It's an absurd situation. After starting what's arguably the most successful phone hardware program ever (Nexus), Google has stopped making Nexus phones. The only phone they're selling at all right now is the $650 Pixel 2 with a gigantic 6 inch screen and no headphone jack. And even at that price they're only guaranteeing 3 years of updates. After getting great and steadily improving hardware like Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 5X, we're now in a place where you can't get a high quality 5 inch phone with a simple rectangular display and headphone jack running vanilla Android at the $300 price point. Exactly the thing Nexus promised to provide. I fear the day that my 5X dies. I guess I'll end up with something like a Mi A1.
