Any recommendations for best sub-$250 Android phone for T-mobile in the USA?

Note 20 Ultra is the best phone, yea?

the best phone is the one you have

at that price beggars cant be choosers lmao
but really anything's fine nowadays unless you want to game

at that budget clearly you don't prioritize your phone that much anyways so you prob have a separate desktop for gaming or something?

heh

Shit. how long does samsung take to ship out orders?
I feel like I'm going to regret not just driving over to my parents to use their costco membership and pay like extra to buy an S21 FE for the more transparent costco delivery

Mentioned it before, but I'm using an imported a52s on AT&T, here in the US. I got around the whitelist by calling into customer support and registering my IMEI as a regular a52. No issues so far and the coverage has felt better than my previous phone (dying BB Priv on its last legs).

I bought it used and the seller doesn't know the last email.

>seller doesn't know the last email.
lmao get yo money back, you bought a stolen phone

Yeah they have no reason to refund me
Also I'd rather have a new phone

>no reason to refund me
they literally sold you what is practically a broken phone, you're not able to use it, it might as well have come to you with a broken screen

dont tell me you bought without some sort of buyer protection

Yea, I have it :3

i literally just googled it and there's a solution already

I like my new S22 mostly but the battery is really fucking bad. Not sure if this is a deal breaker or not.

>they sold you a broken phone
You clearly don't know what you're talking about since I already called a repair place that said they could do it.

ok user, amazing that you had to go to a repair place for your non-broken phone LMAO

The battery on mine is good. 10h SOT from 85% to 15%.
