[wplug] No, Android Nexus phones are not dead

Fri Jun 27 09:56:56 EDT 2014

I had the same reaction when I saw this. Up until now my plan was to wait
until Google dropped the price on the Nexus 5 (which they tend to do when
they want to empty the warehouse before launching a new phone) and then buy
one. My Nexus 4 is only about a year old, and I'm hoping to get another
year out of it.

The One Plus makes me curious but it is too much a phablet for me.
