> The deal breaker: Despite staying on official ROMs, Google broke audio in video recording such that all my vacation videos with a special friend ended up with garbled audio.

For me it was also the Nexus 5.

It just lost many of my photos, of our firstborn child.

Unrecoverable. Gone. And so was I from the Android-platform.

The camera clicked, but they were never saved. Hard to back that up, really.
