the last patch might have been in 2016 but it still works great. it astonishes me why google decided to go away from the nexus brand when they were some of the best devices google had.

also those google play music and google+ icons. bring them back. </3

      Yes, it was the 6P, I got confused by the naming

      Another friend has the 5X and that one also had a lot of issues

      The 6p was amazing but got hit but a Qualcomm chip set flaw that also screwed a large chunk of Samsung and some others… The CPU connections for the big cores would break after a time under heat.

      Hit 3 of mine. I got a full refund on one (barely) and the others were refurbished and I expected the issue.

      That flaw aside it was the best device I’d had up until sudden death.

      The Nexus line was awesome in general. 7 and 6p were tops.
