I had the same experience. If I remember correctly, when the phone first launched anyone who bought it directly from the Google Store got one free replacement no questions asked. It's still the best devices I've ever owned and with the AOSP Nougat release I find myself just saying "nope" whenever I look at newer devices with the thought of upgrading.
