The worst Nexus 5 in the history of Nexus's

So here's my story.

December 2013, i bought my Nexus 5.

30 minutes in, a bunch of pixels died, and sadly i have no warranty.

After 2 weeks, i somehow scratched the Gorilla Glass 3, no idea how, but it wasnt so bad.

After 2 months, my friend noticed there was a crack near the sim tray.

After 8 more months, i found 2 more cracks, another one near the sim tray, and one near the 3.5mm port.

And now, 9 months later, while it was sitting in my front pocket.....

And no, i didn't drop it. I haven't actually dropped it, like never.

And the cracks.

And this is how it looks when on.

All photos were taken with Canon T3i and a lack of photography skills. Also cropped so you can see whats going on.

 

And now the question. What phone should I get?

I don't always have time to study, but when I do, I don't.

I call bullshit on you not dropping it.

I have no need to lie about that. It was in my pocket, probably got too much pressure on some point and cracked.

I don't always have time to study, but when I do, I don't.

One Plus One if you can get hold of one, or wait for the next nexus phone.

They dont ship to Latvia, and the new Nexus isnt anywhere near release :(

What the motherfuck did you do to that device? Mine is in pristine condition, really. And I've dropped mine 3 times, 2/3 face down, no case.

I would go for the HTC One right now, on of the best phones right now IMO (or the M8 version)

iPhone, any iPhone.

Both of my parents have 4s, and well,... they are slow shits. Screen for ants. Even the newer ones, still screen for ants. I'd rather spend less for an htc one m8 than a more expensive 5s.

It looks like the phone has been bent to get those cracks.

 

Maybe a HTC One Max or One M7. Still great phones and are cheap now that they're older.

it could have had a replaced glass/lcd, and the glass being not as good as the original. it is common to for ebay users to sell fixed phones.

Not sure. It was 2 weeks since release and it was a reputable seller.
