Actually, yes. At work we have a Nexus 6 testing device. It started off strong but a few months ago it started lagging badly on videos. It even struggles with gif length mp4s. The problem is notable because it is the only phone with this problem. Even our old Galaxy S4 performs better.

My old Nexus 6 had similar issues, but then the wifi chip failed and I had it rma'ed. The camera fails as well when I try to autofocus. It seems like Nexus devices are somewhat plagued with issues. I'm knocking on wood that Google/HTC get it right with the Pixel.
What kind of videos? Do you have a link perhaps where I could test this?
Giphys and rewarded video ads. We are a gaming company so you can see where our priorities lie!
