Just got a OPPO Reno5 for $0. Look great but yet to use it. I think it is a good deal. Any comments?

Yeah, please share which telco package for the $0 Oppo Reno5? Which model of the Reno5?

Shouldn't getting phone off the shelves cheaper than signing a plan?

Seems like international 5G can be enabled by rooting.. haiz I chose this phone because I am getting too old to play with rooting and custom roms.

Thanks all for the replies!

rooting seems quite easy on pixel 5a :https://www.naldotech.com/root-pixel-5a-5g-magisk/

once rooted, think need to follow this to unlock the 5G:
