I'm eligible for an upgrade and, considering how my OnePlus One is holding up at this point, I should probably do that soon. Looking at the phones available, the 6P has most of my interest. I'm wondering if it's still worth getting, ignoring price so I won't mention what it is, and if there's anything I should know about it before going into it.
Thanks folks!
If you buy it with a good price point in your country.
The new Nexus phone 2016 leaked spec. did not look good for me.
May be I will continue to use my 6P until next year.
After seeing the leaked specs, I've decided to buy the 6P. I used to use the Nexus 6 and I find the 6p to be a much better phone. Better as in battery, screen, and the feel of the phone. I love the Nexus 6 but I think I just found the perfect phone and thats the 6P
My 6s broke buddy had this for sale 400 brand new with the watch and project Fi best investment
I'd probably still buy it now. The new Nexuses don't really interest me so this phone would still be my next purchase.
great to read these opinions, after having the screen break on my Mate7 i took the step to come back to Nexus again(I really miss my N4). good to know its still worth buying
It does have staying power, especially on XDA!

I know I know...I CANT be the only one debating it. But now that its officially out, I must admit that despite how much I HATE the Samsung Galaxy phones, this one looks pretty tight. Hardware wise I know Samsung are great. But I have 2 friends with Galaxy phones who DESPISE them and have even offered to trade them for a Nexus One straight up.
I know dual core phones will be out very soon, but what Im actually only interested in owning Googles "baby" when it comes to support and updates.
So here it is....
Are you going to sell your Nexus One for a Nexus S?
I LOVE my Nexus One..LOVE IT...Im a bit stuck on this one.
Thoughts?
No, I found it too difficult to get a decent price for my Nexus
IF there is an AT&T version then I will get one. My Nexus One has a broken screen and I'm in desperate need of a new phone.
Nope. While it has some advantages over the N1, they are not major enough for me to change. With dual core around the corner, I think I'll pass on the S and wait it out till Q1.

Yep. Only if I can get 3G on AT&T.
I put mine up for sale, and just took it down. I'm gonna wait for something better. When N1 was released, desire came out. I'm gonna hope that when Nexus S comes out, HTC will release something the same, but hopefully more features like an SD slot. Besides... Phone isn't even a year old yet!

Most I could get responses for on Craigslist was a measly $350...
Do I really want to take a $225 loss ($575 original N1 price / tax minus $350 Craigslist sale price) just so that I could upgrade to a SuperAmoled screen and front facing camera? Nope
Im staying with the nexus one...the screen res. is higher on the nexus one then nexus s
My Nexus one has been great for me but I just love shiny new tech toys and the Nexus S kinda looks bad ass and ninja stealthy in all black so yes I'm going to get it (though spec wise it's nothing to shout about). Will still keep my nexus one though for hacking with android.
I'm getting one.
It is not looking good, is is crippled from stock Galaxy S:
- No MicroSD slot, only 16GB onboard
- No 720p video recording (!?!?! will this come in Honeycomb or something)
- Bluetooth 2.1 instead of 3.0
- 1mm thicker than Galaxy S
Things it has that Galaxy S doesn't have
- Gingerbread (Galaxy will get 2.3 soon hopefully that a similar phone has it)
- LED Flash (Couldn't care less)
- NFC (By the time this is mainstream i will probably be through to a new phone anyway)
So looks like Galaxy S is a better buy

