I want 199 deal from visible 😂
From Visible you get locked 9a, while with Best Buy you get unlocked one.

You can get a $50 Bestbuy GC for your 6a without a purchase of a new phone

the visible deal is active again, and if you can wait 2 months for unlock, it's a much better deal.

Also most likely, the visible one has a permanently locked bootloader, a trait with Verizon devices. This one from best buy should be unlockable.

PS: From network/sim lock perspective, visible one should unlock after 60 days of consecutive service

Yep, that's what I'll be doing. Opt for in store pickup so they can take the trade on the spot instead of mailing it in.

Genuinely curious. Why would you trade in a Pixel 8 for a Pixel 9a?
Better screen, better APU, better signal, better camera, better battery, new one year warranty, etc. It's a no brainer when they are offering $340 and you are only paying $300 for an upgrade or so plus a gift card on top.

Tensor G2/G3 has good urban RF but weak rural RF.

Pixel 9 (G4) has improved rural RF.
good feedback. That is terrible that Google abandoned their customers who bought phones that compromised.

An unlocked bootloader is only good for those wanting to flash a custom ROM, which almost no one does these days. Plus, it reduces the phone's security and makes you more vulnerable to hacking.

Also, when the 7 years of security updates are up, it would make more sense to trade it for a newer Pixel rather than flashing a custom ROM and continuing using it. The battery would no longer hold its charge as good and would be barely usable.

Hmm...going to check but my dad needs a phone and he still calls me because he is clueless.

He has a Pixel 7 with a cracked screen but still functions. Well BB says $158 trade-in with cracked screen condition +$100 gift card +$100 for activation.
That means the phone is only about $150 + tax? This would be great for him.
