    Before the pixel existed I owned a Google Nexus 5 4 which was manufactured by LG and to date that was the worst phone I’ve ever owned. I guess my point is it doesn’t matter who is manufacturing the hardware; if Google is involved it’s gonna be junk.

    Edit: it was a 4 not a 5 but either way it was such an awful experience I’ve never bought another piece of Google hardware since

      The Nexus 4 was a great phone in my opinion.

      Had it rooted and everything for about 6 years.

      I don’t agree. Many of the cheaper phones are pretty shit and barebones. I’ve had Samsung flagship phones for years, and they have never disappointed me. Friends and family have had the cheaper Samsung phones, and they have been pretty hit and miss. You just kinda get what you pay for. Wanna pay €200 for a phone? You get something that can barely turn on, that’s it.
