Looking for some advice. I've had my Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Verizon since release day: December 15, 2011. Once Verizon stopped releasing OS updates for the GN, I unlocked and rooted and have happily used the Shiny ROM ever since.
Yesterday, cracks appeared and spread across my screen. It's time for a new device. But I have some limitations:
- I have a grandfathered unlimited data plan. I've been averaging 5 to 7 GB per month, so it is essential that I keep this plan. I am willing to pay full retail for a device to do so.
- I do not necessarily need to be able to unlock and root my device at this time, meaning the Samsung Galaxy S5 is not immediately eliminated. However:
- I use the SwitchPro WiFi Tether workaround daily. I anticipate this will not work on an S5 or any other current flagship device that has not been at least unlocked.
Given these parameters, what do you all think is my best option? Thanks in advance.
