Not quite snapped, but I did lose the capacitive touch layer on my Nexus 5x sitting with it in my back pocket. Repaired it myself, during which I also managed to wreck the battery. ("Juicyfruit" smell... Definitely broke a cell.) So then I buy a new battery. Then the stupid thing bootloops a few months later, literally as I'm putting it in airplane mode leaving for a business trip. Not having a cell phone during a business trip is not fun at all.


The issue where they die randomly is IMO the only flaw with that phone.


I'd still be using mine otherwise. I went back to my Lumia 920 backup phone. Seven years old and the only thing wrong with it is no app updates in forever. I really wish the whole Windows Phone and Nokia partnership had a different ending.


The Pixel(1,2,...) is basically a heavier metal-frame Nexus 5X without the bug that afflicts Nexus 5Xs. Not a fan of the added weight but the OS is almost perfect.
