Note 5.... On AT&T.. It's a great phone but it stutters and I've had it freeze on me a couple times and that's after debloating and tweaking plus I'll never see root and this will be my first Nexus phone... I just want a smooth experience without carrier modifications and fast updates as well as an amazing dev community.. Also the battery life is not that good and the ram management is pretty terrible.

Nexus 5

-After 2 years the upgrade itch needs to be scratched

-Android M is almost certainly the last major OS update for the N5

-The assurance of OS updates that is exclusive to Nexus devices is a must for me considering the messed-up/uncertain state of future OS updates for all other devices

-Battery life has never been great with the smallish battery in the N5, and it will only continue to degrade as it ages

-The more premium build-quality is attractive for the price

-Fingerprint reader will replace my pattern lock and allow easier access to my password manager program

-Better camera(s) with cool new features like 240fps

I really have loved my Nexus 5, as it has been the best phone I have owned to date. I hope the 6p can equal or better that experience.

I'm technically upgrading from a Moto X Pure Edition, but I'll just be returning it. Not impressed. Nexus 6 before that and Nexus 5 before that. Oh yeah, Nexus 4 before that. Did I mention I had the Galaxy Nexus before that? And the Nexus S before that? Unfortunately I never had a Nexus One though.

I'm upgrading because I get the new Nexus every year and also because project Fi gave me 128gb N6P for $27 a month no interest haha!

BTW, OP, I still have a N5. It's still a great little phone and you mentioned upgrading because of battery life. Android 6.0 had really made the N5 shine in that area. Night and day. Have you got the ota or flashed the factory images yet? Do it man! U could honestly see someone getting 2 days battery life on it now. I haven't had my Sim in mine, but it's been off the charger since Monday and still at 60% on Thursday night.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ak47nerd:
I'm upgrading to the 6P from the Nexus 6 (technically a Nexus 5, but it's a placeholder). I've been a fan of a pure and stock Android experience ever since I sold my iPhone 5 for the Nexus 5 back in 2013.

I had a Galaxy S5 and S6 temporarily (just to play around, and at separate times), and I immediately gave up on them after I got tired of disabling apps I didn't need one-by-one. Both were laggy to me (the S6 was less laggy), and TouchWiz didn't look aesthetically pleasing to me compared to stock Android. The settings was pretty confusing for me (so many options!!!!!!), and it was a mission for me if I wanted to flash a Custom ROM onto it (flashing ROMs on Google devices is a breeze). There's many more, but I can't be bothered to list them.

October 28th-29th, please come faster!!!!!

Upgrading from a Samsung Note 4. Never really liked it at all, thought it just wasn't a smooth running phone. May have been the touchwiz that turned me off and not getting root was also a big let down. Hopefully this will be a more exciting phone!

Upgrading from a OnePlus 2. Phone gets unbelievably hot just booting into TWRP and backing up, let alone installing a custom rom. Also it took almost a year for the development of the One to hit its stride and I don't want to wait that long for it again. Plus the camera on the 2 is not as great as I'd hoped
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
The OP2 and N6P both use the 810 so they'll both get as hot as each other! In fact the 6P being QHD will probably get hotter as the 810 will have to work harder to push the extra pixels.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ylexot:
The N6P uses a newer version of the 810. It's not supposed to have the heat problems.

6s wins in the battery department.

Performance on the S6 (with the latest update) was pretty much at par with the 6s (granted iOS9 is still quite buggy) and camera wise.. the S6 takes more saturated pictures but both honestly look really nice. I'd say they're about the same.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warplane95:
Pretty sure aluminium is a big reason why the 6p have the 810 and the 5x have the 808

All the device that have trouble with the 810 are made in plastic (one plus, galaxy s6, lg g4). Pretty sure we will see a little heat problem with the lumia 950xl.

The Galaxy S6 uses Samsungs own Exynos processor and doesn't have any heat problems and the G4 uses the 808. The new Lumia is using their own liquid cooling system to try and cool the 810.

Upgrading from 4 years old Xperia V :D

I bought my Xperia V from local store. When I came back home, it was 9 P.M.

I was googling around for what some cool apps and games are available for my device, I accidentally found CyanogenMod, started flashing process, installed apps and it was 6 A.M.

I went sleep and woke up around 1 P.M. ( I was student and it was weekend :p )

I used phone for couple of hours.

Battery was worth than Sony's stock rom, camera quality was worse than stock rom.

It didn't had those X-Loud and X-Reality stuff.

But I felt in love with AOSP and decided to stay on it.

For 4 years I'm running latest Android version. I tried all of available roms but now this device can't handle Lollipop well, so I'm upgrading.

Main reasons to upgrade : More RAM for multi tasking, Powerful CPU, And better battery,

Very main reason to upgrade : The best developers community, found nowhere else! ;)
