks, the SOT was about 4 hours on a full charge, and AccuBattery estimated it even lower. The phone heated a lot. Both issues should be caused by Samsung's in house 1380 chipset (fabricated by Samsung as well). I had a OnePlus Nord 20 at the same price range that lasted about 11- 12 hours SOT on a full charge without heating issues.

The camera is good but not splendid. The screen looks good but has lagged touch register/none-register issue. Overall this phone is buggy and not worth the MSRP of $699. $100 seems like a fair price if you don't have other choice.

Quote from Hat-Trick :
The latest OneUI update (6.1) fixes the animation lag you see when moving screens, etc. It's almost normal now. Night and day difference so they fixed something!
When it comes to animation lag something I've done for years now is enable developer mode and turn:
Window animation scale
Animation off

Transition animation scale
Animation off

Animator duration scale
Animation off

That way there's no graphical animation prettiness to get choppy. Then you start to really notice what the hardware limitations are.

I forgot another reason on top of bang for the buck at buying $50 A54's is I was looking for the best phone Samsung offered that still took micro SD cards. I wanted to go back to keeping crap tons of stuff on my phone instead of relying on Dropbox storage for every thing. The trade offs we make, I wish the Ultra series still allowed micro SD cards.

Yes, I actually was doing that just now in the process of swapping numbers between a Samsung with a SIM and the A54 5G with eSIM. It (temporarily) had both and you can choose primary and can also enable both to be used for data.

I'd already adjusted those developer options to try to get rid of the lag. No go.
But UI 6.1 fixed it.

The A15 is inferior to the A54, however the fact that it unlocks after 2 months is pretty cool

I know my question sounds dumb to me; but still wanted to check with the slickdeals community.

After getting my phone and activating it, will i be able to downgrade my service from $50 to $30 a month plan, will there be any issues with unlocking or any other hidden trouble that I am missing? I want to continue to use the phone on total until it unlocks, but wanted to get the least expensive plan. TIA

How do you guys get past the veriff verification? I've been trying for days but It's always stuck in one place

Same is happening to me. Everything goes through then the veriff just gets stuck in a loop. Maybe have to use a PC

Edit: I did the process through a computer and it worked.

Their terms didn't say anything about plan requirement. You just need to activate it and then after 60 days, you can unlock it
