Is the Nexus 5 still worth it to buy as a phone in 2016? I just need a phone that doesn't lag while using and doesn't constantly kill apps/redraw the launcher as soon as you switch active apps.

I would be worried about the battery life desu. The phone already had a reputation for poor battery life when it was new, and by now any used one would probably have been through countless charges.

I bought one last November. I'm not a heavy phone use guy, but I like it. The battery lasts days when I don't use it to much. Can typically get away with one charge a week, though if I use it pretty heavily I can drain the battery in several hours.

What kind if battery life is expected from a new n5? I just need it to last during the day.

>>56543323
I don't understand.

>>56543376
Would you recommend it to a guy who just wants an inexpensive but smooth-running phone? Or have any suggestions for other phones?

It should probably be fine. People say the Nexus 5x battery is about the same but I have no problem with it in my normal day to day use

I'm that sort of guy, so yeah I think so. Don't have any other suggestions though, I don't pay attention to phones too much until I need one.

Nexus 5 here. Works good after 2 years. Battery isn't the greatest but keeping Bluetooth and location services off helps. I also have no gapps installed. I use a battery case and I can get through the day just fine. Go for it OP, but buy refurbished or install a new battery. I get about 4 to 5 hours SOT with the brightness low.

How much should I be looking to spend? I see some at a local store for $250 CAD (around $190 USD). Would I be overspending?

I've been thinking of getting a new phone since my moto g doesnt have enough ram(8GB) i have 32GB SSD card but its a bit of a chore to have to keep on transfering files to it many times a week. So i've been thinking of getting either a Nexus 6 or Redmi 3 Pro- both have 32GB and are around the same price. Any advice?

>>56542977
it's good. i still use a nexus 4 with cm13 and is still better than most devices.

>>56543829
What font is that?

there are better budget phones unless you're getting this for under 70£

No SD card slot and non-removable battery, and if you use it heavily you get about 5-6 hours per charge out of it. Camera is a bit crappy compared to my old Nexus S.
I'd still recommend it, everything is smooth and it just werks. Bought it last christmas and haven't regretted it.

>>56543829
What battery case do you have?

The ones that I found all had issues charging

Pixel and Pixel XL will be out in about a month.
That's what they decided to call the new Nexus phones.
