hello,
it was probably ten years ago when I purchased my galaxy sky from walmart. I would keep it if I could update it. since I bought a topdon topscan obd2 automotive diagnostic scan tool that connects to your phone via bluetooth, it looks like I will have to purchase another phone to use it. the scan tool requires above android 6. the galaxy sky has also had ongoing working issues. for no reason it will be 'searching for service' and I have to go through a ritual to get service working again. it would be great if I could download the updates with my computer and transfer them to the phone and install them, but all my research says it's not possible.
I am looking at the samsung Xcover Pro SM-G715U1, but I am willing to hear other suggestions. here are the features that are important to me:
1. straight talk $35/mo deal. that's what I pay currently. I would like to just switch over. I know you guys have no control over this, but may have experience with this and can say 'you can definitely do that'.
2. replaceable battery. this phone supposedly has a removable battery. to each their own, but this is something I will have.
3. 4g service. from what I read, it's going to be around for a while and it's good enough for me.
I just thought it would be a good idea to consult with someone who has alot more experience and knowledge than I've got. it's been so long since I bought a new phone.
thanks
