Nexus 5X 16GB $299 and 32GB $349 http://slickdeals.net/f/8315649-lg-...hone-16gb-299-32gb-349-with-free-shipping?v=1

Probably will sell out fast.

You rock dude! I was researching baby monitors for the last 3 hours, instead of poking around this thread! Wish I came here earlier in the night!

I just ordered a mint one -- super excited.

B&H Photo is right by my office, near Penn Station in NYC. They better fulfill my order soon! My e-mail confirmation says "more coming soon".

I also received a $25 gift card to B&H as well. Sweet sweet deal.

After a day of mostly streaming the 1 1/2 NFL games through Chrome and reading a bit. Auto-Brightness has never not been on since i got it. Also 99021 process sometimes shown up in the Battery report is GPS i noticed

I let it get down to 9% plugged it in then remember I should have taken screen shots. That until full estimate is such bull also

Your welcome Best Buy and Google now have this price as well.

Well, now I wish I ordered from Best Buy so I could pick it up in the morning. Although... the $25 B&H gift card is great.

Question: Is there any upside to ordering a Nexus phone from the Google Store?

UPDATE: Just ordered my mint model on Amazon. I want this thing to arrive on Sunday. In Amazon we trust.

 

[Zero-Crescent]

The Nexus 6 deal is... UP! It's the deal of the day, so at least that indicates that they have plenty of stock.

EDIT: Deal's up for the Cloud White models. 32GB is $199.99, and 64GB is $259.99.

EDIT 2: Midnight Blue's up now. Grabbed the 64GB model, as I said I would.

Should probably link to the product page:

Google ignoring europe with black friday :/

Should I go for a 499€ S6 or 479€ 16GB 5X

 

[jwhit28]

Got the 32GB Midnight Blue Nexus 6. So much phone for $200. Most of the day I figured I'd end up with a Asus Zenphone 2 or a Nexus 5. I'm glad I waited.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Ordered a white nexus 6. This is a no lose situation when I can sell my oneplus one for more than I paid for the 6 or gift it to someone. Amazon gave me free same day shipping so I will have it tomorrow.

 

[linkboy]

That's an insanely good price for the nexus 6. Kinda wish I had waited, but if I didn't get my N6 when it dropped to $399, I'd probably throw my N5 into a wall.

 

[Rewrite]

Got the 64GB version of the Nexus 6 for my dad.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Oh shit, they have like new used ones for $169 also. I just picked up a like new used one for $169. Seems like only the box might be slightly damaged.

I was in the same boat too, trying to decide between the Zenfone 2 and the (then-recently-revealed) OnePlus X. I was leaning heavily towards the Zenfone due to its greater amount of RAM, Storage, and hardware features. But it was the beginning of November, so I decided to wait and see if they would put the Zenfone 2 on sale for Black Friday. Then the Nvidia Shield Tablet K1 was suddenly released, so it morphed into a tough decision between the Zenfone 2 and the Shield K1. Of course, this Nexus 6 deal came up, and as I said in my previous post, it sounds like the best of both worlds. Hope it lives up to that expectation.

 

[jetsetrez]

Damn, that's really annoying, I just bought my 5X almost exactly a month ago. And of course it's outside the return window now. :/

 

[Walter White]

I bit on the 5x. I know I said I was gonna just try and hold on to my LG G3, but for that price, I had to. Can probably still get a somewhat decent price for the G3 to make this an even better purchase! Hahaha.

Me too. that was my sweet spot price.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Welp, my S4's looking like it's finally on its last legs. Home button didn't work in the regular, performance sucks far worse than normal. Can't really afford a decent phone right now unless it's maybe something under $50. What's the cheapest I can get a moto e for?

Edit: My only other options are my old Nexus S and iPhone 3gs (don't have my 4s any more). Both these phones are utter shit right now. No way I could use either.

 

[Reckoner]

Back of the phone is more convenient for me than the display itself. It's just so natural feeling. I can unlock the phone while picking it up. A panel reader would be less elegant, I think. I generally don't touch my screen when grabbing it from rest.

The speed of the fingerprint sensors these days don't make that a problem, imo.

Is Amazon Europe going to do any deals on some Androids? I would grab a Nexus 6 64gb again or a Z5c if there are some cool deals, but both are still at 649 and 499 respectively.

