I'm a bit like you. I have a nexus 6 and love it. Was so far ahead at the time. Screen better than many phones coming out today. I don't like the new narrow screen on most modern phonesThanks for all the replies everyone. I think I'll try and find somewhere that I can try it out in person to see how it feels in hand. It looks like very few places, if any, still sell it as they've all moved to the Pixel 3. To be honest, the Nexus 5 still does everything I want 90% of the time, it'd just be nice to have a better battery and camera. Not too fussed about major updates, I used to mess around with my phone rooting, installing all sorts of stuff but these days I just want one that works.
I did think about buying secondhand or a refurb but I'm a bit worried in case the battery has been heavily worn or it was returned due to issues with the screen etc.
I've got this case,
Google Pixel 2 XL Case Spigen... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07475TXJQ?
Which has served me well. Although I could never find a screen protector I got on with
I did have these
ScreenKnight Google Pixel 2 XL... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B076N7PPBJ?
But couldn't get on with the feel of it, it made my screen feel rubbery. And because of the curve on the phone it is difficult to get a tempered glass one.
Thanks I went for the Whitestone dome screen protector
I've gone for the ringke slim case. I've been through a number of cases but find this the best. It's thin, light and durable but also protects all corners.What's the best case & screen protector to get for this phone?
