This plus the if it's sold on carriers will determine my purchase.

I've come to the conclusion that it's being sold on canadian carriers specifically because our shitty dollar makes the phone way too expensive to get subsidized. I know of at least 2 Canadian carriers who will have it. Not sure if any of them have backed out since then but I'm preeeeety sure.

Sounds like american carriers aren't getting it? You never know though.

 

[LeleSocho]

Ya'll know the Nexus camera is gonna be horrible. Don't even be shocked.

The really have to try their best to make the camera bad with a sensor of that size.

Seems that it won't be. Which is why I picked up a Note 5.

The EUR price is hilarious. But I guess that's the weak Euro.

€649... eat my shit please

Taxes man, taxes everywhere.

 

[Elaugaufein]

And once more a company has clearly based the Australian price of the European one (1099 AUD when a direct conversion from US is ~930). That's a lotta moolah for a phone thats not basically perfect. The only thing more expensive and comparable is the iPhone 6S Plus.

 

[Hamster Plugin]

It's £450 in UK (same taxes and shit) which would be €607 with these exchange rates. 650 is just bullshit, it's more than flagship Samsung and Sony phones.

And let's not forget that 500$ is 445€.

 

[The Faceless Master]

$204/$232 with better specs than the 5X. Flash Cyanogen and good to go.

don't see FP/NFC in that spec sheet

Canada LOLLLLLLLLL

I wonder if carriers are still going to keep it at 650 no term for 32gb or increase it to match google.

 

[Jigolo]

The pricing in the US is actually incredible.

 

[giga]

You guys are so cheap. Don't even ask how much a 128gb 6s costs.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Doesn't have it, because its made for China. Meizou is supposedly planning for launch in US sometime this year or next though.

Dammit... I really need to upgrade from my aging Nexus 5 though...

 

[Junior Mint]

I'd rather buy an iPhone 6 off craigslist for $700 CAD tbh

 

[hitgirl]

Ok so should I get the 6P? I thought the Nexus 6 was way too big / heavy, I thought the Moto X Pure was slightly too big but mostly too heavy. I can put up with the 6P, as long as it's like lighter than the Moto X Pure..

 

[Maiar_m]

In Europe this is a mere 100€ less than an iPhone6S. Not sure that's a comparison the Huawei 6P holds a candle to in the long run though.

 

[Pachimari]

Should I wait for the 6P instead of going with the S6 Edge tomorrow?

According to the leaks, the 6P is around 178g, which is around the same as the Moto X Pure (179g).

 

[The Faceless Master]

only $650 for 128GB?


hrmmmm.........

 

[BoboBrazil]

Google charges tax too so gotta add that to the cost.

Ok, thanks a ton for the info. Looks like it's a pass for me.

 

[Pachimari]

Where can I see which countries it is coming out in?

 

[giga]

I thought it's €170 less. Assuming that chart includes vat.

 

[kami_sama]

Any chance I would buy the 6P just vanished. I hope the 5X has 3 gigs of ram. Even then the price could be shit, like the 6P's.

 

[thuway]

And shipping. The phone at base will be close to 600.

 

[Reckoner]

Should I wait for the 6P instead of going with the S6 Edge tomorrow?

Yeah. Wait a couple days to see what the impressions are.

 

[Phear]

Jesus, that DE pricing... guess 16 GB 5X wont be under 400 Euro then...

 

[Maiar_m]

I thought it's €170 less. Assuming that chart includes vat.

Nope, just 100€ :/ I'm not sure that's a deal, even just from a resell-ability standpoint.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I'm seriously just considering getting an Xplay on the cheaps and just using it for a couple months. Max until new nexus phones are out. That battery is too good though. It'll make going to any flagship next year hard considering they'll almost all assuredly have worse battery. Or I keep using my iphone until maybe the S7.

I had my heart set on going back to android around this time. Bah.

 

[Elaugaufein]

Hmm. I think that price puts it over the threshold for import processing here. Yeah it does. That's not a huge deal price wise but it'll delay delivery significantly. That's ... less than awesome.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Should I wait for the 6P instead of going with the S6 Edge tomorrow?

Probably. S6 is only good at this point if you get it cheap.

 

[Pachimari]

Yeah. Wait a couple days to see what the impressions are.

Yeah I'll think I'll see what the impressions are.

I'm seriously just considering getting an Xplay on the cheaps and just using it for a couple months.

I'm thinking of doing the same honestly.

Probably. S6 is only good at this point if you get it cheap.

It's $1,050.

i can't believe the conversion, i have no idea the reason, unless they are taking a loss again in the US in order to further project FI... and if they are doing it for project FI, i would hope for some good news on that front... like adding ATT to the network compatible list.

 

[EmiPrime]

£450 for a 32GB 6P, pretty good.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

£450 in the UK means i'm out

Fuck Google you just killed my buzz

 

[popeutlal]

Why do most Android phones have terrible battery life? Is had to be software related, maybe there needs to be a system level feature where you have an option to stop all background process except for the select few.

Everything non-USA LOLLLLLLLLL

Fixed.

We got Nexus'd

Fucking over 700 USD in France, Germany, 680 in UK. So 200$ more than US. What the shit?

They don't. There are a ton that give better battery life than the iPhone. With that said, with Android unfortunately a settings on one app or a bad bug can make things go to shit. I personally don't know what that looks like as the two phones that I've been using have the best battery life I've ever seen and they happen to be top phones in terms of battery life.

Whoa, dat turn. You might not get a Nexus after all this... Do what I did, get a Moto X 2014 to return it, Nexus 6 to return it, and Moto X pure to return it. All in the same month. Good way to spend your time.

Really? Seems poor next to the new Moto X which is almost £100 cheaper. Now it has no finger print reader true but it's a significant saving.
