Nexus 5 or 5x

[Pitmaster]

Hi there, i have seen in the list of possible phones to use with Ubuntu the Nexus 5. Now i want to buy one but i get offert a lot of 5x models. Is there a problem with choosing a 5x?

Thx Pit

Hi @Pitmaster
It's only Nexus 5, the Nexus 5x is not supported.

Many people choose either the Nexus 5 or the One Plus One and I also read about the Meizu Pro 5.
But the latest is hard to find.

If you wait few months, a good alternative will be the PinePhone.

Personally I chose the Nexus 5 and I wait to buy a brand new PinePhone next year (probably for my birthday ^^)
