Trade in Value from an older Pixel to a new Pixel is insanely high right now

I'm sure others have noticed this, but Google is offering insanely high trade in values on older Pixel phones right now on top of Black Friday discounting. My wife traded her 3a for a 6a and got a $200 credit for her old phone. I traded my 4a for a 7 and got a $300 credit which is insanely high.

I bought my 4a for $350- so a $300 buy back after 2 years use is nuts. It's only going to cost me $200 to upgrade to the 7.

I'm planning on staying on Pixel phones from now on in hopes that Google cont...

I am yet another owner of the Samsung W2019, a Chinese exclusive Android Flip Phone

and it is way better than what they had going with the Z Flip, like c'mon, you can't just make the screen fold-able and call it a "flip phone", doesn't work like that, a real flip phone has a physical working T9 keyboard!!!

also DISCLAIMER, not associated with Samsung China in any way, this is purely my own review of this very rare smartphone. I found a listing on ebay, and spent about $2000 to buy this phone, I am enjoying it so far, and would say it is worth the price.

Here are some pictures...
