Mine doesn't crash (anymore, it did when v12 came out), but my cell/data goes offline randomly and I get worse service than my peers in many places. It also overheats when exposed to almost any sunlight at all no matter the ambient temperature (it's overheated in my car with the ac on and no case) or when charging and doing a video call at the same time.

My Nexus 4 and Note 5 were solid phones, but every android phone I've had after that has been awful in one way or another.

The final straw for me has been android auto on this phone. Completely unusable and unsafe. So many crashes and lockups and touching any cable causes it to disconnect (but my wifes iphone doesn't do this so it's not just the cables). At this point I'm looking at an iPhone for my next phone. Something like android would be nice, but I also want a premium phone that works.

My Note 5 is actually still going strong and is smooth and responsive (except for lack of updates). The battery hasn't swelled or anything.
