    Is it advisable to upgrade from Marshmallow to Nougat ?

    With nexus phones I've never had a problem going as far as they could as soon as I could. My only bad experience was with a Samsung S3 that was massively hindered by an OS update. For about 20 minutes of each hour the phone was almost completely unresponsive - four weeks of this pushed me to...

    Water and freeze test..

    That's very impressive for both phones, I appreciate the sammy is waterproof but I'd be surprised if the warranty covers being hacked out of block of ice after 10 hours.

    My 32Gb 5X is almost enough for me, with the option of completely offloading my 8-10GB of photos I'd be quite happy on 32GB. I haven't sprung for a pixel yet (waiting on reviews and my 5X is running fine) but with the full res cloud storage I'd be happy with 32GB. It depends on your usage...
