    I'm the exact opposite. I never use a case with any of my phones.

    Dont really understand the phone craze..id still be on my galaxy S4 if it wasn't stolen.. just paid off my LG G3.. and won't be upgrading to anything anytime soon.. there is really no difference from a phone 3-4 years ago and now.

    I think I'm going to keep my 6P till the end of the year when I see the new Nexus price drops or if my battery starts dying faster on me. Ever since I updated to the beta version of Nougat, my batter life is like a new phone again

    yeah... htc isn't known for their good deals. also there's rumors of carrier-branded nexuses. we all know how that turned out with the nexus 6 and it's price. :(

    That's why I went with Moto X that year. I did get the ZTE Zmax Pro through Metro PCS, that is a bargain of a device for $99. Still have my 6P currently activated but I'll switch to the ZTE Max as my in between phone if I end up getting the next Nexus.

    I just wish the Nexus have expandable memory, I can live without it, but it'll be a game changer for me when they support it.

    Well to you there might not be a difference but that's just what you need .. for others it might be a world of a difference.

    I'm pretty lucky and i get the latest and greatest every year for free through my work but there is a significant difference between the current flagships and a phone from 4 years ago.

    Has anyone bought an ZTE Axon 7? if you have what are your thoughts?
    Any complaints? I hear the camera is sub par, also I hear software is kind of terrible.
    Response's appreciated

    looks like the Nexus brand is dead.... :(
    http://www.theverge.com/2016/8/30/12712722/google-new-nexus-phones-brand-name-change

    I think it's dumb they are "adding" to the OS like other OEM's do with their own skins

    plus the rumored prices are steering me away from this years HTC flagship

    $599 for the Marlin one? I'd rather save $200 and go with the Axon 7 or hell, even the Blu Pure XR at $299 doesn't look bad

    Yeah I agree they shouldn't add anything to vanilla Android. That's what makes the Nexus so great. I just hope they know what they're doing.

    Agreed, my Nexus 5 just died due to a power button issue. I'm not considering paying premium money for a cell phone. Just not worth it regardless if you have the disposable income for one. I love the pure Android experience and will be hard for me to let it go, so I'm probably going to get the Nexus 6p after the price falls a little further.

    iphone 7 isn't worth getting, right?

    No headphone jack, nearly the same exact physical design.

    Pretty much the iphone 6s 2.0 to hold us over until the 10th year anniversary next year.

    Maybe I should just make the jump to Android. Need a new phone after losing my iphone 5s.
