Anyone using/used this bad boy?
I can get one for very cheap and I want to use it as a temporary phone until I buy something legit, but every review of this phone says it has battery problems/bootloop. The battery thing I can fix, I've replaced countless "non removable" batteries, but the bootloop thing kinda scares me. I didn't do a lot of research but what I understand is that, if you get a bootloop, the only way to fix it is to downgrade the android version and disable half the cores.
Now, I'm not sure how big of a problem this really is, what % of the phones are actually affected. Maybe it's just confirmation bias.

I loved it. Had two of them, both died due to shitty batteries. Never had a boot loop issue. If your that worried get something else.

Also, the phone is running 8.1.0, so if it survived this far, it will work for a little more
right?

i had it liked it had a good camera i only dont have it anymore cus it fell on a rock, didnt have battery or bootloop problems even had it rooted

my girlfriend's 6p just started bootlooping about a month ago. she was just using some social media apps on a stock rom when it decided to shit the bed. the bootloader was locked and we couldn't get it to start up again by heating/cooling the battery. bricked and 6 months out of the warranty. i do not recommend.

No because I still use my Nexus 5.

Get the Motorola Nexus 6, it's built like a tank and will literally last forever.

Of my sample size of two phones, both were affected by the battery issues. One not too terribly, dying at about 5-15%, the other very severely, at >75%. The latter also had the bootloop problem.

I've had two, first one was amazing and died by getting lost at the beach when I was pissed. Second one only got replaced to buy a Pixel 2. Highly recommend them but most that are still around these days probably are close to dying.

I just replaced my battery not long ago, massive fucking pain in the ass. If you're going to do it, make sure you have one of those suction-cup pliers-things, it's dammed impossible to remove the screen without one.

Aside from that, great phone. CPU is a bit on the slow side, and it has locked up on me before, but for the pricetag? It's not bad at all.
