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?
