Nexus 5x Canada Thread - Nexus 5X General

Thought I'd get things started and set up this thread. Anyone have any info on the Canadian version?

Nope but looking forward to the release. Hopefully the release will be similar to the n5 and not the n6. Ended up canceling my order on the n6 and finding it locally

"The pre-orders will only be available on the Google Store, not in carrier stores, that's what we're hearing, and for the Nexus 5X, they'll be live in the US, UK, Korea, Japan, and Ireland. Yeah, I see no Canada in that list. That's... weird. Maybe our friends in the Great White North will have to wait a bit to get their hands on the least expensive of the two Nexuses."
http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...6p-and-5x-wont-have-wireless-charging-either/
"Google decided to skip wireless charging on both devices. That decision didn't come lightly though and the thinking behind it is that USB-C will offer much faster charging than wireless."

I wonder if you'll be able to buy them through the play store, you can buy apps/movies/books but why not phones?

I'll be bummed if I can't order one tomorrow.

I might have a friend of mine bring one up for me, we shall see.

Ouch $849 that's pricey, the 5x will probably be $529/$599 cad. Im out, not paying $700 after taxes/shipping for a phone that barely has any new upgrades compared to my nexus 5.

Wow, I did not realize how much CAD lost value over USD. Back on N5 release, the rates were closer.

They were 1:1 back then, my n5 was $399 cad back then. Now its brutal, 40% higher.

From what I read, the price on the Canadian 32GB 5X will be 559.00. I ordered mines from States, so I can get the $50 Google play card. Plus, is cheaper in US when you do the exchange rate.

Just ordered my 5X from canada, it's up.

Ordered two 32GB just now.

Just preordered the 32GB carbon. Looking forward to going back to a normal sized phone (currently own the n6)

I decided to pre-order a 32GB Carbon. I wasn't really paying attention and I seem to have put my order in almost an hour after some of you here. My estimated delivery is October 22 - 29

I just ordered 2 32GB. My estimated delivery is oct. 22-29 as well. I'm pretty excited. Anyone else order the 5x case?

That's reassuring. I have never ordered an OEM case, including both the Nexus phones I have owned. I also ordered the flip case for the wife so we'll see how it works out as well.

In the shipping waiting room thread quite a few people noticed the status of their orders changed this morning from "pre-ordered" to "pending". Mine has also changed. I'm not expecting one but it would be nice to see a shipping confirmation email sooner than expected.

HP's last Touchpad sell

http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/409706/refurbished_hp_touchpad_fire_sale_happening_sunday
For anyone that doesn't know already:
HP is having their last Touchpad sell on their official Ebay store today at 6pm Central time.
This time their down to just refurbs mostly but still at $99 and $149 (16gb and 32gb respectively) its a steal.
I know I will most likely pick one up tonight if I can grab one before everyone else gets to it
Anyone else thinking of getting one and putting CM7 on that thing?
Damn if I wasn't building a gaming computer I'd buy it in a heartbeat

They are already in the store, but for the high prices (500$). Anyone knows what this means? Are they selling for 500 bucks, or will the price drop within 2 hours?

Supposedly at 6PM (Central) they will be the prices listed above until they sell out.
This is only going on at the HP's official ebay page.

wondering the same.. it shows theyve sold already 8 of the 32gb, theyre might be something special for employees, like maybe they signed up with they're ebay account..

so what do you guys think 16GB or 32GB if im gonna dual boot it with android. that would probably leave little room on the hd of the 16gb one for movies, music and other stuff right?..

Newegg or PlayStore

I really want N4 on Newegg because there is no tax for me (NYC) and customer service is A++.
Which store u like more?
Will Newegg have it at Play Store pricing? If so, them probably.
Did you see somewhere that newegg has it? I love newegg and would rather get it from them!

The Nexus 4 is not going to be sold at Newegg. The GNex sold at Newegg is NOT the Play Store one, it's the white phone.
I hadn't realized Google stopped selling the Galaxy Nexus, interesting. Depending on the state you live in the Gnex used to cost $360-400 after shipping and tax from the Play Store. You can still find it for $360-375 shipped on Amazon or Google shopping.

I'm just trying to make the point that Newegg's smartphone prices aren't exactly... competitive.
Also, I thought this was interesting.

