Similar situation here, I just upgraded after my Nexus 5 finally started dying (random reboots and only a few hours battery life). I considered the Pixel & Pixel 2, but the price made me think twice. More importantly, I wanted a headphone jack & wireless charging, which my Nexus 5 both had.
I ended up getting a Galaxy S8, since it has both the headphone jack & wireless & also a microSD slot. I love the hardware, and I'm mostly happy, though Bixby & the Samsung Apps are infuriating (protip: don't create a Samsung account!) Switching to Google Launcher has helped, but I wish the phone was pure Android.
At the old Nexus price points, the Samsung A5 [1] looks really nice. If it had wireless charging I probably would have bought it instead.

- StavrosK 9y agoHmm, interesting, thank you. My main problem with Samsung is the crapware, which pretty much guarantees that the phone will always be way behind on updates. Maybe Android One is a good alternative?
