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 .
That was NOT my case a few months ago, I needed to talk to CSR for unlocking.
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.

I don't trust the phone automatically unlocking on day 60 and expiring on day 60. If anything at all goes wrong, you'll need an extra couple days to be on-plan and request and unlock, which would suck.
Take a look at what hpham just posted a few hours ago. That is the process for Android phones.
Finally, a 120Hz display is noticeable by most people. I would not buy a phone without it. My iPad Pro has ProMotion that is so poorly implemented, many apps don't use it and it's definitely noticeable but my S23 is beautifully smooth and fast as is my iPhone 13 PM and Tab S9 (all have 120Hz displays).
Someone mentioned that the a54 was laggy - I personally have not experienced this. My pixel 5a (which benchmarks about 20% slower) runs android 14 with no issues, and my wife's a34 (which is slower) runs OneUI 6.0 without lag issues. I'm not expecting issues with the a54 that hasn't arrived yet.
So, I pointed out a few performance tips that would help, and I stand by them. 120hz is a performance drain, so are animations.
The reason I didn't mention performance later was to point out that even on a phone the didn't need the performance, I would do many of the same things. You may see 120hz giving you something, I do not see a benefit, so I choose not to pay the cost (performance and battery life) of using it.
Just because it's a "selling point" doesn't mean it's a feature I want or need. This is a midrange phone - meant for basic tasks like browsing, maps, phones, audio, etc..., not for power users. And, I don't think you have to do any of the performance tips for it to do those tasks well.
However, IF (as the original poster said) you are encountering performance issues, there are things you can do to improve performance.
I personally will almost always choose battery life improvements regardless of performance, because I figure the phone only has so many charges before I have to replace the battery. Conserving battery preserves the life of the phone (any phone - not just midrange phones).
yep. slick.
Will they refuse if u don't pay for the 2nd month?

Anyone know when Metro changed the policy?
I bought a Razr on March 23rd - how do I find out when I am eligible to unlock?
"Three hundred sixty-five (365) days must have passed since the device's activation date"

I appreciate a wiki post.
Does Total phones, when turned on, will show "Total" logo?
Mine had tracfone branding at startup.
