My Nexus 6 regularly ate micro-usb cables, even the good ones from Anker. Eventually even the port failed and it could only be charged wirelessly. So far failure rate on my Pixel 2 and Pixel 4 has been nearly zero and the only cables to fail are ones I believe I tripped over. Perhaps it has gotten better? If you're still using a 5x you might want to grab a 3a or 3b cheap for an upgrade.
- dmurray 7y agoCharging ports are often replaceable. I don't know about the Nexus but I paid €25 to have the charging port replaced on my Huawei phone, within an hour.
- technofiend 7y agoExcellent advice and I considered that, but the Nexus 6 had other problems that caused me to upgrade. Also the camera updates on the new phones were compelling.
