He has nothing bad to say about the phone and it's the same price as last year, plus a 512gb of storage option.

No Verizon support again this year.....I'm not a fan of buying phones that limit my carrier options.

But if you don't care about that, this phone looks GREAT. I always see people complain about a lack of small phone options.....put your money where your mouth is!

Depends on how you look at it. Im not a fan of carriers that limit my phone options. Thats why I ditched Verizon years ago.

Doesn't limit me THAT much, pretty much all Samsung phones sold in the US have fun Verizon support. Sometimes Verizon is the best option, it depends entirely on where you live and work.

Outside of Samsung Google and Apple it limits you quite a bit.

Right, and people buy more of those phones than other brands....

yeah, that sucks, especially when Sony supports all three in some way and they barely sell any phones here.

Verizon is one of the worse carriers out there right now. AT&T is honestly one of the best due to having FirstNet, they have one of the widest swathes of coverage.

I don't disagree that Verizon has gotten worse BUT it really depends on where you live, and where you work. I've switched carriers quite often when moving apartments or jobs, and I like having the flexibility to do that.

Verizon was what I was on for all of High School and College. Then I got on the plan my In-Laws had, which was AT&T. It was like night and day for coverage.