Black Friday deals for this tablet

The best I could find for Black Friday is a 50$ off from Samsung.
http://www.samsung.com/us/blackfriday/#category=tablets
Let's share any other deals we come across for this tablet during this holiday season
Update: For Thanksgiving, atleast 3 stores seems to have reduced the price by 50$ too.

I know BestBuy has good discount for 2013 edition, but nothing on 2014 ed. I could find so far
I just asked BestBuy if they'd give me 10% ($60) off on the 32gb white model as they didn't have the black 32gb one in stock and they gave it to me. I can live with white.

Thanks for the heads up.... made my decision that much easier. My daughter will be loving this on Christmas morning. :good:
FYI... For anyone else that's interested in saving $50, I think you have to pre-order by midnight EST on 11/23.
Do you guys think this is the best deal that will come along?
i ordered one thanks.

It appears you are correct. I think I was looking at the cancellation policy on pre-orders. Guess that's what I get for posting after a few drinks. :silly:
I thought this was odd. Last year's Note is Best Buy's Black Friday "deal." And at $389 for 16GB it's not much of a deal at that.
Lol retail stores deals are mostly ridicules this year! I'm hoping for a change on Cyber Monday!
Ordered mine last week. It will be here today. 32 gig @ 549.00 no tax.:good:

Just received the unit. Seals on both ends were broken. The box had dents on all the corners . There's clear tape missing on the sides of the tablet. The camera is covered, but there is protective tape on only one of the sides. The screen protector was crooked as well. Im wondering if this unit is refurbished. On hold for 25 minutes. Spoke with a very nice lady and explained everything to her. The unit doesnt appear to be damaged. I have 30 days to send it back. She said it is their practice to open the boxes to inspect before shipping. Not sure if thats true. Anyway, as long as I dont find problems with it, I'll keep it.

Bought it directly from Samsung USA. Tablet seems to be operating just fine. I'm ecstatic about my wireless keyboard working in tandem with my mouse on this tablet. I'm using a muti USB adapter, plugged into one of those dongles. I forget the name ATM. So far, so good.
I'm using Next Launcher and getting no lag. Very smooth.

Hmmm, when I added it to the shopping cart, it included Tax for me in Florida. That was the deal breaker for me.
Best Buy is now advertising $45 off. I'm still hoping for deeper discount after the holiday.

At least for me Amazon has state tax. And these days, Bestbuy price matches with Amazon and Samsung too, so makes more sense for me to walk into Bestbuy and try getting this one for 50$ less
Newegg is also offering this for 500 $ now.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834131622
Consolidating all the deals that we know of in the OP
FYI
I bought mine with BHPhoto. $549, no tax, free shipping. Already have UPS tracking number
so considering that all these companies(amazon, bestbuy, newegg, samsung ...) are offering the same amount of discount, which one do you guys think is the most reliable to buy from?!
and which ones add tax in CA?

Any opinion on this vs whats known about the new Nexus devices coming September 29th? I was waiting for them to be officially announced before I buy a new phone but this is tempting...
in the same boat. thinking about it lol. price is great for the phone

