Yeah, that is why I always bought the Nexus devices from Google. Sometimes there are issues but anything major is fixed by the next patch.
- darklajid 11y agoI have only one Nexus device. A 7 (flo, the 'newer' one). I migrated that to CM quite some time ago. Google OTAs are now block-based, as far as I understand. Which means that I cannot change my system and apply the update afterwards. I have no problems of that sort with CM. So, while Nexus devices might be a good base line, I personally would still move away from official Google releases. That said, I agree that the experience is quite nice and it sure helps to get timely updates.
- fweespeech 11y agoFair enough :) Personally, I tend to worry about the fact CM sometimes bricks phone and would rather have the hassle free stock android.
- UnoriginalGuy 11y agoThe Nexus line is good. I would own one right now if Google had updated the Nexus 5 instead of releasing the Nexus 6 (too big) and letting the 5 rot. Keep in mind the 5 was released in Oct 2013, and did have a handful of issues at the time that they could have since fixed but haven't. Instead wound up with a Z3 (5.2" instead of 6"). 5.2-5.3" is about as big as I'll ever go with a phone, bigger and you feel it in your pocket (I've owned a Samsung Note that I felt was bigger than I'd like).
