I bought a Nexus 5 (that was supposed to give you the Google experience) after my iphone 4 and was the worst phone that I ever had.
I barely managed to not throw it against the wall for several times.
After less than 2 years I sold it and bought an iPhone 6s that I still have and I use happily without any "phonicidal" thoughts.

My Nexus 5 has served me well for many years without incident. My next phone will be a Pixel 2.

I wasn't comparing Google Phones to iPhones, but to the rest of the fragmented Android market. iPhones don't come with bloatware and crapware either. But what issues did your Nexus 5 give you?

Not the parent comment, but my Nexus 5 power button got stuck and bootlooped my phone.
Replaced the motherboard myself, a year later, same issue.
Bummed about it because otherwise it's a good phone at a great price. Only thing I complain about other than that is how terrible the camera is, but for a cheap phone that's a few years old, it's unfair to compare to today's devices.
