[Discussion] Which Android device aged poorly throughout its lifecycle of 2 years?

Was thinking back to my old HTC One X and that thing aged so poorly by the time it was 2014. It had a lot of specs that were shortsighted to say the least (Tegra 3 with only 1800mAh battery) that only served to cripple it faster. The processor was also so locked down that many devs left after less than a year, leaving development scarce. Which devices do you feel aged poorly during its 2 year life cycle, because of its specs, software, or trouble in the OEM itself?

Is it even worth it to go for a removable battery device when you cant find a replacement a couple of years after you purchase it? What do you think/prefer? PS. I realize this is not exactly fault of android OS, but ...
