It's time for my partner and I to upgrade our phones and am wondering what people think of the original Nexus5.
I don't need a cutting edge phone and like the idea
of running a generation behind. The problem with this strategy right
now is that means the Nexus6 which is probably physically a little
large. It's also not a whole lot cheaper than the base model Nexus5x
which goes on sale soon.
I like the idea of a Google device
to get a stock Android experience and to ensure updates are received in
a timely manner, or at all.
Nexus devices are also
well supported by the aftermarket ROM community if Google drops support,
though after running Cyanogen on my current HTC DesireHD for most of
its life due t lack of support, I'd rather official updates.
Is the Nexus5 still a reasonable phone, or does anyone have another suggestion?
