Meh - not everyone can sit around and wait. And their line has been pretty good overall since V30 and up.
My concern is - what's with the "Sprint" + unlocked. Hopefully nothing is locked to Sprint
I wonder if this can function as a "Designed for FI" Google Fi device. Google FI uses both Sprint, US Mobile and Tmobile networks. Phoens with the right hardware can auto switch between those carriers to get the best signal and coverage. Right now, the Pixel models and two cheap Moto models work. Older LG phones are also supposed to work, but this one is not listed. 5G is supported via Sprint and Tmobile for devices that support it.
As a first gen 5G device from this manufacturer, it's a risky purchase to begin with. Changes to 5g specs may require not only firmware changes to the phone, but perhaps may require different hardware too or else just forcing you to live with incompatibilities. MAYBE take a chance on the v60.... MAYBE, but I'd pass on the 50 unless you don't prrimarilly care about 5g. The other specs are impressive. But personally... And don't laugh or hate due to misunderstood rumors... I have a Huawei Mate 9 now. Best phone I've owned. Tops Samsung. I am now considering a Mate P30 pro. Those are VERY impressive specs, price is coming down and the p30 series are IMMUNE to the Google play store block! Mainstream and universal 5g across the USA is still far enuff off to make me not care if my next phone has 5g right now. The P30 sure is pretty. Don't buy into the huawei rumors and misleading lies. I know about these things at levels that give me comfort in owning their consumer products.

I hate that there is a power button and Google Assistant button added to it. It was better when there was the power button as the fingerprint reader.
That said, it is still better than my cracked LG V30+ that I dropped.
I'm not in a 5G zone, I knew that when I bought the phone, so I can not comment on the speeds.
Overall, I'm happy for the price and performance.
Thank you!
