One big difference from older droids to the Nexus and above....is the screen was protected better from shock. Now the screen goes edge to edge so chances of breakage are higher which increases the need for more responsibility. It you're that much prone to dropping a phone, maybe it's poor care on your part and not poor build on theirs. And maybe it's different here, but I don't consider where I live oozing with 4G, but I've never dropped a call and reception is excellent.
