The phone's 50MP camera features hands-free shooting and auto stabilization, and a "mirror view" with the selfie camera and cover screen. It has the same 4,300mAh battery as the Flip 7, but it has faster 45W charging.

There's also a $35 device activation fee. If you cancel your account, the bill credits will stop, and you'll need to pay the remaining balance. The bill credits will also end if you pay off your device early.Also: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 vs. Z Flip 8: I compared both models, and here's the one to buyThe Experience More plan starts at $85 a month with AutoPay, and offers a five-year price guarantee, and other perks like unlimited premium data and Netflix with ads included. The Experience Beyond plan starts at $100 a month with AutoPay, and also includes a Hulu subscription, along with other advantages. Compare both plans at T-Mobile.If you're planning to stick with T-Mobile and are interested in the Z Flip 8, this is a deal worth strongly considering.Find more T-Mobile dealsHow I rated this deal Again, if you want a Galaxy Z Flip 8 and are planning to stay on T-Mobile for at least two years, this is a deal worth taking advantage of to get the pricy new phone for far less than the sticker price.
