Why's that? Should be off-contract, if it's the Motorola/google store price.

I'm confused if $650 is the contract or off contract price for Nexus 6.

If the Nexus 6 costs $650 from Google Play Store off contract, then I'm sticking with my Oneplus One 64GB
 
Wow, even at CAD->USD prices, the Moto X is still more affordable.

I mean, it comes with a Turbo Charger but...?
 
Welp, guess this just reaffirms the fact that the Z3C will be my next device.

These huge screens can die in a fire. I don't need a tablet in my pocket.
 
Not waterproof and no pedometer? No wireless charging?

Samsung can sort of justify their prices.

Nexus is too bare bones to demand a premium
 
If the website is any indication, the Nexus 5 is here to stay.

Therefore, here's my prediction:

-The Nexus 5 gets refreshed in the spring instead of the fall from this point forward
-The Nexus 6/9 get refreshed in the fall
-The Nexus 5 keeps its low price point while the Nexus 6 maintains a premium price point

If that's the way they're going, I'm cool with it.
 
Holy hell, 650? That's bull shit man. I got the N4 through t-mobile for 250. I wonder how low it'll be if I grab it through them.

I'm sad about the price.
 
how does the tegra compare to the one in the Nvidia Shield? that is looking pretty tempting at $299 vs $399 for the Nexus along with streaming from PC. Unless I've missed something dramatic on the nexus that makes it worth the extra (slightly larger screen notwithstanding)
 
I want to be excited about another Nexus device finally coming to Verizon, but I have no interest in a phone that large. Now back to deciding between the Z3v or the new Moto X.

Yeah, that might be what's happening. Would be cool with that, I'll upgrade to the next N5 in about a year.

$650?

I guess they want to start monetizing their Nexus line of devices.

Ugh... I want a pure android experience, and Google is pricing me out of that possibility.
 
So if this is confirmed on Verizon I wonder how easy it'd be to sell my iPhone 6 plus and buy this and get it activated on my number...
 
You have a lot of phones.

$650 for off-contract?

What about on contract?

No right now I just have a Lumia 920 with WP8.1. I have a Nexus 7 with Android 4.4, and I have an iPhone 6 Plus preordered.

$650 off contract is too steep, and $650 on contract I think I'd rather get iPhone 6 Plus for the better camera (presumably) and different experience.
 
Even the tablet is crazy priced? Starting at $400 with a $220 keyboard? lmao I've loved my nexus 7s but I'm staying far away from this.
 
I guess they're done losing money on these. I don't think many people will buy into this. N6 is written niche of niches all over it.

Now about that N5 price cut, pretty please? meh :(
 
....... Fuck that size..... I'm just not into these big phone games. I was holding out to see if they would potentially put out at least a smaller version but nope, they went ahead and made it even more larger than a Note 4. Well, unfortunately, this is the first nexus I will not be buying. The tablet is a maybe however...
 
1) Nexus, you were the chosen one for us non-contract people. Shame.

2) 1.8GHz Quad Core, Intel® Atom™ on the Player. Is Android running on x86 news? I assume it's so sort of Android build inside.
 
Well I'm out on the N6 - I had already been turned off by the 6" size which is frankly way too fucking huge for me, but I was kind of willing to look past it for a cheap price but $650?? No way.

Totally in on the Nexus 9 though...it looks gorgeous
 
I just hope the N6 camera isn't shit.

That's a big wish considering the camera performance for Nexus devices so far. Still waiting for the day the front facing camera doesn't look like an absolute joke compared to iOS devices. Seems like the big aim for them was size, processors and battery. That battery life, though, seriously.

Can I actually buy one yet without any bullshit?

Still need an invite for it. Haha.
