    It's just the (to me any way) stupid amount of money that they want for one then that stands in my way. Maybe the old Nexus 5 concept was too cheap for it to last.

      +1 when my iPhone broke the cheapest solution was a second hand nexus 6p. That will keep me going to the iPhone 8 arrives.

        Nexus 5 was where the cheap model started to fall apart. N4 was amazing value for the spec, N5 was good but not really worth upgrading for from the N4.

        N6 was a step change away from that model though. And I'm now having more issues with my N6P than any other phone - drops from 15% battery to 0% in seconds (known issue) and yesterday it spent 90 minutes rebooting constantly.

        With the S8 delayed and the OnePlus 3T not being in stock for the 128gb model I might just go back to the OnePlus 2 and wait.

          Motorola makes the Moto android phones which are cheap, and made the Nexus 6. As the Nexus 6 is a phablet but the Moto phones aren't they probably wanted to ensure there was a market for their own cheaper Moto phones that didn't overlap.

          As Google partners with a different manufacturer with each handset release once you have started to go down that avenue of more expensive handsets you are going to continue if it is successful.

          Having had a Moto G for a few months I found the bloatware on that far less annoying than when I had a Samsung. My only issue was the Moto phone was under powered.
