Do you have an alternate suggestion? I've got an old Samsung tablet that is only used these days for, er, certain kinds of web surfing and I'd love to update it with something. And I also have an old Samsung S5 (or 6, I could never remember the model number), and it is still running stock that I'd love to replace it with something (I really don't want to get a new phone as the one I have is mainly used as a GPS-driving device and texts). I've sort of suffered from paralysis of options to this point and never pulled the trigger on anything yet.
