I just came across this story and became sad after reading it.

I assumed that Google Nexus phones would be refreshed every two year once, but it seems another Nexus phones could be released within this year itself. [emoji22] [emoji22] [emoji22]

It seems the trend goes back even farther than that, the earliest Nexus devices were released in winter, at the start and end of 2010 respectively:
- Nexus One (HTC): January 5, 2010
- Nexus S (Samsung): December 16, 2010

Also the original Android phone was launched in the fall:
- HTC Dream: October 22, 2008
(The HTC Dream isn't really a Nexus, but I think it wanted to be one; it was Google branded, and it ran stock Android.)

But people where touting that Nexus 5 was replaced only after 2 years with 5x after two years.

But i was disappointed to see 5x to be replaced so soon.

I think you're looking at it wrong as "replacement". there's no reason to think that *just because* another 5" version of the Nexus phone will be released this year that the the 2015 5X will suddenly be obsolete.

It not at all unexpected either..pretty much all flagship phone brand lines are updated annually.

I have the 5x and I already want a new device. Come on it was only like 300+ on super Thursday. Then I can give this beauty to the Mrs and bye bye vzw. Fi is the only way to go.
