Joke? 3 years of bi-monthly security updates is perfectly reasonable for a phone being at a good sale price especially FREE. People need to remember that phone batteries wear out over time and lot of people upgrade more often too. People can use a phone that doesn't have the latest security update too. Lot of fear mongering to get people to constantly buy phones. There are also plenty highly rated and very popular antivirus apps around too. I install them on my outdated security phones. Even system updates is pretty overrated because there is little difference between each. People act like every system update means that the systems are getting better and better. That isn't true.
They make sure to leave out the 1 OS upgrade in all that typing.

So you are a believer that every system update means that it gets better? I have iphone, Samsung and Pixel and they get the latest system updates. The difference between android 13 vs 14 is so minimal and the high majority of people can't even tell. I always laugh when people get so caught up with system updates. Believe it or not updating system updates may even slow the performance. I stopped updating my old ipad for that reason. We see this all the time with Apple iphones where they show side by side comparison with different system updates. I always laugh about the fear mongering system update fanatics. As if people can't survive without getting Android 16 in the future.... HAHA... God forbid we don't get Android 16 from our Android 14 phone in the future.... How will we survive? HAHA... Lets not forget that this phone price is FREE too. As if the phone explodes once Android 16 comes out!

Planned "so-called obsolescence" to fool fear mongering update phone customers..... "Oh no! I got android 15 and android 16 just came out. I need to hurry and get a new phone.".... Lot of people are fooled by that mindset.

Android os updates and fake "security updates" are all hyped up gimmicks.
Android os updates don't make your phone better or more secure.
You should only care about os updates only if the apps you are using stop working with like 5 or more years old os.
Most if not all apps don't require the latest os to run. As soon as the os is within 3-4 generations of the latest generation, the apps will run without any issues. The phones battery probably dies before running into app compatibility issues or everyone has moved to a newer phone.
For apps that require the latest os, such as corporate apps from your work, they just do that to pretend to be more secure, which is just a hyped gimmick.

Talking about "security" with smartphones is just a joke. There is no security at all with any smartphone, be it an android phone or an iphone. If you really care about security, throw your smartphone to trash can.

I thinking the same thing. I have a lot of phones. I don't see much difference between the Galaxy Flip 5 and S10 and Note 8 besides the occasional lag. Same for my Motorola and Sony phones. Some of my phones are on Android 8 and I am using Android 14 on my Flip 5 and Pixel. They all work fine

nonsense. I'm an android user and my Pixel 6a was made much smoother with the latest download. There are many scores of tech experts who will refute your claim. Let's see..someone with no cred on SD vs an expert??

Yeah, I'm happy to have 8GB RAM. Also this phone has Face Unlock and the fingerprint scanner is now under the glass like Samsung phones. The Metro description doesn't say this.

Unfortunately it's not 256GB storage. It is 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. It says this on the box and in About phone.
Does it have a 2nd IMEI, i.e., esim, like the 2023 Metro version ?

I have both and it's not true to say one one is better than the other.
Both have pros and cons and it depends on personal preference to say which one is better.

They're not even for the same audience lol. One has a pen, other is like a small phone with curved screen, etc. There's no clear winner because it really depends on what the person likes.
