I have been to the Jarir bookstore here in khurais road but still no news of incoming nexus 6. Its kinda sad, im hoping to get the item upon getting my month end salary but the longer i wait, the more im inclined to buy note 4 which is already available at the jarir store. Anyone else here in Saudi waiting for the nexus 6? My guess the pricing will be around 2500 SR.

Hi there, I'm from Riyadh, I too, also patiently waiting for the Nexus 6 to arrive here. Unfortunately it's not available yet. Maybe we have to wait until December. =( But I think it's worthy to wait, I don't kinda like the touchwiz software of the note4, pure stock vanilla android lollipop is the best. I wish the price will just be around 2000sr. =)
From Dubai
Waiting for this to be released in dubai. Many online Sites have it listed as coming soon but no prices. And Nexus 9 went on sale this week in Jumbo Electronics. :fingers-crossed:

I hear you man. I broke my Nexus 4 last night, screen completely shattered. Don't want to buy Nexus 5 from Jarir, so I'm gonna stuck with my old SGSII for a while till the Nexus 6 is available. Using Touchwiz after using pure stock android is a drawback.
Finger crossed they'll make it available soonish.
I went back to jarir and as of today, still no word of any nexus 6 shipping. The good thing is hopefully we wont be getting the faulty first batch of nexus 6. I see alot complaints already like peeling nexus logo, flimsy speaker grill and scratched back cover.
any news on the availability of this phone? my phone screen broke yesterday, and now I need a new phone
I need this phone now

My dad is come home from Dubai for a couple of weeks, then he as to go back. I go there once a year, myself. I's an amazing place, however, electronics are expensive there; unless you go to Dragon Mart and get knockoffs. lol.
and still no word from jarir for the nexus 6
Hmmmm.. Any body can going to "Al-mursalat" and ask him?
Nexus 6 availability

I don't recommend asking in Almursalat area, it is better to support official channels like STC, Mobily... etc,. This way, demand on devices will guarantee fast availability on newly released devices. Unofficially, however, I'm sure that imported devices from the UK for example are available, but I wont take it with no warranty and no guarantee on full network support.
In STC magazine, the Nexus 6 was posted as a "Coming Soon" device, Most likely in the upcoming month or two, on and off contract. The prices were not announced but I'm guessing, based on previous releases like the nexus 5, that it will be around the official US price of $650 (USD).
I hope I was thorough in answering your question.
you can buy it on amazon uk. Yes, it's expensive when converting £ to SR, but this the only way now or you can wait 1-3 months. I've already paid 4173 SR (incl. tax) for nexus 6 64gb model XT1100 (LTE works in saudi arabia).

Nexus 6 Saudi Arabia
Still Jarir people are refusing to even comment on the availability of nexus 6. The point is this that why Jarir, extra and similar stores are so lazy in bringing some devices to the market in Saudi Arabia. Even they had very limited stocks of Note 4, it came and it disappeared very quickly even in Riyadh.
In Mursalat I went today and no availability of Nexus 6 there too. Anybody knows tentative launch of nexus 6 via STC?
you can search dubizzle. there is a guy offering new nexus 6 as per his speech (i think these phones are shipped to him from US or EUROPE unofficially) . if you decided to go for it ... let us know

Good News!
I'm happy to bring you the good news!! STC just released Nexus 6, exclusively, through their channels.
The price tag is SR2799 off contract with limited 1 year warranty. On-contract, however, STC is offering a whole system that depends on your "rating" and "rank" in the company's records. Call STC to know what criteria you fall under.
I would add the link to the device but I don't have that privilege, being a new user, to add links in the forum.
However, navigate to STC's website, go to devices and you'll find it in the newly added devices section, you can't miss it.
I hope you find this post helpful, have a good one.

Anyone knows if the 6p will be available on uk Amazon? I £100 voucher and I could use it to beat the price of the phone by bit.
How was it last year with nexus 6? Was it long after release date to see it on Amazon?
Tapping on the toe with a new hat
Good question. I reckon they will eventually but not anytime soon. I dont think any large retailers are getting this in the UK for maybe a month or so after release.
Dear All,
There seems to be no news on the availability of the 6P for Hong Kong. Anyone have any news on the availability for HK.
Thanks.

Unfortunately i don't think anyone knows anything about Hong Kong availability, i have friends that work at Google in Hong Kong and they don't know
furble,
Considering Nexus 5 release in Hong Kong was one of the earlier cities to get them back them, one would think Hong Kong would be one of earlier cities to get stock since Huawei has a decent presence in HK.
Yeah that's what I was thinking, but you see all these release dates and preorders in other countries and no news for Hong Kong.
Like i said, i asked my friend that works at Google Hong Kong and they told me they asked around and noone knows anything....
Hoping it comes out soon, my current phone is 3yrs old and this is most likely my next phone
dying to know this myself as i'm based in HK too. Huawei has a really big retail market here in HK so I think there will be a set release date with no need to preorder from google. Retail shopping is so big here.
I guess it most likely will be available this year. ?HK is not a big market and it probably won't make a dent in their small inventory.

