A:AnswerIt's very important which standard does support cell phone.
Verizon and Sprint work only with cell phones which support CDMA.
Metro PSC it's a sub-network of T-Mobile. T-Mobile, AT&T, and some others use GSM.
This device (Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+) support both standards as GSM as CDMA. It means that it will work with any carrier.
On the product page, find Carrier Compatibility and you will see T-Mobile on the list. Metro PCS use network of T-Moble.
Carrier Compatibility: AT&T, Consumer Cellular, Cricket, H2O Wireless, Net10, Republic Wireless, Simple Mobile, Sprint, T-Mobile, TRACFONE, US Cellular, Verizon.
A:AnswerPeople are salty about the S7 not getting updates. Also, there are two main advantages to the unlocked version:
1) Unlocked phones can be used and migrated to any carrier with absolutely no hassle (put the SIM card in and it'll work)
2) The phone has no carrier bloat. You won't see the AT&T or Verizon apps on it or any of the other carrier's apps
A:AnswerOnly Carriers give the option to pay a certain amount a month. The only financing option will be with a best buy credit card or one of your own
A:AnswerYes, Samsung Pay works just fine.
Some downsides of getting an Unlocked model is that some carrier-specific features might not work such as VoLTE, carrier visual voicemail, and Wifi calling.
A:AnswerNot to sound utterly useless, but it is all a matter of preference. I would personally recommend going to your local best buy and taking a look/feel at their floor model to make your choice. As the only bonuses of the S8+ over the S8 are a bigger screen and a slightly bigger battery. Which is best, depends on your preference on size and how much you need that slightly bigger battery. That being said I love my S8+. Sorry if I wasn't much help.
A:AnswerThere is 4 inches of difference in size, the S8+ is larger and has a better infinity screen view, the ability to read emails, text messages and watch videos is larger and you get to see everything in its entirety!! It really depends on what your needs/wants are...both phones have the same software, memory and speed processors its just one is longer than the other.
A:AnswerGood afternoon, Jevauhn. Thank you for your interest in our product. This device is the U.S. unlocked model using the Qualcomm chipset and is compatible with GSM and CDMA networks. We hope that you find this information useful. Thank you for your time!
A:AnswerCompatible with CDMA and GSM carriers, including Verizon Wireless, Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile
Also compatible with prepaid SIM Kits, including Verizon Wireless Prepaid, Cricket Wireless, Tracfone, Net10, H2O, GoPhone and Simple Mobile.
A:AnswerYes. Even with a glass screen protector on top of the screen, the screen is still very visible. This was a definite improvement from my Galaxy S7 Edge with a TGSP.
