I work at a phone store, it's the best phone we sell screen-wise, camera-wise, and battery-wise. I'm sure you've seen the price without a trade in, but you could also buy from a carrier with a multi-year payment plan (which also means your device would be carrier locked); that'll bring your price down like $250 from what I've seen. Check out the XDA Forum page for it and the TWRP website if you want to get into the really cool stuff. As far as downsides I'm not a huge fan of the pen because personally I'd lose it and in the stock software configuration it is full of AI shit. But bottom line it's a fantastic device if you can afford it.
Also in your experience working at a phone store, what’s your ability in kinda lowering the price for a few dollars like is this a thing?
Let’s say I wanted to trade in my phone but then said another carrier was offering me a lower deal, how likely is it that you can offer me a discount and is this even a possibility? I’m not saying like massive discounts but maybe 10$ off my bill a month. Or is it strict you pay what you pay and nothing less
Well, the one I work at is actually a corporate (carrier) phone store so we don't honor lower prices at competitors or anything like that. I just meant that it's cheaper to buy from a carrier because of the 2 or 3 years of payments that also guarantee you stay with the carrier and pay for data for that period of time, so they make their money that way. My store does offer up to $500 off with an eligible trade-in though
