RIP Nexus 5

The perfect ThinkPad companion is basically dead at this point.

>3yrs old
>shit battery
>can't upgrade internals whatsoever
>no more updates

I've migrated to a Droid Maxx but it's just not the same, Motorola is fucking up their lines too. Does anyone else feel like smartphones are turning to shit now? Any good obscure devices you prefer? Is hope lost?

>shit battery
This really was the worst part about the phone.
Switched to an LG G4 some time ago and I´d wish I could have it´s hardware in the nexus5´s case since the size was perfect.

buy an htc. you'll have some inspired shit
anyway, I know how N5 is great can replace it

Someone put a G2 battery in their Nexus and posted a guide to Reddit, but I feel like mine would blow up or suddenly die after a while with one

I recently bought one of these can some suggest a replacement that's in the same price range? The battery for this dies in 30 hours of being idle with 3 apps that connect to the internet that just get notifications.

Doesn't the old Nexus 5 still get updates for like another year?

If not just get a 5X and stop bitching.

Yfw 3 years ago we had phones like Nexus 5, Moto X, HTC M7 and OnePlus One.

Welcome to Android.

The only good smartphones left are from last year LG G4 and Moto X style/pure

Still use mine, still love it.

>no more updates