Ye, it won't make a dent in their market with Nexus phones but there is a lot of authorised Huawei retail stores in HK which will stock them locally. Judging by that, there should be stock on release date.
Nexus phones aren't big here in HK but since its Huawei, and their presence in HK, it should do pretty well.
I remember Nexus 5 wasn't even for sale on any big retail stores. It should change this year.

That was what I thought when the N5 came out. I thought the retails shops didn't have them but they did stock them. I just asked and did have them in stock. Huawei HK website doesn't even mention the 6P so don't know what they are doing now. Like it was with the N5, the retail stores sold them at a premium compared to the Google Store. This will most likely happen this time around with the 6P. Google, make them available in November 2015!!!!!
Hey guys, so I was getting impatient too. I recommend you check out price.com.hk for list of shops that take reservations. I pre-ordered with CW Professional shop in CWB; they provide official warranty and I can pickup the 6P between Nov 3-6. I can't wait!
Where do they get the 6P?

Madeo,
Nice heads up on the find but watch out where they get their stock. Is this the 6P China version? HK version? North American version? I'm thinking their getting the China version which I don't know if there is a difference on the software side.
They said "100% 原裝正行, 中港聯保"
The official Google page have a sign up for news, but that's it.
I'm also waiting for official release in HK.
The Nexus 5 was available to buy in HK, it's just that most shops would rather sell you Samsung/Apple products instead. In the end I bought my wife a Nexus 5 directly from Google about a week after release.
We have to wait for Madeo to receive his handset from CW and see if it is legit or just wait it out. I have a hunch it will be available in November 2015 from Google Store.
How much is it and which model did you preorder?
Don't buy from retail store...

The prices are always higher then Google Store. I remember they priced it at $3800 for 16GB and $4300 for 32GB for N5. Further, they are usually opened and demoed before purchase by the consumer. At least we know handsets from Google Store are sealed box.

Looking back at my purchase history, I bought a white 16GB for HK$3,198 on Nov 20 2014, it arrived about about 3-4 working days later.
Google price will always be around the same as Fortress/Broadway shops, but you don't get any extras (screen protector usually).
Luckily there wasn't any defects on the phone but I think it would have been very easy for Google to pickup and send a replacement anyway.
I bought the Aluminium 32GB for 4688$HK ; that's the expected official price from the playstore hk. I'll let you guys know as soon as I pickup my device. Google will probably release the 6P in HK late November or early Dec but I can't wait; my current phone is dying on me.

Madeo,
Yes, who knows when they will start selling in HK (Google Store). Since, CW sells it at the Google price then it is all the better for the consumer. My Desire 820 alarm is all whacked. It comes on only a few time during the work week which is killing me.
Sin Dat and other local places
Dear All,
Anyone check out Sin Dat for the price and availability. Also, any cases or tempered glass screen protectors available in HK yet.
Hi has anyone got any news on when the Axon 7 will be available in the UK? I've got money burning a hole in my pocket and I've wanted this phone since it was announced back in May...
I've seen on Twitter that it could be a Q4 release in the UK but what does that mean? Sept, Oct, Nov??? I've also seen on Amazon.es (Spanish Amazon) that it is currently available for 449 euros. How come its not available in the UK if it is available to order from the Spanish Amazon site and possibly other EU sites?
Its been available in the USA since June hasn't it?
Also is there any confirmation on pricing because again amazon uk are selling it for £458!
https://www.amazon.co.uk/ZTE-Axon-7...TF8&qid=1473928341&sr=1-1&keywords=zte+axon+7
An astonishing mark up on the US price which is $399 if I'm not mistaken? Going on current exchange rates the Axon 7 should be about £300 but I've read it will be £359 but would love to know for sure...
I think only 60 were originally available in the UK, apparently it wasn't so much a sales drive as a pilot to be followed by a proper push - eventually...
The price difference is largely down to VAT, if you were to try to import one from the USA yourself (which isn't allowed, I've tried), it would be no cheaper.

Great, so the One Plus 3 is looking more attractive for UK customers right now because its already available and in stock and its for £329 which is £30 less than the Axon 7 how come both phones are $399 in the US??? - this makes no sense to me even taking VAT into account...
If only the OP3 had a 1440p screen, SD card slot, and front facing speakers...
ZTE are really messing up here IMO its almost like they don't want to sell the phone in the UK...

Also if only ZTE had half of OnePlus's distribution channels in the UK...
I was hoping to see the stock availability in the UK too, the 4GB+128GB version in particular, but it's very unlikely.
At least I can buy one during my China trip soon, the 4GB+128GB version only costs about 300 quid. I'd say that's a fair price to pay.

Despite being a 'pilot customer' and experiencing the often poor early software and non-existent support, and despite being a satisfied former OnePlus customer, I've no regrets in not getting the OnePlus 3 as the Axon 7 has such astonishing audio technology, both for recording and playback.
That phone on Amazon looks like a German import. I'd hang on for another week or so.

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?

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?
