Been a user of this device since it came out, and have owned all three color variants. The last device I used was the White one.

It's been my favorite Android phone since owning, even after using all of the Pixels. I still have a soft spot for the 5. It's simplistic and sturdy, plus it just looks good.

I've already replaced the digitizer/LCD, frame and charging ribbon/port. What I have coming next is a new white back cover, loud speaker and ear piece.

I plan on using it as a daily again.

Nexus 5 was a great device, and it still is. I bought mine about 3 months ago for about 500.000 IDR. It's fast and responsive. Unfortunately, official software support has ended years ago. However, it is still a great device for my usage pattern.

Have you ever replaced the battery?

Oh yea, battery replaced as well. BUT I just realized that it doesn't work on Verizon. So that sucks!
