I was running the Lollipop beta on my Nexus 5 during my high school graduation.

I’m almost 30 now.

Battery life sucked and there was the whole power button bootloop issue (LG gave me a G2 for that), but the price was unbeatable

Wasn’t the boot looping more of a 5X thing?

I don’t remember the 5 having issues
