I'm pretty sad. I've had four Nexuses, a Galaxy S and an iPhone and this is probably my favourite. It's camera-problems are well-known, but I really do think it's the best-designed phone on the market today.
Some high notes:
- the notch predates the iPhone X and looks even better because it's so small. The one on the X is so large, they may as well have not bothered.
- The glass-ceramic-titanium is slippery, but a joy to behold. I love the heavy, blocky feel and love idly flipping it around in my hand (I guess I don't need a fidget spinner). The flat sides also have the advantage letting you leave it straight-up on it's sides (ie for camera shots) while simultaneously being rounded enough to be easy to hold.
- flat, unbranded back and general layout is basically what every phone should have.
- The module extension system is probably the best of all the ones that have been tried. I have the 360 camera and it works great.
- speaking of the camera, I love 360 photos. I kickestarted a failed 360 Camera (Bubl) etc, I used to spend a ton of time making photospheres, their camera was fantastic. I love taking photos with it and people actually like looking at them.
- If they had managed to get rid of the chin and shrank the notch a bit (the status bar is 2x as tall as regular Android because of it) on their second phone, it would have been a perfect.
- Apart form the physical stuff, the updates came fast, the storage was generous (128GB) and the UI was uncluttered.
I hope they get picked up by someone, they have a lot of good stuff going for them.
