As someone who purchased a Galaxy S4, I'll _never_ purchase another Google phone. The entire reason I purchased a google phone was to avoid the lack of updates, like I had when I was at the whim of Motorola with my Droid2. I was stuck on 2.3 and never saw an upgrade in the time I owned the phone. I figured that Google would be a better actor and actual push updates, but boy was I in for a wild ride. When I saw that 5.0 had been pushed, I upgraded, thinking that Google had vetted the release. Instead what I had was wifi that never stayed connected and seg faults ALL over the place in virtually every app that I used on a regular basis, including apps developed by Google (hangouts, photos [which were trapped on the phone unless I wanted to connect external and download them], my SMS app, WeChat, Strava, Kindle ect). They broke my phone, no way around it. It was miserable and I stuck with it, because I paid for a premium device and wasn't about to go blow another $650 on another device. Three weeks ago I got the 5.1 upgrade, just shy of a year after it was released. I'm now a firm believer of the shit phone. https://medium.com/matter/shitphone-a-love-story-a44e66434807 https://medium.com/matter/shitphone-a-love-story-a44e6643480... Buyer beware.
