It's not like Nexus phones didn't have issues though. I only have one bug plaguing my phone since Android 5.x, and it's the infamous proximity sensor bug. Back when Lollipop was released, it would only happen from time to time, but with Marshmallow... It's always the case.
I resorted to using the power button as an "end call" button.
EDIT: It's there.
Sorry for uploading into server overseas (from point of view of someone in U.S), imgur and other just did not seem to allow posting linked thumbnail pictures.

"I stuck with AT&T though as my carrier, so unfortunately no Google Nexus device through them."
Yet another lemming who doesn't realize that there is NO CONNECTION between the carrier and the hardware....
You buy your phone from HERE: https://store.google.com/category/phones

I have been using Chinese Android smart phones 3 years now and Mediatek SOC phones are not running hot as snapdragons. It is great that China offers phones like this:

Yes, the phones are a good value. If by value you only care about specs. If you care about build quality, they are garbage. The warantees if any are terrible. No support. And updates? Not even the "brand name" Chinese phones are good about supporting them after the next new model comes out.
A family member had a ZTE and I wouldn't recommend to it any one who wasn't broke.

When rooted, you can then chroot into a proper linux environment. It's pretty cool to have sshd running on your phone and rsync files on and off it.

Its annoying. I prefer using iPhones for a variety of reasons but refuse to do the initial activation (DRM).
Though I really don't have much interest in mobile devices anymore, all the software is shit. I just have my £20 vodafone branded one for calls and texts and use my Thinkpad for everything else. I don't even put my mobile on the internet because mobile OSes are so broken.
Until mobile phone software gets better and more open. The "cloud" will simply never take off.
