As a long time Nexus user (back to Nexus S), the clean OS and updates were always the selling points for me.
With Pixel now dropping the headphone jack, I'm starting to look elsewhere. Here's hoping I get some more life yet out of my 5X.
- pasbesoin 9y agoMake sure you are regularly backed up. Anecdote, but I bootlooped -- that's with quite gentle care. Friend bootlooped a couple of weeks later.
- VintageCool 9y agoMy 5X bootlooped, so I bought a Pixel. I want to go back to the 5X, that was the best phone I've ever had.
- Geeflow 9y agoSecond that. I bought three Nexus 5x for me and my family. Two of those bricked themselves without warning. Plus I keep reading these stories over and over again. Multiple anecdotes in the discussion to this article alone... Both got repaired (mainboard replaced) under warranty without issue. I'm still happy with the phone and haven't found anything comparable considering the price (270€ approx. 1 year after release), but you definitely need to have a solid backup strategy.
