One thing to consider, trade ins with Samsung can be very challenging. Make sure you have picture and video evidence of the device's working condition before sending it in. Last time I traded a device in Samsung charged me the full price over a year later, claiming the device was not in good working condition. Luckily, I had evidence disproving the claim and only had to spend an hour on the phone with one of their CSRs.

Not as much better off as you'd think! $1900/36 = $52.79/mo subsidy. A similar plan to Experience Beyond with US Mobile would be Unlimited Premium for $32.50/mo. So $85.27/mo to get a similar deal on an MVNO.If you can go with a cheaper MVNO plan, then you can save some $$. But if you're comparing top plan postpaid to top plan MVNO, not a huge savings.Now, if you're going to keep your phone longer than 3 years (unlikely on a foldable due to the screen problems that tend to develop between months 12-24), that's different. T-mobile is happy to keep charging you full price, even after they've stopped chipping in with your monthly phone subsidy.
Um, you included a trade-in value from T-Mobile, but didn't include a trade-in value from Samsung, for the old device.
On Samsung if you're trading in a fold 6 it'll be $900 for the fold 8. If you're trading in a s24 ultra it'll be $1100 for the fold 8. It really throws the math to consider trade in value at T-Mobile but not at Samsung direct...

It kinda is..... If you walk away from it.... You have to pay the remainder of the $1900 which you would owe Tmobile. The breakup isn't going to be cheap.

Paying that price for the phone would be the same cost if you bought initially and went to a mvno. The difference here is if you stay even 1 month, they're covering 1/36 the cost of the phone for each month you stay.

If you need a $90 phone bill for 36 months that's $3200 for phone + service. You generally are better off with an MNVO + doing a trade+finance at Samsung.
What's MNVO?

No different than diminishing early termination fees.
Wall Street branding shell games don't work here. Especially when they are wrong from the outset.
