Wasn't much satisfied with it back then, mainly due to lack of true multi-touch and lack of space for apps. And i don't much want HTC again.

                      The sensor is beyond fantastic, what's actually wrong about Sony phones is their terrible camera software. The Xperia Z5 has the best camera sensor their is, but the image processing software just makes the photos look bad.

                      But if Sony is making the Nexus phone, the camera is no problem as the entire Android software is based on stock android, meaning that Sony has no control of the camera app.

                      With that being said, SONY XPERIA NEXUS FTW!!!

Either way, the fact remains Sony is the biggest supplier of lenses to most OEM's as previously listed, we are not talking primarily about Sony's owns phone but providing the lens to HTC (rumoured) to produce the next Nexus and Sony's phones take very decent pictures in my experience. Oh, by the way, there is a reason for DSLRs so would suggest if anyone wants picture perfect photos, they might want to invest in one of those! For the record, proud owner of the Nexus 6P here with Sony lens in situ...!

                                  HTC should not be the manufacturer of next nexus. They are extremely overpriced. Sony should be the right choice.

                                        only one nexus was the best and it was first Nexus One witch was produced by HTC
                                        all other exus phones was shame.

                                        hope this time HTC can make best nexus ever again.
