Re: Bring back Nexus!
"So in essence nothing has changed except the quality of the devices."
And that they now don't have a midrange offering. I think that's why people still want a Nexus. The program really isn't that different other than a rebranding --except there's now no midprice. They're just confusing what the programs really mean.
If the Nexus 5X didn't have the famous bootloop-of-death issue, it would still be the killer phone. Quality control issues (which seem to have started with the 5X-6P and possibly continued) are the only thing that stopped me recently from buying a used one. Google now has one offering -you pay for the Porsche, or you buy nothing. Some of us really just wanted a Honda Civic; reliable, dependable, and a little bit of fun at a lower price point.
