I've had 2 Nexus 5x and a Pixel 3a before switching to an iPhone. I can't believe the amount of bullshit I coped up with because I didn't know better.
Both Nexus died because of a well known boot loop issue that was never truly acknowledged by Google (support ghosted me twice). The Pixel died because the socket kinda broke and I couldn't charge it anymore.
All 3 phones became awfully slow after roughly one year of use.
In comparison I switched to an iPhone 2 years ago and it really is good as new: it doesn't feel slower, every single hardware or software feature works great, it's still a first class citizen when it comes to OS updates. As it goes I easily plan to keep it at least 2 to 3 more years. I've never kept an Android phone more than 2 years.
To be fair though the Nexus and Pixel were low end devices. Maybe my experience would have been better with higher end Androids.
- scruple 4y agoHad the same experience with 2 Nexus phones. My Nexus tablets were fine outside of... Every Google Nexus and Pixel device I've owned, going back longer than I can remember, had had sharp battery decline around 16-18 months with not-heavy but daily usage. I'm also looking at an iPhone as my next smartphone, and I've been on Android since the original G1. I've also had issues with Project Fi "support" in the last year or two despite the fact that I vastly prefer their pay as you go and international service.
