Mine has fallen apart, sadly. I replaced it once, but a year ago I moved on to a more recent phone. This may have been a mistake. Still hoping for a proper successor to the nexus.

Nexus 5 representing.
I have a 16GB model with the original battery, a screen protector applied from day one and case. The screen protector is scratched but underneath that should be pristine. Power button still works but I wake the phone with the volume down quite often.
I dropped it a couple times and the back panel popped up a little at one of the corner but I snapped it back. Only visual defect with the device is the plastic above the volume buttons have a crack. Fairly common issue.
As for ROM I'm using an unofficial build of LineageOS 14.1 with March 5, 2019 security patch level because they discontinued the official ones and pulled the plug for our device along with a significant number of other phones and tablets. Dumb fucks did it just before build servers could spit out one last final build with February patches that fixes the critical PNG vulnerability.
I have nexmon firmware installed so I could use monitor mode with the built in BCM4339 wireless chip without the need of an OTG cable and some other USB dongle.
ROM is decent but has it's own downsides like losing GLONASS support. You can simply cannot get any locks so you can only rely on GPS. Not as accurate but usable. However there's some good fixes like the flashlight bug is gone. No more turning off after a while.
Wish someone could find and fix the bluetooth calling bug that affects all the BCM4339 devices that's a blocker for any official LineageOS 15.1 and 16.0 ROMs. The distortion needs to be gone because the Nexus 5 is my daily driver.
If I buy a new phone it might be a Pocophone F1 or some other cheap phone with top specs that has good community support. But I think I will wait for an affordable 5G phone. Will keep hammerhead for PostmarketOS though.

Nice info thanks. shame los dropped official support

If someone figures out why bluetooth has distortion during calls with a headset we might get 15.1 or even 16.0 that's just as good as current 14.1 builds.
One more thing. Battery life is alright if you are not a phoneaholic. With moderate use I can easily do 2-3 days. Charging port is not that grippy anymore.

No, I use a real phone.

Have you checked this rom out? maruos.com
They only support two devices so curious if they maybe fixed something for a rom to pass qa and gain official status on their site.