You're aware Samsung makes the Nexus S, right?
I plan to sell my Nexus One. Its in great condition T-Mobile model with 16GB SD card. If anyone is interested let me know .
I'm going to pass. I'm happy with my AT&T/Rogers Nexus One. I hear it's quite rare now!
The plastic Nexus S is a dealbreaker. The thing looks too plastic-y for my tastes. It's all about teflon / brushed metal!
I'm passing too! I <3 my N1. The new S isn't standing out at all for me. Sure, 2.3 stock but ill get 2.3 once Cyanogen (my fav mod) releases their version in a month or so. I also love how i can upgrade to up to 32gb sd card which is awesome.
He** NO, after samsung lied about the updates to the Behold II they will never have me as a customer again, Nexus One forever! or at least till there is a Dual Core HTC.
dual core phones coming in future with the tegra 2 and the orion chips, not to mention a possibly newer google phone with honeycomb which might also have dual core.
LG and Samsung are also developing new screens which they will implement in the near future and not to mention there isnt too much that the nexus offers. Most people will only buy it cos it comes with vanilla android and will get faster updates. It also lacks 4g which i suspect will become norm for phones in 2011 with more networks using it.
Was hoping for a higher res camera and screen and by the looks of it this phone also misses out on features already available on many other phones like Wifi direct, DLNA, HDMI, MicroSD slot Bluetooth 3.0 etc. The NFC is basically future proofing your phone as not many things currently support it, its like having a 3D TV with hardly any 3D content. Much better off waiting for the next flagship phone from Samsung and since the Nexus is a rebranded galaxy s then we porting over the new updates the Nexus recieves wont take too long i think
Nope. I have a G2 and an N1.... love the N1 too much plus the Nexus S doesn't even have HSPA+ on it....
No, I'm selling my Vibrant that I got for free.
I keeping my Nexus.
Depends. If Samsung releases a car dock and desktop dock similar to the N1's, then I'll consider selling my N1. Otherwise, I'll keep the N1 for roadtrip use and use it as a bedside tablet and alarm clock.
I looked today and my HTC One S is currently going for around £200 on auction sites. Considering the massive spec difference someone would get by spending an extra £70 and picking up a brand new Nexus 4 do you think the second hand market will be affected by it's release?
I know that if I had £200 to spend I wouldn't be looking at second hand flagship phones from other manufacturers unless they were way cheaper.

That depends on how many Nexus 4 sells worldwide. Generally Nexus devices are not as popular as the OEM flagships and google also does not push for more sales with huge marketing campaigns. That said, I believe Nexus 4 will sell much better that it's predecessors and it will have only a slight impact on the price of other phones.
Imo only in the play store markets. In other countries no, because its price will be the same as the other flagships.
Hopefully. I'm taking both Galaxy Nexus and (hopefully, if nothing major screws up) Nexus 4 back to China in December. I'm hoping to get some decent money out of my Galaxy Nexus.

Google did a pretty good job advertising the Nexus 7. I read an article somewhere that Google & ASUS were selling over 1,000,000 N7 tablets a month.
The Galaxy S3 at Best Buy went to $250 trade in down from $300 last week.
But Best Buy had a sale on the S3 last week. Plus prices drop all the time. No real reason.
I put my Gnex on eBay as soon as I saw the price of the N4. I figured that as soon as news of the N4 prices filtered down to used Gnex buyers, then it would depress the price of the phone.
The jury is still out whether it will affect non Nexus phone prices in the short term, but I'm sure that top end phones will become far cheaper over time because of this move.
So, my Gnex has now gone, and I'm back on my old Desire, at first I thought I'd gone back to the stone age, but a decent Miui based ROM sorted that out...to an extent.
Since it's currently Google Play only that have those prices, i doubt it will have any real effect on prices in general
It's sad, i was hoping we could get back to the day where iPhone was the "only smartphone" and Android was trying to gain market share, back then the prices for android highend smartphones were around 400€.
But as Android gained popularity it started jumping up to 500€, and now 600€.
It's no secret that the phones themselves cost around 200$ to make, so i'm really hoping that someone will still taking notice to Google's Prices, especially as they start expanding across europe.
I wonder if I should buy now or wait nexus 6P a new release ? or wait for example for Oneplus 3? or buy galaxy s7?

I do not know what you actually search, but the Nexus p6 is relatively heavy, huge device. In addition remember to buy it only from Google site, because if you not - you will be struggling with any level of any support, starting from charger and cable to phone itself. Huawei does not have repairs "on site" - users send the phones by post or via seller and wait for weeks for the repair - no replacements provided.
No ones gonna decide for you how to spend your money, and there was enough of these discussions already, pointless thread. Next nexus not gonna be available for atleast 5more months. If you just want phone that works well all around and has some gimmicks, go for samsung, if you like trying out different roms, flashing kernels etc, you wont find better than nexus.
One plus is still fhd screen. If you don't care about the screen buy that one.
No matter what do not buy a Samsung. Also the galaxy 7 is not a pablet and the note 6 is around the corner.
I would buy the honor v8 4 gibis and qhd screen.