That's an AWESOME price for what is still one of the best phones out there performance-wise.
Anyone own a Moto x 2014 before they bought the Nexus 6. Is the battery life and camera much better? I suspect them to me about the same as my Moto X.
That is a great price. I have the 64G Nexus 6 and it's fantastic. I read that the 2015 Nexus will have a little more than 5" screen. The 6" screen of the Nexus 6 is a great feature and it will be hard for me to settle for a smaller screen in the future. My old SGS III screen looks tiny.
If you just bought this phone like I did within the past 7 days from amazon they will credit the difference because of the price drop -)..... Oh yes you have to contact them it does not happen automatically..
Was waiting for the Moto XPE but decided to jump on this deal today. Best Buy did a price match so I'm already enjoying it.
Bought a 32gb white version this morning. I couldn't let this phone slide for that price. What's crazy is... just a few days ago I also bought a 64gb Moto x Pure. I guess it's gonna be a Moto month for me?
bestbuy also updated their pricing..
Hard to pass up, have a best buy gift card. No one knows how it compares to moto x 2014? Is it a step up?
This was too good of a deal for me to pass up as well. I've been going strong with my N5 for a while, and was probably going to keep it if Google released the 6.0 image with T-Mobile WiFi Calling, but I had to jump on this.
I was waiting for a few more details to be more concrete about the new Nexii phones, but so it goes. This is a steal of a price, and I've wanted to try out the bigger screen anyway. Everyone I see with either a Note, N6, iPhone 6 Plus, etc etc all say the same thing...once they got used to it, they can't imagine going back to a smaller screen. Good call for those of you who went to Best Buy and did the price match with them. I thought about checking it out, but was hoping I could skirt a bit of the Illinois sales tax through Amazon.
Looking forward to getting my N6, should have it on Tuesday I would think. Amazon shipping says Sunday, but I highly doubt it'll actually get here then.
I know these phones will work on Verizon but does anyone know if Verizon will actually activate it if the IMEI is not on their white list? Would swapping in the SIM out of my current Verizon HTC M8 work?
Thanks
Bill
I got this phone like a month ago at the first level of price drops
Lol, oh well. If your thinking about it do it. Great phone.
If you want one but "its too big", no its not. Buy one.
Too good of a deal to pass up, had to get another one as a backup.
This is the quandary I am in as well...I just sold my one plus one and an lg g3. I'm using an s5 for now but really hate all the crap it took to root and the limited development. I loved the one plus it had active develoment but missed the wireless charging from my s5 and nexus 5 before that. I think this may just be the right phone, wireless charging active development only thing missing is no fingerprint scanner and no SD expansion. There really is no perfect phone right now...
---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------
And I maybe the only one but I do love the IR blasters in Samsung and LG phones they are so convenient. If I could put stock android on my s5 it would be the perfect phone.
---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------
And I don't necessarily want to wait for the two new models as I like that the development is going strong on the N6. I got the N5 right when it came out and it took a while before good roms started rolling.

To the person wondering if the nexus 6 is a step up from the moto x 2014, I had both and the nexus is by far a huge step up in performance, battery life, and overall, everything. I am glad I did it.
I'm about to buy my wife one as well since the price is so low. What a deal!

Good to know. Thank you! You get at least a couple hours more battery than moto x 2014 right?

UK: Pixel 2 XL

Whassup geezers! Discuss all things UK
Who's ordered then?
Ordered a black one from Google. Delivery 15-17 Nov. A bit worried now the photo samples have been posted that I've made a mistake.
I'm gonna await reviews first and let stock settle down before making any firm decisions, my 6P still serving me very well so far.
Black 64GB Delivery 15-17 Nov.
upgrading from a samsung S6
I've ordered from Google the XL 64gb panda, unfortunately for me my ship date is 18th December!! Weighing up whether to cancel and order from Carphone Warehouse as their ship date is listed as 20th November. I'm really looking forward to getting it as it's the first phone that's really piqued my interest since my trusty Nexus 6.
Ordered mine from CPW as google was saying end of December . 64gb panda due 20 th November
On announcement day I also got a text from EE to say I could upgrade early (from my 6P) so before I could stop myself I'd pre-ordered the 64gb all black version. I hate having to pay out on a two year contract but I'm a full time student and just can't afford to buy outright.... Well I could but it wouldn't eat or have electricity for a month or two lol. I went full stock (for the first time in years) when I initially flashed the first develop preview of Oreo so it should hopefully feel like a seamless upgrade. In fact I'll use my 6p to root, Rom and flash now I'm getting a shiny new Pixel XL.
Ordered the Pixel 2 XL 128GB black on the day of announcement, expected to arrive between 15-17th Nov, hope it's sooner

Just watched the link you shared, the video stabilisation on the Pixel 2 XL was light years better than the iPhone plus..... Can't wait to try that feature out myself now.
Ordered 64Gb Black from Google on day of launch, delivery is slated for 15th to 17th Nov
Wouldn't have minded the panda but when google predicted delivery 21st Dec I decided against it
Ordered 128gb Panda from EE can't wait to start working on custom roms
I take it no one has the shipped notification yet?
Also ordered on the launch day directly from Google - black with 64GB memory.
My current phone is Nexus 6P with battery issues and it will be going to Huawei for repairs once I get 2XL delivered.
