I'm fairly tech savvy, but for whatever reason I have absolutely no idea what the savvy way of buying a new smart phone is. I'm on a verizon plan with my partner, with an employer discount, so I want to stick with that. And I'm an android guy, so no Apple suggestions please. I just broke a Pixel 3a (no insurance, past warranty etc) and I liked that phone so something like that would be fine.

I don't want to spend 20 minutes in a small verizon store with other people (I'm not vacc'ed yet).

What's my next move... If I order one online is it easy to transfer it over? Is Costco a good option? TIA
