What SOT are people getting on Lollipop?

I had this concern, but have bought a new one from a HK/UK based electronics company, the stock was shipped from UK on Friday, expecting to to arrive Tuesday.
I'll post again to confirm it's a new one on Tuesday.
and camera!. Roll on N5 (2015) with Android M

They need to sort out the naming scheme tho.
When I bought my N5, I thought it was the fith Nexus. The Nexus 6 being the 6th. No of course it's the size that dictates if it's N5 or N6.
But this is confusing.
A phone with the name Nexus 5 2015 is not a good naming scheme.

On a different note, I reckon what Google are going is 5 inch device one year, 6 inch device the next.

Personally I find that 6 inches is just a bit too big for a comfortably held mobile phone, and (having also tried a 5.5" OPO), I reckon that 5 inches is about right... for me anyway!

What were you doing to see the memory leak? I must be either used to my previous phone and that having leaks as well, or I just dont get the leaks that everyone says exist on 5.1.0?

Leave your phone on for a few days and it will gradually slow down.
Soldato
sideloaded 5.1.1 earlier, ran like a dog for 20 mins after and now it's ok ... hopefully wont need to keep rebooting every 3 days
Anything else of significance in the update?

Dang, my uptime is currently at 286:14:38. Thats currently just over 11 days or so, and it still feels ok. I guess I don't use my phone in the same way as you do.
I must be lucky!
Soldato
Count yourself lucky then, anything beyond 3 days and I could feel it getting sluggish
Soldato
I never suffer from it either. Can go for weeks without restarting and mine still feels as sharp as the day it came.

mine gets sluggish after a few days but it can change, its longer some time and i can go a week or so some times less, i guess it depends on how much the sluggishness bugs me.
Soldato
Get 5.1.1 slapped on it then
Soldato
Mine has always slowed down after a few days, light use only.ets see how 5.1.1 goes...

Is it worth upgrading from the Nexus 4? There are no new phones want, they're getting too big, but I do fancy a new phone and the 4 has been an excellent phone.
The nexus 5 over the 4 is a nice upgrade, even now. I would say wait BUT that could be a an easy way to wait a long time. I do miss the nexus 4, but if I were to be honest, I am personally getting sick of the nexus 5. That's just me, but meh.