Hi guys.
I've just started using Lollopop and one of the first things I've noticed is that in my app drawer, there are now 4 apps always at the top that seem to be my most recently used apps.
How do I get rid of this? All I want is my installed apps in alphabetical order. I've looked through the menu but I can't find any kind of menu for changing the app drawer settings, and googling to look for the location of any such menu just gives results on how to install the lollipop app drawer on marshmallow.

I'm using a Nexus 6P incase that's relevant.

Only way is to change the launcher to something like Nova etc

 

[Jazzy Network]

64th N6 for 260? Shit I may even get one.

 

[mrklaw]

whats the best budget android with a front facing camera that would be <£100 (so maybe $150?) Daughter has a lumia 530 with no front facing camera so would like a new one for christmas.

 

[NomarTyme]

Nexus 5x 16gb for $300 at amazon. They have 10% off with the chase freedom card activated.

[Saiyan-Rox]

I see Google couldn't bring themselves to put the 5X here on sale like in the US

Not that it's surprising in any way shape or form.

 

[Bboy AJ]

Bought a 32GB 5X for $350. Fair price.

Vodaphone Smart Ultra 6 http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/smart-ultra-6-phone-back-down-100-vodafone-2321316

ooh thats pretty good on the moto g - hotdeals says it'd be simfree? So I won't have to unlock it (it will be used with a vodafone sim). And that has a motomaker voucher so you can customise it too?

 

[CronoShot]

299/349 is what the 5X should have been to begin with.

 

[Wreav]

Also samsung gonna make BANK when the iphone 8 comes out with that OLED money. Hope they put it to good use.

More likely LG, as they supply the OLED for Apple Watch and are dropping 8.7 BILLION on a new OLED factory.

 

[Fatalah]

Any advantages to buying the 5X through the Google Play Store over other retail stores?

 

[Jazzy Network]

Fuck I picked up Guitar Hero Live. 60 bucks was too hard to pass up.

 

[thenexus6]

I wish we got a good deal on the Nexus 6 in the UK.

$200 in the US and £250 in the UK, blah.

 

[Lagamorph]

Managed to find that you can disable App Suggestions in the Google Home menu. Thank god for that.

 

[daoster]

Bought my dad a LG G3 for $220, and that Nexus 5X is looking MIGHTY tempting for myself...

 

[Jazzy Network]

Considered the 5X cause why not. In the end the 32GB and the supposed jank deterred me.

Supposed to be yes.

Amazon.fr has the 2GB version too for decent money http://www.amazon.fr/dp/B012MRT14E/ Even better if you've a card like a Halifax Clarity so no non-Sterling transaction charges

 

[Groof]

after countless delays and issues i've finally joined the 6p crew.

32gb graphite reporting in.

That's a really cool deal

A friend of mine wants to buy a budget phone as a gift for his father. I'll suggest him that deal.

 

[mrklaw]

i bought an Xperia M4 aqua for £99 PAYG from vodafone in the end.

You're just in time for the announcement of the Nexus 6R

 

[SimleuqiR]

Playing with a vintage iPhone 1g, this was something special.

Still have mine and the box.

 

[BoboBrazil]

That was quick. Ordered my nexus 6 last night at 2am and I just got it. Can't believe I got this for $199. I got a used like new one coming that I paid $169 for too.

Google Services is draining my battery like crazy. How the heck do I fix it?

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

we'll see. Samsung currently owns the smartphone OLED market. Not bad at all if LG can get in on the game. Lord knows they need the money. But until they prove themselves apple will go samsung.

They have 2 years though.

Google Services is draining my battery like crazy. How the heck do I fix it?

try disabling different google related services and see if it stops. Maybe try disabling location services first and see if it's still at the top. Then try other stuff.

16GB Nexus 5X viable as a daily driver?

32GBs no longer available on B&H and I don't feel like spending $80 more (after tax) for a 32GB from Best Buy.

That gives you about 10gb of space. You have to decide if that's enough.

Personally I make out fine with 16GB but I can understand why people would want more. That's enough space for me to store a ton of apps, some games, download some playlists and still have quite a bit of space left for pictures and documents.
