Should the 6p be the last Nexus brand phone

I vote no.

There is way too many other OEMs making Android phones and the Nexus phones are the standard of excellence now.

Sure Google has the right to call it what they want, but the name Nexus is synonymous with pure Android, bloat free.. even though that isn't 100% true.

I've always considered it to be a developers phone from the gitgo and have always admired how easy it is to modify the os or anything else on them. If they are wanting to become more mainstream and find a larger audience that's fine but if they turn this line into a cesspool of bloat and adverts then it's not worth owning IMHO.

My vote is no.. Continue to refine the os and the hardware, but continue being the only bloat free devices that are fully capable of being rooted and unlocked bootloaders....
