As opposed to this?

>the past couple of months have seen a sudden increase in Nexus 6P battery complaints, with many users reporting that their phones suddenly shut down, even though there was plenty of battery life remaining

It's not a simple system crash, because your phone will stay dead until you connect it to a charger.

That seems especially problematic if you are on the go and need to make an emergency call to summon help.

A working phone seems preferable.

Yes, and what part of transparency is opposed to a working phone? Apple did not have to do what they did in secret. Nothing you have said responds to what I said.

This isn't an "Apple vs Android" discussion. Maybe that's where you got confused.

Google didn't provide a working phone.

When users complained that their phones died while showing a 50% charge and would not work again until connected to a charger, Google did nothing to fix the problem.

>The processor easily overheated, a bootloop bug made quite a few units die prematurely, and lastly, a battery problem surfaced that led to early shutdowns anywhere between 50 and 0 percent. At least the remaining owners of this Nexus device don't have to worry about the latter issue anymore — according to Google, that is. An engineer just marked the early shutdown entry in the company's issue tracker as "fixed."

I don't know about you, but when I just retrieved my Nexus 6P from my junk drawer a minute ago, it didn't have an update pending.
