Attached are GeekBench scores that I ran on the phones I have/had. The 2024 Moto G Stylus has similar scores to the Samsung A54 5G. The 2025 Moto G Stylus has a faster process than the 2024 version, so it should be faster than the A54. I ordered the 2025 Stylus this morning. I will run GeekBench on it when I receive it, and post the scores.

Unfortunately, after Verizon has been relieved of its boundation to unlock devices within 60 days on Jan 20 2026, this is the easiest and cheapest way to buy a new device with decent specs that gets auto unlock (albeit after 365 days) without paying anything extra after the initial activation. From the carrier perspective it makes little sense selling the devices at steep discount without even breaking-even by making the customer pay the overly inflated telecom service, so its kind of a stretch expecting them to easily unlock the devices (within a short period of time like 60 days).
Having said that, this is slickdeals Smilie and here, one expects to get the best possible 'bang for the buck' on a given day, hence the deal. Happy to be corrected.

Would love to get this but waiting a year for unlock sucks, that is an unreasonably long wait time 😞 They really should change unlock policy back to 60 days (or less).

Two years of OS support and three years of security updates. It should eventually get Android 17.

Quote from kickerstarter :

They can't unless they back-date their policy. Their policy, dated August 11, 2025, (https://www.metrobyt-mobile.com/t...ock-policy) says:

"We unlock mobile devices that meet the following eligibility criteria free of charge:

The device must be purchased from Metro by T-Mobile.
The device must not be reported as lost, stolen or blocked.
Three hundred sixty-five (365) days must have passed since the device's activation date."

It goes by the activation date
I had bought two straight talk phones back when they were unlocked after 30 days/1 month service. During the first month of service, their policy was changed so that it took 60 days/2 months of service to unlock, even for phones already activated. Some people managed to complain and get them to abide by the old terms, a lot of people weren't as lucky.

I don't think the T‑Mobile offer is a good deal, and here's why. With T‑Mobile, the $50 plan ends up costing about $59–$60 once you include the usual $9–$10 in taxes and fees, and while the phone is "free," you're locked into that higher monthly cost. Meanwhile, the same Motorola phone is currently $300 plus tax on Lenovo.com, and US Mobile's Starter plan—available on T‑Mobile, AT&T, or Verizon—costs $270 per year and includes a $90 credit you can apply toward the phone. When you add everything up, the US Mobile option comes out to roughly $480 total, while the T‑Mobile option ends up around $708–$720 for the year. That means US Mobile saves you about $230–$240 overall while still giving you the flexibility to choose the network you prefer. This is just one example, and depending on your needs, other MVNOs may offer even better deals or additional perks.

Is this better or worse than a samsung 54a 5g?
CPU better on the Moto. Software and camera are better on Samsung A54 5G.

I assume once unlocked in a year, I'll be able to use it internationally, mainly in India with the local SIM card during my travel?
