Hi. Let me tell you all where I am currently and what I'm wanting to do. So currently, I have a galaxy S4 on Sprint. Sprint still offers 2 year upgrades on very select phone. I'm not a person who needs to have the latest and greatest and I refuse to pay $600 for a phone or $30 a month for 24 months. It ain't happening. I use AA daily and I love it. I had some freezing problems/lag when I was running a Sense ROM. My phone is rooted and I put on CM13 a few weeks ago. It took about 10 times for me to get AA to connect with my phone but it finally did and the experience is flawless.
I want to upgrade my phone but I am scared that my new phone will stop working at some point due to an upgrade. I am thinking about getting a used Nexus 6p because it's pretty much stock android and I can root it and put on a different ROM if the stock one doesn't work. I also am thinking about switching to Metro PCS and getting a ZTE Zmax Pro which currently can't be rooted and has little to no development. Any body have any advice on phones to get or phones to stay away from?
On a side note, all of this has really made me think about going to an iphone. I should not have to worry this much about my phone working right out of the box with AA or worry about a future update breaking it.
