Is this the end of Android fragmentation?

Really? so for a time there was no Nexus device to be purchased? that's weird.

If you don't want to wait on your carrier, get something from the Nexus line. As I understand it, the Google devices are first in line for updates.
I really really enjoyed my Nexus5 and would still have it were it not broken due to my own stupidity.
Now I have a Samsung Note5 and I'm back to running Android 5.1.1 instead of 6.0.1 which I had for months prior.
why didn't you get another Nexus?
Nexus 6P wasn't out when I broke the screen on my 5.
Se you went to a Samsung instead of buying another 5? just wondering why?
They stopped selling the 5.
The 5 was cannibalizing the sales of a LOT of the newer phones and our "big 3" all ceased buying it.

No they had the 6, but it was about $300 more than the 5 was.
The 16GB 5 was only $350.

aka "free to me" and specs were really solid still (they hold up well today even)

I'm still using mine. I noticed it's getting a tiny bit slower though. Plus it's been through a lot ha.

@johnhooks mine still worked with the outer plastic broken in 4 spots around the edge, big chunks out of the back cover and the back cover peeling up at two corners. The screen shattering was the coup de grâce.
Edit: buy a case people, they suck but they pay off

I have a few chips taken out of the edges/corners. All of the letters have come out of the back haha.

I have this one, but it ended up being too big. You can get an extended battery to put in it (I have it but it charging takes forever with it).

I had that case for my LG G3. Loved it.

@johnhooks I never put a condom on mine as I like wireless charging a lot. Now I have a slim hard plastic shell on the note5, no regrets.

Ya wireless charging/NFS payments definitely don't work in it.
-
NFS payments? I had no idea. We've been doing iSCSI transactions all of this time.

The note5 does with the super charger (9v usb one) and their slick higher amperage wireless charger. The 9v gives it enough range to punch through the case. Gets real hot so I only suggest it for top ups (60% or more to full)

Up here we're demo'ing XFS contactless with RA one-dee Five encryption
It automagically backs up the transaction record so you don't need backups.

On a side note I used my phone for an NFC payment at Subway the other day. You would have thought I had cockroaches coming out of my eyes. The girl stared at me and said "I didn't know you could do that!! How does that work!!??"
We live in a very different area haha.

Around here people are still complaining about how the chip + signature stuff is too hard.
