Relatively lucky of you to have a 5X that lasted that long: mine succumbed long ago to the "boot loop" issue, apparently due to soldering issues endemic among 5X phones.
- kvgr 6y agoIt was the best phone I ever had... until the boot loop.
- ryaan_anthony 6y agoi keep buying them new/old stock for $100 on ebay.. they last a year or more -- just a little slow sometimes. i have one more in my desk drawer and i might upgrade after that one.
- distances 6y agoWhy wouldn't you just get the 3a? It's dirt cheap by now. Not $100 cheap, but a very modern device in comparison.
- duxup 6y agoYeah I got lucky. Every update ... i wondered if it would fall into the loop... but got lucky.
- ehsankia 6y agoMine (which I had given to my dad) lasted until 8 months ago until it finally started boot looping. Put a bootloop fix on it (which disables a few cores I think?) and it lasted a few month months, but then he got a 3a XL.
- bufferoverflow 6y agoYeah, we got 2 out of 3 Nexus 5X boot looped. They were great phones, but what a massive let down. And Google never paid us anything to correct the problem. That's why I'm never buying a Google branded phone.
- zerocrates 6y agoMine was well outside its warranty period and whatever Google was also offering, so I didn't even try to get a replacement or refund. My recollection is that the problem was an LG manufacturing defect that also affected some of their self-branded phones released around the same time... but yes, I don't know that I'd call Google a "stand behind their product" company in the way some are. I wouldn't really describe myself as upset with the lifetime of my 5X, but I definitely would have kept it longer. I shifted to the Nokia 6.1 which was fine although with its own quirks and issues, but the price was certainly right. I'm happy now with a Pixel 3a.
