Looking for a new phone, seeing how apparently its impossible to unlock a samsung galaxy note 4 from sprint (use it for at&t). Let me stop you apple lovers now, as far as i'm considered it will be a cold day in hell before I buy an apple. Heart rate monitor like the note 4 has is pretty much a requirement, Physical buttons are a dream (wish it was a requirement), removable battery is a dream (wish it was a requirement). Any suggetions?

If it is possible, although i doubt it exists, removable batter+heart rate monitor+physical buttons :o

drop the removable battery, get a note 5, s7 or galaxy s8+ smartwatch.

Older Sprint phones were CDMA only and dont have bands that would work on LTE for GSM networks.

There are very few new phones with removable batteries. These are being sacrificed for thinner phones + some level of water resistance. If you look at smaller manufacturers, you may be able to find a phone that has everything youre looking for.

get your imei number from your phone settings and ask sprint for a carrier unlock code?

iPhone 7 and an Apple Watch. I've got the older version of that setup, an iPhone 6 Plus and an Apple Watch 1st gen, and it's awesome! The Apple Watch especially is good at tracking fitness stats such as heart rate, calories burned, standing time, etc. And the battery lasts all day easily, 2 days of you don't use any special features much.
