Yeah paying 600 bucks for the 5X in canada just isn't worth it. And that's for the 16gb btw lol.
I guess if I get ANY phone to tide me over to 2016 flagships it'll be the x play. May just stick with my iphone a while longer.
Maybe the s7 will be out in Feb like the rumours and blow minds (lol).

you said earlier that you buy what you want. If you don't want anything, then why force yourself to buy? Just wait until there's really phone that you want..

Yupp, done with the 5X and i guess Nexus as a whole.
Moto X Style/Pure is too expensive in Germany, any alternatives? Does the LG G4 hold up and is it easy to flash stock Android on it?

Lucky delivery date. About a week earlier than my expected 6P delivery. Guess not as much demand for the 128gb. I'm surprised they are still up. Guess they got more stock this year.

There's also a comment underneath of that one talking about the fast-charging claims...lol
Another interesting difference in claims is that for fast charging, the 5X advertises:
And it's fastget almost four hours of use after only ten minutes of charging.
For the 6P:
And it's fast get up to seven hours of use after only ten minutes of charging.

Did you pay like $20 for the fastest shipping?
My thoughts on the event after the hype settled down
5x - Meh, budget phone release.
6p - Confirmed the leaks. First great Android in a while hardware wise. Love the massive battery and hoping the camera is decent.
Chromecast - Love it. Casting games is awesome (Monopoly!). Especially at $35.
Chromecast Audio - Lol.
Pixel C - Upon review, it's a regular Android tablet with a keyboard attachment accessory priced the same as an iPad. No thanks.
Moshmalluh - Unimpressed.

128GB in Graphite between Oct. 30 and Nov. 2 for me.
Jesus, I was interested at the 5X because I am looking for a new phone in the 300-400 range, is that thing really so expensive here (the Netherlands)? There are a ton of phones with the same or even better specs for much, much less. Isn't the price-quality ratio of this phone incredibly bad?

So much doom and gloom.
Anyway, what's the best budget that I can buy right now?

OK cool. Maybe he did expedited shipping.
And yes guy above, the Nexus 5x is a horrible value. Over $400 with taxes for the base model.

I'd probably go with the 6P or that Note 5 deal from the other day.
Probably a second hand Nexus 5. There'll be loads going up on ebay over the next week.

Wow at those UK prices. Unless you absolutely, positively, cannot live without stock Android then I'm not sure why anyone would consider a 5x at £339.
Shame.
Shame.

Got 32gb graphite 6p. sucks having to wait a month though and they already charged me.

I'm getting more excited about Android M now that they've announced it will open up voice controls for 3rd party apps.
If it comes to my favorite apps like Pocket Casts I'd be really happy, it'd make listening to and controlling podcasts and music from my car a lot easier.
Now I just have to hope that Samsung and AT&T don't drag their feet about releasing it on my Note 4... but I know they'll take their sweet time.

No, I meant budget phone. I already ordered the 6P. My Moto X is dead and I'm phoneless at the moment.

Could always cancel. Charging a month in advance is bullshit.

Ah so it's going to stay pending for a month?
Also, it has a notification led!

Money is already gone from my account.

I am going to wait for reviews.
In India anyway, so I can get it via someone coming to India from US in December/January
Need to see how the 810 performs

Ouch, I used my credit card and it just shows as pending and hasn't been added to my balance yet.
Yeah, one of the reasons I can't go Iphone.
Has anyone heard anything about wifi calling or volte on T-Mobile? It doesn't mention it, but does mention band 12.
Also the 810 is clocked at 2.0 ghz
awesome, but runs android as an OS. So a big pass
and quick charging on the new devices pushes 7 hours of battery in 15 minutes? Keep losing One Plus.
it's a hold. It'll look like it did before next business day

Ah, gotcha.

Battery should be a beast, especially with custom kernels. Dev community should be awesome on the 6P. Done with OnePlus probably forever since I'll just go on jump on demand when the Galaxy 7 launches if they are still allowing 3 upgrades a year.

Out of those i say the X Play. That battery.
I know but it's a sickness. I just want something new because who knows how long I'll have to wait in 2016 before something I like comes out lol. I'll see though. I definitely wont overspend on something I'm not sure I want. I'm still going to wait a couple weeks. It's either going to be X Play as a temp phone or nothing and wait.

No point now. would take 5 days to get the money back
and it really is BS it even says in the email you get charged on shipping
Does anybody really want a chrome os tablet doe?
It looks like a fantastic 10" Android tablet at Air 2 prices but with a usable (32GB) entry model.

Nvidia X1 though..

Only a Chromecast for me. If I was ballin', I'd have bought a Graphite 6P and Pixel C. But alas, my ass is broke.
BoboBrazil

Yeah, hoping it's just a hold like stated above.
Will be very interesting to see how the 810 performs in the phone. OnePlus had to downclock it to 1.8 ghz to get it to run somewhat normally and it still gets hot. The phone being entirely metal though might help with heat.
Honor or s5,especially if you can find the sd805 version. X play sd 615... lol no unless you only care about battery life
Pd. Chrome cast 39 😡
