Today 10 years ago I went to Poland to buy a Phone with pre installed #Firefox OS on. The Phone was a Alcatel One, so very shitty. Two years later I installed Firefox OS on my Nexus 5 instead.

It was a very good concept, but sadly rolled out on too shitty hardware so it never caught on.

The nexus 5 was peak size for a phone imo, it's a nightmare trying to find a decent 5" phone nowadays.

Iphone mini apparently is pretty good.

Nexus 5 was just peak EVERYTHING for that time. Badass hardware, badass display, size, design, everything about it was amazing even if it had no fingerprint sensor until the Nexus 5X and 6P.

God I miss when they made phones with love.

I got a oneplus one, that was good too

I want to see something like this but without the bezels
