  1. My wife has been on the A32 5G for a little over a month now, with no reported issues, at least thus far.  Not discounting Jeff's experience in any way, just offering a different perspective, and at least saying that, its possible you can get a lemon even with the best of brands.  Just ask anyone who's had a bad Honda for example.  End of the day, everything manufactured in some way/on some level still comes back to human error, and we're all capable of it.

    Here's hoping Jeff's replacement ends up being a different story. 🤞

    Yeah, doesn't look like it's available for the S21 yet.

    Same here, just tried checking again.  Saw an article last night (think it was SamMobile but can't remember 100% for sure) that said they'd finally pushed the June update to the USA though, so hopefully some of us at least will start seeing it in the next few days.  Supposed to patch the overheating issue for one thing in addition to the security patching (which, I ran into that the hard way over the weekend trying to capture some video while another file was uploading to Google Drive).

  3. @mikejeep - Curious to hear your thoughts on this device after using it for a bit, whenever you get the chance to chime in.  Both just general impressions of the device as well as whatever distinction you perhaps can provide in terms of RF performance against others better known devices, both 4G & 5G alike.

    That was the same window on my dad's S21, but got notice that it was going to ship last night, arrived here this afternoon. Hoping they get it out to you soon!

    Same here, was originally at order time slated to be 2-3 weeks out before even available (and mine's a 256gb version), next thing I know a shipment notification came in email later that night and it was on my doorstep the next day.

  5. Huh....yeah I just tried with my wife's LG G7 line and it didn't say anything about it or auto-equate out the ~$11+ monthly.  Particularly interested in doing this for her though because the charge port has gone bad and we've had to resort to wireless charging only until we can get her something else...I'd been kind of looking until this deal came up.

    @mikejeep Definitely post and give us your impressions with it after you've used it a few days, that will be helpful for everyone considering it too of course. 👍

    I went to the store to do one of the upgrades and they did say it was a company wide promo. If there are any other lines needing upgrades and are paid off, might be eligible. 

    Given the highest level device is an LG G7 (my wife's), and its not on the acceptable list, I don't think we'd be able to do it....but I suppose I could find and call a store and ask to be sure.

  7. Actually going back to my original post it was definitely a different promo.  The text came in Tuesday after Easter about it and it does explicitly say 50% off with eligible trade in.  And it was probably just targeted at my specific line too, my wife didn't get that text.

  8. Possibly....or maybe they just really only gave half credit for the G8X (keep in mind this is the base phone I have and not the dual screen btw, though the regular G8 didn't have a dual option anyway).   Without it being officially on the list of acceptable phones for the 'free' deal though its hard to complain I guess.

    They took an LG G8... G8X ought to have been enough. Although now that I look at the fine print, it doesn't list the G8X. Weird.

     

    Whatever calculation was done, it was done automatically by the system.  I checked 2 other lines and no change there (one was a G7).  So I suppose they just didn't publicize the G8X, though if they accept a regular G8 it would stand to reason they'd take a G8X too.  I doubt they'd credit anymore for a regular G8 than I got though.  I'd be curious to see what the system offers someone with a V60 5G.   

    I kind of wish I'd have been able to get at least an S21+ 256GB for half off, its a little hard adjusting to the size downgrade to 6.2, but now that I finally have a Supcase for the S21 I'm noticing the actual size differential isn't as large as it seems with no case at all - the thing felt tiny by comparison.

  10. Yeah the G8X wasn't worth enough for that level of credit for me.  The funny thing is, I've yet to see or get anything email or otherwise about turning the LG in as part of the deal though.   There was nothing about it whatsoever in the box the S21 came in certainly.