Dear Android devotees,
The nexus model range ended. All those, who are familiar with Android longly, know it is somehow sad to hear such kind of news. It is an end of a chapter - indeed- and this means also the inception of a new one , now called as PIXEL.
I created this thread for the German community part of this forum who want to speak about rumors, news and opinions in general in regard to Google's next flagships ( in English of course).
Let's do it again & happy flashing!
I know it's the xl forum but if the 5" starts at 649 then the xl will be 699 or 750. They are pulling the same crap like last year. The 5x was way too expensive at launch. Fr 200/ 250 it's a good phone, but the price wasn't justified by only it getting fast updates. The xl has to outclass the 6p. And that will be difficult simply because the 6p is an excellent phone still and it's a lot cheaper and development is going strong. Not to mention the 2k oled display stereo speakers and good camera. If it's not better then people are better off buying the 6p. (If we're kepping it within the nexus line) I will wait for development to get rolling before deciding if I buy another nexus. Currently okaywith the 5x (bought it for 200) and the op3. The op3 is excellent for tinkerers on a budget. The axon 7 is also an option but development for europe is non existent because of the locked bootloader.

Fully agreed. I'll stay with the 6p until I see it rooted and having a decent community.
But I'll switch away from the 6p as soon as I see the community of the Pixel growing. My 6p gets way too hot with normal usage and I'm pissed off about that.
I am still hoping that they offer something that could justify the price. e.g. top tier display and sensors to make it Daydream compatible (which should be the case), unlimited online storage and so on.
But the design and specs from the leaks seem pretty lackluster :/

Yes, I totally agree. I am remembering to the good old "pay-less-for-much" concept, but I would classify this as dead since the nexus 5 actually. We might get something unbelievable, who knows? Yet we don't have many 105% authentic information.

Yup, also I do agree here. I just checked the sectiona and it was around 11 active roms and 6 active kernel threads.

I am really really hoping for a good camera and battery, having a decent microphone would be also nice.
I think daydream puts sensors on the hardware, the same as gearvr.
I guess that has to be on board as minimum.
I hope that all sensors are located in the phone. Just take a look at Project Tango to to see the possibilities.
It would also be very beneficial to things like Argumented reality (e.g. Pokemon Go), GEO Location or activity recognition which are far from being perfect on our current devices.
Well, 5 days left. Really lookig forward for anything suprising.
My little cousin is looking for something in the range of 300, I'm pushing them toward swappa and telling him to research some things that he has enough money for but can you guys find something you would recommend for that price range? I'm leaning towards a Nexus 6 because I loved that phone. He brought up HTC m9

I would be really wary of buying a used Nexus 6P. There were obviously quality control issues with this phone. Too many people with boot loop and battery issues who need to RMA. Without a warranty you could end up with a paperweight.

Moto G4 Plus looks really good for a $279 price tag. The one major drawback is no NFC. But he can get a brand new phone with decent specs and a warranty.

I had a g4 plus (moto) before i bought a nexus 6p. All i can say is it is one kf the best phones that i used.
No issues at all. Running great up to now.
go for moto x pure edition 64 gb with great dual speaker at $260 best buy on sale
Depends what carrier you're on.
The Google Phones get updates faster than the moto phones of course. I would recommend the Moto Phones if he either a) knows how to unlock bootloader and flash custom roms, or b) doesn't care about stock updates. Moto is generally notorious for lack of updates.
If you're on GSM, could always get a OnePlus device.

Nexus 6p is great and in many peoples opinions one of the best phones currently out. It is very customisable and easy to use with good battery. Also if your cousin is into nodding then this is one of the best phones for stuff like custom roms etc. I would highly recommend this phone because last I checked it was around 300. I bought mine from the google store almost a year ago for 300-320. Can't remember exactly. Good luck searching.
yes go for moto x pure edition with 64gb great camera and best dual fron speaker better than the nexus 6p.. saw iit a week ago at $260 at best buy.. thats a steal
