Metro PCS - Major Changes

Well... I'm considering the Stylo 2 since it looks to be a simple upgrade from my now well-used ZTE Zmax. Anyone think that would be unwise?

Good idea.
And here's another alternative:
Best buy selling zmax 2 @$49 for AT&T, which you can unlock for free on AT&T website WITHOUT HAVING TO SIGN UP OR PAY ANYTHING.
If you need particulars, let me know.

PS Samsung a9 pro just passed fcc, I'm kinda waiting on that.

Do you think the A9 will be coming to metro?

I don't know.
But Metro gets a lot of Sammy stuff.
I hope we don't revisit V10 scenario, only for Tmo.
The other question is what the price would be...

TJayDroid · Jun 27, 2016

Well, the Stylo 2 Plus is officially up at Metro's site. No Instant Rebate; $70 mail-in rebate. $149 after all rebates. Currently available only in-store.

The only thing that interests me is Apple Pay.
I don't know what Samsung is thinking by limiting their Pay to Flagships.

Apple pay AND Android pay is basically the same thing. Samsung pay is better than both as it doesn't need an nfc terminal to use. All androids from flagships to low range if it has an nfc chip it has android pay.

That's exactly why I like Samsung Pay... but would've preferred Samsung didn't buy that company.
I whore a lot - bonuses, discounts, miles, whatever... I want it all.

They said that they are gonna open it up so that some mid rangers would have it too. Having other OEM's use it too was in the cards (at least thats why I got from them)

i feel like its the stock cable limiting the speed on a 2.0 charging brick? need to find a quality usb type c cable, along with a actual 2-3.0 brick. also i know like the nexus 5x the type c cord has the same type c plug on both ends. were as the zte its only on one end, maybe the regular usb end that plugs into the brick is slowing the speeds down?

Right on. It's on sale @ Kiss on the 125 St for $59, next to the $29 Android tablet with 1/2 GB ram.

horsecharles · Aug 26, 2016

And in my defense, I only found out AFTER posting... That's why there was no features followup.
I prolly should've deleted the post o_O

averagewonder · Aug 27, 2016

Lol $299. That's bull the same watch is on sale on Amazon and eBay for $30. The manager at one of the stores by me sold the one metro gave to them to wear for $20

Yeah it's definitely not a power house, and probably won't be able to unlock the boot loader. But, for the price, is be willing to get it for my daughter or son.

Thanks for the info.

horsecharles · Aug 30, 2016

And if Best Buy($29.99) is more convenient, you can price match.

I just got the ZTE zMax Pro for $50 getting a family plan deal. The wife was with Metro and I was with Tmo. I've had it a week today (Fri) and like it so far. It is pretty huge compared to my old 4.5" Moto G. But it have some pretty good specs.

I bought one myself looking for Android alternative. It's a great phone for $30, but Windows is still extremely lacking in apps. My ZMax Pro is going to my wife, it's just too big lol...

I decided to go back to BlackBerry after recently unearthing my old 8830 World Edition. I forgot how much I loved having a real keyboard, and they can take a beating too.

It'll fit better in wifey's purse.
A big phone does cause you to alter your life around it.
I dress up for it - clothing with cargo pockets.. skimpy w/ small pockets out.
I absent-mindedly stuck phone in rear jeans pocket and did quite a bit of damage.

I can't go back to a small keyboard, swyping the only way now.

And I'm really wishing for a screen even bigger than 6".0

I'll prolly switch over to the next Surface phone... to take the place of present phone n tablet n lappie.

Wow lol... I've found that phones bigger than 5" in display size hurt to use, guess I don't have the thumbs for it maybe? I keep longer thumbnails for cracking phone cases open, and they work well with a small BlackBerry keyboard, felt nice typing away on the old BB, like I never left it

Another reason for switching to smaller device is that I've lost nearly 90 lbs over the last year, and a ZMax with folio case doesn't really fit in my pockets anymore. I have to wear Dickies for my job.

But hey, just wait.... I'm sure somebody will put out a 6.5" smartphone soon enough. I tried holding my Nexus 7 to the side of my face, it feels almost as ridiculous as it looks

I can guarantee you that I will never buy anything bigger than a ZMax lol
