Nexus 5X
You can now  download  the Android 7.0 Nougat via AOSP build for the Nexus 5 Google

After the announcement of Android's latest OS update Nougat, Nexus 5 owners were eagerly awaiting the roll out. However, the model was dropped from Google's update list and will not be getting the official OTA update from Google.

So, those who still own the phone and don't see the need of getting anew one can upgrade their systems to the Android 7.0 Nougat OS via a stable AOSP build created by developers at XDA. Although this is a relatively stable build, do download at your own risk.
