I liked my 5X until it died from the bootloop issue 1mo out of warranty. Happened to at least two other co-workers and burned me enough to swear off Google phones. I'm not going to drop $700 on something that might last less than a year.

OnePlus 3T got my money instead.

May be worth checking to see if you can get an out of warranty replacement. I bought the phone through my carrier (Google Fi) and they replaced it for free with a refurbished 5X. 6 months out of warranty.
A colleague of mine also got his 5X replaced out of warranty. It did take a couple of months before he got a replacement 5X, but he did get one. Might be worth a try.
