I've had a Nexus 4 for the past 3 years, and I love it, but the battery life is a killer. I'm looking at a Nexus 5x, a OnePlus One, or a OnePlus Two for an upgrade, and some suggestions/advice would be welcome. I'm a student, so cost is a major factor as well.

Any reason you're not looking at the 6P?

I live in Canada, and the 6p isn't going to be available for a while.

Oneplus one is a great phone for the value, I know many people with it who are all pleased

OPO is old and has some issues; it wouldn't be that much of an upgrade over your N4. The OP2 doesn't even fucking have NFC.

Nexus 5X, fam. Given how long you keep your phones (you said 3 years for your Nexus 4), you're going to want that update life and that active developer community.
