Which phone should I upgrade to ?
« on: April 20, 2022, 07:31:41 PM »
I have a old plan on sprint with  a 3g phone I don't use much, now they are offering me to upgrade to one of these before they close down their 3g neywork, all are free, which is recommended as I really haven't used any of them ?
Thanks.

Pixel 6 is likely worth the most for resale/trade-in though it has its quirks as a phone.

My Tapatalk notifications don't always work.

I got the same offer.
I pushed and they gave me the pixel 6 pro. OnePlus 9 pro was also available.
Not sure if these are available anymore.

I think he reviewed it again since.
I have it, and the only thing that might bother the average user is the slightly slower fingerprint reader.

S22 Ultra is an excellent phone.
+1
Although it's a shame it's missing the SD card slot.

I'm already on a replacement phone from them

I traveled international, took my pixel 6 over 15 minutes to connect to the network while my S20FE took just a minute

6 Pro was buggy from day 1 for me, though DW likes her 6.

No chance T-Mo is giving 3G users an S22 Ultra for free

Back to the list above, what would be the next choice after/besides the pixel ?

I would think OnePlus 9 should definitely be near the top of the list of those options

+1 on pixel 6, bought one when it launched, sold on eBay a few weeks ago.

Warm screen calibration, slow data, inability to connect to some networks, slow fingerprint, etc etc
