We had 3 different Nexus 5X phones die via a bootloop. All bought from different vendors.

100% death rate.

And yes, I know there was a "fix" released last year. Didn't work for any of them.

Great cheap phones other than that. Really good cameras on them.

I went through 2 Nexus 5x's. Even when they weren't being bricked, they were laggy as hell. I'd constantly be waiting 5 seconds for actions to register.

I went from the Nexus 5 to Nexus 5x to pixel 1. They all feel like a newer version of the previous to me.

I moved from the Nexus 5 to the Motorola G series of phones. Cheap but not too fast.
