Hypothetical Which would be a better bargain? 5 or 3T - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

when the 5 comes out and if the 3T gets discounted.. which is the better bargain buy?
The current 3T is selling for $439 and assuming a $50 discount bringing it to $380 and that the 5 will go for $539, a $100 more. Which would be a better bargain buy?

Well I just sold my 3T for $435 which I purchased on launch date for $479. If I can sell my more than six-month old device for nearly purchase price and buy the new flagship, it's a no brainer. The answer to your question will depend on how much the OP5 ends up costing and how much the market shifts. Normally, it should have shifted already but I guess supply/demand and uncertainty has caused the price to remain extremely high for the 3T. Great for me anyways!
Other last-gen devices like the G5 would be possibly better bargain buys. I recently bought a G5 for $150 and in absolute mint condition.

wrong thread.

Wow.. I would've just went to the OP site for a brand new factory unit.. nice!

[Q] Groupon lying about the Nexus 7 price?

http://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-google-nexus-7-refurbished
Can anyone here remember the Nexus 7 being listed at $260?
How about the 16GB version? It's list is now $199. It was $249 at launch, but not now.
List price is what the manufacturer suggests it should sell for and often has no relation to what it actually sells for. Kind of like the difference between retail price and street price. Sellers often use List price for comparison because it makes their deal look better even though smart people know it never really sold at that price. This groupon deal is bogus. Why would anyone pay $10 less than current selling price just to get a refurbished model with a shorter warranty (most are only 90 days instead of 1 year)? Only an idiot would look twice at that offer.
Groupon is a bunch of liars.
It never listed for $260, certainly not a refurbished model.
I often see their "deals" as sounding much better than what is actually the truth. Every so often when I see some heavily discounted product, I look up how much other sites are selling for. Nine times out of ten, you can buy the exact same thing for LESS than the Groupon price at a name brand retailer.
But in this case, the MSRP claim here is a flat out lie. It was $249 at launch, and is now $199. And just because the MSRP *was* $249 months ago doesn't mean it still is.

Yeah $550 is pretty reasonable.

While I would have liked to have seen it come in at $499 and $549, I agree that $549 isn't unreasonable.
I don't understand, when it was thought to be $499, EVERYONE was like " oh yeah, it's mine" and "take my money" but all of a sudden it it $50 more expensive and everyone is like "oh hell no, no way Samsung you aren't going to rip me off"
Doesn't make much sense to me that $50 would make that big of a deal but hell what do I know. All I know is I still plan on getting it!:good:
Yeah, I would have obviously been happier with a lower price point. But when the new Nexus 7 came out and it had a small price bump, it was a pretty reasonable thing to do. I'll definitely be getting one at release.
Yes I was expecting 499$ too .... What a shame, I'm still getting it tho

Couldn't agree more.
This was never marketed as a budget/low-cost tablet. This is the (as far as I know) top-of-the-line Android tablet for the foreseeable future. I'm pleased to see it start that low. Heck, I know that's already a lot cheaper than the Note 3 I bought, lol.
If they will do the convert Dollar -> Euro, in italy the note will cost 449€.
But i think they will sell this at 599€...

no far
dran them all E408 why the USA have too pay $550
The 16GB Wi-Fi version will be available for purchase at $549.99 / €408 while the 32GB Wi-Fi version will be priced $599.99 / €445. Both versions can be ordered directly from Samsung or Best Buy, Amazon or Walmart and others.

Well the comparable closet high Android tablet is Sony Xperia Z Tablet with S4 Pro quad core CPU and 2 GB ram and only 1080p display which is selling for £399.
Note 10.1 on the other hand has better CPU, more RAM, better (or at least sharper) display and Wacom digitizer, I can't see how can it could be same price or cheaper then Sony.
It's pricey but that's this the only android tablet with pen function, so we don't have the luxury for shopping around for cheaper price.
The same reason old Note 10.1 never really came down in price.

Please don't post if you can't bother to format or spell correctly.
This price does indeed suck. Samsung seems to overprice and make us wait for sales. Problem is that online purchases will be taxed soon inside the us. The note 8.0 was priced 399 us dollars at launch but can be had on sale or refurbished at 299 and below which isn't too bad. 499 and I probably would've just bought it at Newegg right away but I'll wait on reviews and some custom roms first. Hopefully someplace will have it for at least $449 tax-free before the stupid Internet tax hits.

Tab Pro 8.4 for $249 at Best Buy

Just noticed Best Buy has the 8.4 on sale for $249. Thinking about buying another one since that's pretty cheap.

Rakuten has a refurb for $199 right now. Follow the link at TechBargains. They also have a 12% back in points deal at the moment. After points-back, under $200 for me with tax and free shipping.

Pixel UK Discussion

Evening,
I've pre-ordered the Pixel 128gb in Quite Black (the blue wasn't available--waaah!) and an XL to test which is best for me. Estimated delivery 24-26th Oct.
How about you?
i preordered the 32gb in black, Oct 24, 2016 – Oct 26
i think i read somewhere blue is exclusive to the US
up on CPW with £50 play voucher and shipping by 20th! Damn you El goog
https://www.carphonewarehouse.com/google/pixel.html#!colour=silver&capacity=32GB&dealType=pm
Contracts are a bit steep!
Way way too expensive for me. :crying:
Looks like it will be the one plus 3 for me.
I'm still on my M7 which I bought for £480 when it was new.
So yeaaaah I was not prepared for these prices.
I'd probably pay £550 for a 128GB, 5" Pixel. But that's a full £150 less than what it currently is. I can't justify that, no way.
Guess I'll wait.

