any sources on that?

yes

Slide user to this day here. Love the customizability!

Oh yes the large screen cracked at least twice for me and was rather expensive to replace. I also swapped the battery twice.

I like Lineage and how it extends the life of devices software wise. The Nexus 6 got Android updates up until lately but I think support is being dropped now. I am not too much of a tinkerer so I have not tried other custom roms, lineage just works for me. Also I restrict myself quite a bit more than necessary by avoiding google services and non-foss apps wherever possible. A fun experience but probably not for anyone.

Good luck waiting then, it has been sold in 2014 and by the way was owned by Google before. Could have been what the lines of Nexus and Pixel have become today.

Yes, it was made by Motorola. Writing this on my Nexus 6 running Lineage OS. It’s turning a decade old soon and the older it gets the less I am willing to get something new. Nothing like that sweet 16:9 QHD OLED screen with headphone jack and stereo speakers in a metal frame for like 600€ anymore.

shake for flashlight (why don’t other OEMS have this?)

As often as moto phones are praised for this feature, the reason has to be that they own a patent on this and other manufacturers are not allowed to just copy it. Can’t imagine it’s difficult to do with some customization though.
