32gb vs 64gb pricing

32gb vs 64gb pricing

If it's about that for a 32GB, then it would be much more reasonable. 32GB with those specs and UNDER $600 would be a pretty big deal.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Still seems to me like a better deal than getting a new iPhone 6 (same price as N6)

Main thing is to consider vs Note 4 which is getting rave reviews too

 

[Whitechocolatekrispies]

This is me ...

Fuck.

 

[Trouble]

32gb vs 64gb pricing

1. Those prices are in Euros.

2. The moto press release says starting at $650.

I still hope those end up being the prices in US Dollars.

 

[dskillzhtown]

Do we know that the $650 is the Google Play Store price? When the Nexus 5 launched it was $350 directly from google, but T-Mobile was charging $450 for it without subsidies.

This is why I am waiting to see the Play Store pricing before freaking out.

 

[Cheebo]

Ignore that picture that is not US currency. Motorola confirmed in their press release that the STARTING pric is 649

This is why I am waiting to see the Play Store pricing before freaking out.

Motorola said the 650 price is what it will start at in Google play.


Guys just read the press release. It's way easier than guessing...

 

[Orcastar]

The phone is too big, the tablet is too small. Also those prices.

I'll pass.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Same.

 

[Vostro]

6 inch? Well I know that I'm keeping my Nexus 5.

 

[Rosur]

Nexus 9 guess there not replacing the 10 then?

Tempting to pick this up (hopefully around £299ish when it comes to the UK)

 

[sunofsam]

Hope they support the Nexus 9 more than they did the 10.

That said - anyone want a Nexus 4 and 10? Good Price - 1000$

 

[Cheebo]

Same.

650. Motorola point blank said that is the Google play starting price.

It's a blog post, not a press release, so the level of pre-release scrutiny isn't quite as high.

It would have to be $300 less to be worth it. $100 less won't be enough.

 

[kasane]

6 inches?

pass

 

[Zoned]

650$ is a bit much for me. Was expecting something in 400ish, but seems like they are targeting that note 4 segment. Still getting a nexus 9 though.

Yeah, I'm looking to unload my N5 32 gig. This is a good time since the price point on the N6 (and for some, the size) will sway them away.

I like big (hence why I'm going Note 4), but I thought the Play Store price was one of the reasons people went with the Nexus line. :\

 

[Burai]

Price is completely unaffordable for me and probably most other low income people. Guess Google no longer wants me or the average person as a customer.

There's only so much you can do with price on a 6inch phone. You need a decent SOC and plenty of RAM to drive the display and you can't half-ass the battery either which was one of Google's favourite tactics to get the price down on the Nexus 4 and 5.

Between the Moto G and the Nexus 5 they've got the lower end covered. A six inch phone just cannot be a budget product. Yet.

 

[trifelife]

Looking forward to a clean install of L on my 5, I'm very satisfied with how it's running. Took some tuning and the battery life is whatever, but it's OK.

Would love that battery though jeez.

 

[nogoodnamesleft]

I don't understand the pricing cries. It's 650 off contract. Aren't phones usually even higher than that off contract?

 

[FallingEdge]

I don't understand the pricing cries. It's 650 off contract. Aren't phones usually even higher than that off contract?

Yes but people were hoping for it to stay around 300-400 like the N4 and N5.

 

[DrFunk]

yes, but Nexus phones haven't been pricey since the Galaxy Nexus, 3 generations ago

Galaxy Nexus when it came to the Play store was $400 -- although at launch in the US it was expensive to buy it off-contract since it was Verizon only or you had to import it.

Nexus 4 at launch was $300.

Nexus 5 at launch was $350.

Nexus 6 is $650.

Bs. One Plus released a premium device with 64gb storage for $350.

 

[Haribi]

I wanted to upgrade my Nexus 4 to the new Nexus whenever it came out but I really don't think I will now.

The size and especially that price is just much more than I expected. Too much.

 

[Jzero]

It's too expensive

 

[belvedere]

Maybe there's hope for more true Nexus devices in the near future. That said, this makes hanging onto the OPO a no brainer.

 

[Confidence Man]

Fucking hell. Guess I'll be holding on to my Nexus 4.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

I hope Lollipop breathes new life into my Nexus 5 in terms of battery life.

Otherwise, my mind is already going to a dark place -- namely, putting down $400 upfront at T-Mobile and having them add the rest to my bill ($10 more per month for 24 months). Going through T-Mobile would also give me insurance coverage, plus in-store service/support...

TALK ME OUT OF THIS DARK LINE OF THINKING, GAF.

650 is going to mean like 750 in Canada isn't it...

Yeah, C$750

 

[Trouble]

Bs. One Plus released a premium device with 64gb storage for $350.

That argument falls a bit flat because you are comparing a 1080p phone to a QHD (2560x1440) phone.

 

[Divvy]

Yeah, C$750

Not cool Google, not cool

 

[family_guy]

High end phones are about 600-800 off contract. Updates from Google as well as the low price of Nexus phones in the past are what made it appealing. Now the only appeal is updates from Google. It seems now that its better to either do a contract and get a discounted phone, or do ATT Next/Verizon Edge/Tmobile jump where you can get a new phone once a year and not have to pay that much up front.

 

[RiggenBlaque]

Bs. One Plus released a premium device with 64gb storage for $350.

They're also selling those phones at a massive loss because they're a new company trying to gain traction.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

At first I laughed because it was a niche within a niche. A nexus phone that is huge. Throw in the price and you got a niche within a niche within a niche. Ground breaking.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Doesn't matter. Both were top of the line devices when released. Build of materials for the Nexus 6 will be $350 or less.

 

[Protome]

Was hoping they'd announce a smaller one too. Guess I'm finally switching from Nexus this year!

For phones that is. That Nexus 9 will be mine...

 

[malyce]

Yeah, I'd rather spend $650 on an iPhone than a Motorola device. The resale values on the Nexus devices didn't bother me that much as their successors were cheap enough, but $650 for an N6 that wont hold value like a Apple or Samsung device a year from now isn't worth it to me. I can get $200 for my N4, so I guess I'll sell it and pick up a G2 sidegrade for $250 and splurge on something with a 20mn chip and great battery life next year.

 

[BoboBrazil]

No they aren't. They are selling at a profit, but a very razor thin one once you factor in costs to run the company.

 

[Bullza2o]

So how much better is the 6 camera compared to Moto X 2014?

 

[jooso]

Loving my Nexus 5, it seems I will have to buy something other than a Nexus when I decide to upgrade. Won't buy premium phones anymore.

So you buy devices based on their resale values?

It's Euros.

Edit: way too slow.

With a smaller battery and smaller, lower res screen that you have to add yourself to a waiting list to buy.

Sounds great!

 

[Vyer]

Did not see $650 coming.

And at $400, I guess that's the end of me buying Nexus tablets, unless there'll be another 7. Not interested in spending that for phone apps on a tablet screen.

 

[meow]

$650???? I was looking for a phone to get next year and thought N6 would be the easy choice. For $650 I'd have my choice of any phone on the market, Nexus loses a big advantage for me personally.