M7 here too. Really had my hopes up when rumours of an HTC Nexus started. Now the Pixel is here I can't justify the cost. There's nothing extraordinary and the real killer for me is the software update support hasn't been changed from the Nexus.
I pre ordered the Pixel 32gb then cancelled the order when my sanity kicked back in. I'm just going to keep my Nexus 6P for another year. I can live without google assistant and the pixel launcher. That being said I am really excited to see what google does with the pixel brand.
I ordered the Pixel 128GB in black from CPW - tried to order on the Google Store, but it broke (clicked to confirm purchase and it just looked at me like a demented labrador). Same price as a ludicrously expensive iPhone 7, but I wanted a 'pure android' phone with the latest updates, enough storage and wanted it to fit comfortably in my pocket - so either pay silly money or compromise on one of my three requirements.
Website initially indicated delivery date of October 20th, but showed October 21st when I ordered. Presumably at these prices there won't be the long waiting lists that there were for the 6P and the 5.
I was very disappointed to see that the pricing is inline with the Apple iPhone 7. Weird, as previous Google phones (Nexus) were priced considerably much lower. I wonder where the spike in price has come from? Google trying to be as greedy as Apple?

Massive price difference compared to the new Google Pixel!

This is XDA, I am sure your 6P will be able to get the Pixel Launcher and or Assistant. If you root it, in time you'll probably get the same Pixel experience on your 6P.
So So disappointed with the pixel phones and their prices, what was Google thinking?
Mine's on order from CPW. Delivery for 20th October. It was expensive but I figured if I didn't order it, every day I would waste time thinking about ordering it. I was like this with the Moto Z; ordered it, and then sent it back.
Thinking now though...would the Moto Z be a better phone in the end...hmmmm
I may have accidentally ordered one (Black 128GB) direct from the Google Store as I'm thinking the customer services will be better based on past experience if I get any problems.
I was torn between the Pixel and Pixel XL. Given I have a 6P the XL would have been the natural choice, however I don't think I can justify the extra cost (hard enough to justify as it is). Plenty of time to cancel/change my mind though
Same here @Azarin. 128gb in black.
The XL price was just a stretch too far, plus, I only have small hands
Ordered from Google, IMO the customer support is better than CPW. I have sent things back to google in the past without issue.
Soon I will be retiring my Honor 5x (which was a standby phone after my MotoX Style broke, and they couldn't repair it...long story..)
I've been hanging on to my HTC One M8 waiting on the new phones to be announced. The price is quite steep but is compounded by the raw deal for UK purchases.
The Pixel is 650 USD in the US which is just under 510GBP. In the US you get the DayDream Viewer chucked in as a sweetener - but not in the UK. If you want to buy that (once available) its an additional 69 GBP
So, UK price for the pack is 668GBP v 510 GBP for the same in the US......which seems to be completely taking the p!ss - 30% dearer...
I'm wondering if I should sensibly look at something else - Oneplus 3??

Op3 tempting but bigger than I really want.
I've pre-ordered on EE with an early upgrade, only a few days early.
Will this phone have loads of **** installed from EE or will this be just a google phone?
I hate it when carriers put their **** on it!

Price of LG G6??

So you can get the LG G6 for 288 at Best Buy right now for Verizon. What are peoples guesses for the black Friday price of the LG G6? I just bought the LG G5 for 150 at Best Buy and really like it. I do like what the LG G6 has to offer and would upgrade if the price is right. The G6 seems to beat the pants off of the S8 when it comes to price.

I also jumped on the $288 deal last Friday and it's been a great experience. But when Black Friday rolls around I expect even better deals because the Note 8, iPhone 8, LG V30, PIxel 2 and Motorola phones will be out. I jumped on the $10 /month Black Friday Pixel deal last year and that phone was only out for a month. So no one here can predict what's going to happen on specific models. The Moto Z was actually down to $5 during that Pixel deal.
I don't see the G6 going below $288 within the next month or two (currently sold out at Best Buy) but I wouldn't be surprised if it hits $5 /month during Black Friday. I may end up with with 3 or 4 additional phones before the year ends depending on the deals. I still have my sights on a Note 8 and if I get it the G6 will be going to my son. But we will see.
Thanks for the heads up on the best buy vzw $288! I made it in just under the wire last night, it's back up to $480 (24x$20) today.

Nice glad you got one. It's a freaking awesome deal. I did not get one yet. I am going to wait till it goes down to 5-7 dollars and because im on Sprint.
I purchased mine from Verizon when it dropped to $20 a month. When BB dropped the price to $12 a month, I talked VZW into crediting me $8 a month for 24 months instead of returning it and re-purchasing it from BB.
My guess is you could see $10 a month next Black Friday.
Bought my black G6 off contract from T-Mobile for 549 euro`s. Living in the Netherlands (EU), have a sim-only T-Mobile Unlimited EU talk and data plan btw.
Just got one for 399$ of contract here in Switzerland. There was a special offer where you would get 200$ credit for buying a G6 and sending in any used phone. At first the G6 was 749$ but then they lowered the price to 599$ for the black version, too good of a deal to pass. Was using a G5 previously.
