Most notably, the aforementioned S9 should produce far better quality photos than what any REVVL (or other lowest-cost device) can capture... then again, camera quality on cell phones isn't a priority for every buyer.
The REVVL 8 CPU+Memory specifications directly compare with something like the Samsung A36. However, the A36 also incorporates an AMOLED screen (something Samsung has recently implemented across the entire A-series line). Luckily, if getting an improved screen is your only concenr the REVVL 8 Pro has a comparable offer from TMO where any plan can get the REVVL 8 Pro for under $50. Unfortunately, the REVVL 8 Pro won't fix any of the issues with camera output.
However, the Pixel 9a is currently available for under $300 from TMO and the models qualifying for a $250 credit are pretty low-end (although said devices would have to be functioning):
Apple iPhone: 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus, X, XR, XS, XS Max, 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, 12 mini, 12, SE2, SE3
Samsung Galaxy: S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+, S7, S7 Edge, S7 Active, S7 edge duo, S8, S8+, S8 Active, S9, S9+, Note8, A14 5G, A15 5G, A21, A23, A32, A32 5G, A35, A51, A51 5G, A52, A52 5G, A53 5G, A54 5G, A71, A71 5G, Z Fold, Z Fold2, Z Flip, Z Flip 5G
OnePlus: 7 Pro 5G, 7T Pro, 8T, 8T+ 5G, 8, 8 Pro5G, 9 5G, 10T 5G
Google Pixel: 4, 4a, 4a 5G, 4XL, 5a 5G, 6a, 7a, 8a
LG: V60 ThinQ
Moto: razr 2024, razr 40 5G, razr 40 Ultra, Edge 5G 2022, Edge 5G 2023, Edge 5G 2024
Ultimately, if you had any ability to shop the Pixel 9a trade-in deal it would be the one to get for those who actually need a daily driver. For reasonable camera quality consider any most any reasonably recent model Pixel, iPhone, or Samsung Galaxy S-series.
About the biggest concern I have regarding these new deals is T-Mobile's new policy limiting pre-payment. Though I have previously run multiple device payments on a single line, I worry that the new policy limiting pre-payment may also hinder my future ability to run concurrent device upgrade promotions on the same line. Perhaps someone has had recent experience with concurrent device promos on a single line ever since TMO rolled out the prepayment restriction?
Good luck!

When I look on my account (Magenta Max 55 plan), it says that it's valid with any trade in, Also, you can get the Revvl 8 Pro for only $50 more, which I think would be a better deal for only $2 a month since it's got a better processor and 256gb. What's interesting is that these actually have a memory slot, so you can upgrade to 2TB, while you can't with the high-end Samsung phones.
At the same time, if a buyer had one of the minimal, functioning trade-ins available to qualify for the Pixel 9a at $50 I'd still recommend that phone as a proper daily driver over a REVVL phone (even the Pro). Although the trade-in requirements are higher, the out of pocket for the REVVL Pro vs. the 9a is the same and the result with the Pixel 9a is a phone with a top-tier camera (note that the 9a shares the camera with the current flagship Pixel 10), solid CPU/RAM/screen and long-term support from Google.
Good luck!

Personally, I am hoping that they will offer free upgrades on any plan when the Samsung S26 comes out, since I missed out on the S25 trying to decide whether to get the base or plus model.
Go with Metro if you like the tmobile network and get a free (or pay a small price for better specs) comparable phone that's unlocked after 1 year and pay less overall (even after costco gift card)
Personally, I am hoping that they will offer free upgrades on any plan when the Samsung S26 comes out, since I missed out on the S25 trying to decide whether to get the base or plus model.
I do see where the Samsung A17 has appeared as an alternative option for this generous promotional offer. Though the camera will suffer similarly poor comparisons to flagship models as with the REVVL series, the A17 does include a superior AMOLED screen (while retaining support for MicroSD storage).
As to the upcoming S26 release, I'd expect that TMO limits the best upgrade S26 offers at release to their higher tiers. The wider offers should normally come in a following quarter, typically in an effort by TMO to retain customers and meet quarterly growth goals. Any more generous offer will suggest tough times at TMO.
Good luck!
