Same here. They only reason that I upgraded to the nexus 5x from the nexus 5 was that the modem in the 5x supported additional LTE bands. If there's no signficiant changes in the modem hardware you're just paying more money for a slightly better version of the phone you already have.
- tigershark 8y agoYou went from the slowest and more bugged phone that I ever had to one that it’s even slightly slower... it’s not really a good upgrade choice to do after 3 years.
- ahelwer 8y agoYep, I just switched from the Nexus 5X to Moto X4. Nexus 5X only has 2 GB of RAM, which on recent versions of Android means apps are swapped out and shut down constantly. If you were browsing the internet and switched to a different app, you were guaranteed to have to reload the webpage from scratch if you didn't switch back to your browser within 5-10 seconds. Plus Snapchat was unusable due to camera lag and high memory requirements.
- asddddd 8y agoI'm still using a Nexus 4 with 2gb of RAM, running android 7. 6 was terrible performance, but it's been running well with 7; no issues with constant swapping or the like. The camera is absolutely atrocious, and the 8gb internal storage is really showing it's age, but it still runs everything really well for me - probably since I've never used apps like Facebook. The biggest issue so far has been a flash sector failure or a cosmic ray or something that forced me to wipe everything and reinstall from scratch. I would have upgraded it in the last year or two but I can't find a phone I really want, nearly everything produced these days is a much larger form factor.
