The nexus 5 would be a wonderful update, especially due to the fact I have been looking for a new phone for a while now, and now I might have a chance!
I never thought I'd say this, but I want this because the 6P is TOO BIG! I love NEXUS and all of its pure vanilla goodness, but even with my aging eyesite, I'll trade the 6P's enormous screen for the 5X to fit in my hand/pocket better. That, and the sweet, gooey Marshmallow goodness of it all!!
I started out with an HTC Inspire 4G , which went through several ROMs as I was a flashaholic . When it died and I had my sister's cracked T-Mo S3 , I hadn't yet rooted it before it died (Pixels leaked after a drop) . Then I got a Galaxy S4 from AT&T which was what I was supposed to be on as that's what my family plan is on . The phone was locked down tightly so I could only get root and not a bootloader unlock . I couldn't flash anything other than TouchWiz ROMs . That hurt . Then afterwards , the screen (not the glass) randomly shattered without a single drop . It remains unknown why , but then it was replaced by my current Galaxy S5 . I hadn't had enough time with my S4 to know that all of AT&T's phones except HTC and Nexus devices couldn't be bootloader unlocked/rooted . With my current S5 I once again have only root and super slow updates . I want my first Nexus because it's been nearly 3 years that I haven't had a purely stock Android experience (via custom ROMs) . I miss it so badly , as well as flashing ROMs . I'm a pretty heavy power user , I like to have my device as my device . And right now , as I'm stuck with this S5 , I just want to have Nexus . This is why I want the Nexus 5X .
I want the Nexus 5X because of the mobile phone that I have actually, i want the Nexus because of the design, i want the Nexus because of the very good camera it has and i want the Nexus because it has a unique design that i like it.

The last Nexus I owned was the Nexus 4 and I absolutely loved it. Since that time, I have decide to persue my dream of acting and film making so money has been extremely tight for me and I haven't been able to afford many new phones. I really want to go back to the Nexus line but I couldn't afford the N5 at the time and the N6 was way to big and too expensive as well. Anyone who has ever been in this business or has tried to follow their dreams knows that it makes money very tight. I can't really stand any other manufacturers skin and having the first updates straight from Google made he Nexus line a no-brainer. I'd love to be able to go back to it. Since I need my phone for my job, having a phone that works And that is a joy to use is amazing.
'Cause otherwise I will still be stuck using the first ZTE Blade (it is dying on me, touch screen is iffy, battery is going, camera is rubbish), but I'm still holding on.

I want to know what it's like to feel Vanilla Android plus you can't get a Nexus directly in African Countries 
(actually, now that I think about it, we have no "almost Vanilla" Android devices down here at all) I can't order a Nexus cause my Mum does not like Online shopping.
