I bought this phone a few months ago, I love it! I can't believe it is from 2013! I've installed Paranoid Android custom ROM on mine - Android 7.1.2, and its brilliant! The stock Android 6.0 was laggy, crashed a lot and kept restarting. This phone now does more than the Samsung I bought new last year, plus it no longer crashes at all, is super smooth and stable and surprisingly OK on battery life. Once this one no longer holds its charge (as I predict this will be its demise) I will definitely be getting another Nexus!

This phone ran for 4 years. Very good phone.
I did drop it once on the road about a year ago.
A few days ago the power button got stuck.
R.I.Pieces (as it would have been to expensive to fix)

4 years of heavy usage and ran the race very well till date!
I never dropped it & always had a case, believe it or not still with original screen cover ( with Nexus5 printed on it, though worn out now).
That's all till now.....
But unfortunately, I have started to experience random restarts, severe boot loops, rear camera and flash failure. This is probably due to hardware degeneration.

The oneplus 5 is a whole galaxy better than the nexus 5. LG has been known to have issues until 2016. The LG G6 was the first true flagship of LG since 2012 without any flaws.

I think one of the problems with the nexus 5 is that some devs still release games with Max graphics enabled on it and to be honest while it's still a great phone it can't handle these graphics as it overheats or empties the battery in record speed. For me it's a good spare phone although the in call volume as degraded over the years which was one of the factors that made me find a replacement.

AnonD-146330, 27 Aug 2017Yes, pixel is expensive and audio quality is not that good ... moreAfter using the HTC 10 for a couple of weeks I can say it definitely was the right choice. Battery is great, no lags despite filling storage up and performance is noticeably awesome.. I like the way I can Max the graphics in high end games and play them so smooth like they're in low graphics. Performance wise there shouldn't be any noticeable difference between this and the pixel as the pixel opted for lower CPU clock speed with its Snapdragon 821 . I'm really going to find it hard finding my next phone if all flagships are performing this well...although if the pixel 2 has audio to match this then I might just get one.. Miss the timely updates..🤣

After numerous problems with my Nexus 5, namely overheating to 95C Celsius, yup, you could basically boil an eg over that thing, constant shut downs and freezes. In mid game like clash royale it would simply reboot itself. Then 10 attempts of restoring my phone to original without shutting down the phone at the 10th i was successfull.
But Sim card wasn't recognized and Wifi signal was shit, always failing.
Phone shat down several times too.
So i decided it was tie to part ways and had to upgrade to a new one.
Namely a OnePlus 5, ordered it on the 4th/09/2017 and recieved it today, 2 days for a livery for Portugal, costs me 499.99€ and i don't regret it at all.
What an awesome phone.
Even tho i still love my nexus 5, i really do i had to upgrade because of the constant problems. One thing's for sure, i wouldn't upgrade if the phone was fully working without any issues. The nexus 5 is speedy as fak and it has everything what it needs to be a good phone.
Ofc the onelpus 5 is another level, so far, loving the new features

Finally upgraded. Got an HTC 10. Runs beautifully , nice battery life, better screen, and the audio is incredible as it uses separate dac for the headphones...i thought my nexus 5 was impressive in the headphones but HTC 10 takes it to another level. Not had any problems with bloatware after disabling. Like it says on a YouTube video, the best phone you're not buying. Still got my nexus 5 and OK the battery is poor but it always was and it's no worse than when I got it. Glad I didn't get the google pixel as I only paid £285 for this (unlocked version too) and the pixel would have cost £400+ and for that I would have worse audio, worse looks and worse screen on the 5inch version plus I think the 5incher only has 3gb ram so really I've saved money and got a better phone in my eyes. Yes the pixel has the 821 over the 820 but it's only marginally better.
