Just a counter point - I was going to recommend for him to get a Nexus 6, as a budget / value focused person I bought one new-in-box in September of last year, it's been a great phone. The battery is fine but not changeable easily.
My nexus 6 hasn't shown any slow downs etc.. I'm on 6.0.1 and using T mobile. You can pick them up now $260 refurbished or $330 old-new-in-box stock.
- knz 10y agoIt's a great phone when he lag isn't bad. It's particularly noticeable when using the camera. My wife had the same phone and same issues, but I also know two people with a 6 who do not have the issue.
- mszcz 10y agoCompletely different experience here. N6 worked fine when I bought it about a 1.5y ago, then, when updating, turned on phone encryption (can't be turned off) and it's been a painfully slow ride ever since. Camera's glitchy and veeery slow. It's been getting to the point where I'm on the brink of throwing it against a sidewalk at times ;)
- technofiend 10y agoThe Nexus 6 camera particularly in HDR mode is nearly unusable unless your battery is > 60% and battery optimization is turned off for the camera app. Otherwise forget it. My device easily takes 10-15 seconds per photo to do HDR rendering. And you may not take another photo until the render completes. And yet I can't make myself upgrade to a Pixel because it seems I'd just be trading one set of problems for another.
