I've had my little Nexus 5 since November 2013. It has mostly served me well, but lately it's been harder to ignore the troubles with it:
- the sensors inside are broken so I can no longer:
- rotate the screen to horizontal
- take photospheres, panoramas, lens blur photos
(when taking a horizontal photo I have to manually edit a rotation later)
- the battery is fairly "ok" still but could be better
- the mic sometimes makes my voice very quiet on the other end during speakerphone calls
- I'm constantly hovering at less than 750MB free space (which actually could be solved by deleting all the Google Photos on the device, but I'm stubborn with that (yes, I know they're saved online)).
Part of me wants to get the N5X (especially during the current sale), but:
- I keep reading accounts of the "stuttering lag" and whatnot that a number of users have encountered.
- Perhaps it will be too big for me (I haven't yet actually touched one, have just seen side by side photos).
- I'm currently unemployed so don't have tons of $ to toss around.
As one that likes to take photos, I would embrace the N5X camera (especially since I'd be able to take photospheres, etc. once again). I think I'm just looking for someone to push me over the edge. Help.
