$800 is a bit steep, considering the rumoured specs for the iPad 2 and the fact that it will probably have the same entry level price of $500-550.
the price:
IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!!!!!!!!!!!
but seriously, 800 $ is too much. for that price you can get a nice laptop.
I think a little perspective helps with the new Nexus 4, and this is the amazing low price of $299/$349. Sure it is lacking features like 4G/LTE and 32GB storage, I agree those would be nice.
But what other brand new smartphone can you buy, off contract, not subsidized, for $349 ? None that I know of. Other popular smartphones, going full retail out of contract like the iPhone5...Galaxy S3...Note II...One X+ are all selling for $600 - $700, twice the price of the Nexus 4.
Are these others phones, twice as good as the Nexus 4 ? No way. Sure they do offer 4G and larger storage which is nice, but is it worth paying double that of the N 4 ?
That's why I returned my quad core HTC One X. the Nexus 4 seems more worth it. i'm going to miss the white and the front of my HTC. but going to like the back of the N4
Why not just make this post in this thread ->
Official: Nexus 4 starting at $299 - Nov 13
..or in one of the existing review threads?

So Samsung today announced note 4's India launched for 58k ( around 950$) I was looking forward for note 4 but 58k is just tooo much, what do you guys think if Note 4 really worth 22k extra compare to Lg G3?
I seriously think not :/ Was confirmed to get a note 4 but now I am rather swinging towards iphone 6 only coz I need to upgrade within a week and N4 price is surely gona badly drop just like s5 but might take 1-2 months and I cant wait that long, this was really rubbish move from samsung 53k max n I would have got it, but 58k, no ty sammy.
The Lenovo Vibe Z2 pro is offering similar specs for almost half the price.

Just looked at the specs, CPU + Screen Resolution are the same as LG G3, so wouldn't it experience the same lags and throttling?
Does G3 seriously lag? I have had 15-20 minutes with it in a local shop and did not see any kind of lag or so but may be since i am still using the 2 years old Note 2 and new generations phones like M8, S5 are very fast?

I played also with a G3 in the shop, no lag on the home screen. But I just picked that info of the G3 under performing due to the under powered Snapdragon 801 for running a QHD resolution.
I think the note 4 is a way better choice then the G3. I have a G3, it is a very nice phone but from time to time I do get a lag... And coming from a note 3, I really miss my note 3...just my opinion... Hope this helps... BTW the G3 just got a work around the locked bootloader, called bump... So now you can flash twrp on it and flash roms when they come avaliable... But I'm still getting a note 4...

Yeah since the Note 4 was announced on 4th Sep i was following each and every news on Internet and was very sure that i am getting the Note 4, I even gave away 2 invites of One Plus One. 58k for a Samsung phone is like 20 lakh for a Maruti, its good but for 22 lakh i can get a BMW ( apple)

Thats the reason it is being priced higher.. I am ok with it and imho it will sell more this time if they maintained that price cuz it ll totally beat the point of buying an iphone(at least in india where carrying an iphone equals a certain standard of living).. Now u can carry a premium device with actual features and innovations rather than being stuck with a boring and suffocating os just because u needed to show off.
And btw ur comparison is totally wrong here.. A bmw has better everything than a maruti.. While in this case the iPhone is inferior in every way.. If Note is a maruti then iphone is a ct 100 motorcycle priced as a bmw.

that motorcycle comparison is so spot on lol
I tend to disagree about the pricing of NOTE 4 in India, iPhone 16GB costs 53,500 & 64GB 62,500. Apple has a very high brand value & is a status symbol in India. So cost is justified, though Note 4 is better phone overall, Samsung doesn't hold such brand value. So pricing is very bold & likely to drop very soon like the better Galaxy S5

Yes it is worth. I am upgrade from G3 to Note 4 and feeling stunning. Good screen, fast proccessor, stunning battery life. The LG G3 have only good screen but the battery is bad and very laggy because 2K screen in the 801 snapdragon chip.
Thats my point it has a brand value because it is priced higher..At least in India nobody gives a [email protected]#k about the stock value or the worth of the company or that it is an American product. Apple has a name here because they demand a premium for their devices. Direct competition of Note 4 is iphone 6 plus which is being priced at 62500 for the 16gb version. Galaxy Note series has always been a premium segment device. And sammy has enough brand value to price it the way they have. Like i said before,IF and only IF they maintained the same price,then Note 4 will sell more.It will give you the satisfaction of carrying a premium device and keeping ur standards(showing off) in the society at the same time it will be an actual smartphone. And i dont think they ll lower the price too much this time.Since last year it was due to the online retailers that the priced dipped so low.Its all over the news now a days.Sammy,LG,Sony,Htc,etc will all take strict measures to retain the minimum selling prices due to the backlash they faced from the brick and mortar store owners this year.
Fair enough, but Samsung is no Apple and has a very good record on price drop. Day 5 from launch u can expect the a bit 10 % price drop. i am going to wait or get it from Dubai where its priced around 46k

Just goes to show how things are valued in different countries. I think the iPhone is a piece of overpriced crap and the only status I think it implies is that people have no clue how misinformed they are for buying it. But that's me... And I'm so glad Samsung isn't Apple.
Also, if status is what you crave, wouldn't the higher priced item increase the status of the symbol?
If that would have been the case I would be using an apple device but I don't because I know they are way overpriced for the value they provide. The problem with samsung is different though 800$ around 49k was good price for the note.
Anyway samsung is on destructive path with rise of Chinese players in India and Their bad pricing and availability mess

Vote and share your thoughts.
I ordered the 64gb version. I never filled my op3t with 64gb, so that just seemed like the obvious choice for me.
Picked up the 128gb.
Seems like the extra ram will be useful in the future.
8GB /128GB model. Don't think i'd use all of the storage, but the 8GB could make my phone futureproof for about two years.
I went for the 128gb/8gb version. For future proofing and the midnight black colour.
128/8 model. Seemed a no-brainer.
64/6 version.. both values are more than enough for me..
128/8 I choose. Seemed worth the little extra money for double the storage
First ordered 128 GB from oneplus.net but order delayed so I cancel the order and collect 64 GB from O2 store as I realize that on my 32 GB S7 +32GB SD card I never go higher than 36 GB so 64 GB is more than enough, most flagship phone work just fine even with 4 GB RAM, 8 GB RAM+Black color for £499 is marketing tricks to milking more money from spec. hungry people, most of my huge data stays in my laptop and external HDD and I don't install huge games in mobile . Think like £500 for OP5 if you add AKG like headphone, connector, water & Dust proof, High resolution curved screen, OIS, Micro SD slot, Refined camera chip, Wireless charging and £99 free Samsung Level speaker which is even water and dust proof and you can use it to charge your phone, in comparison OP5's price is too high, I don't agree when everyone said about cheap price or budget phone or £100 less compared other flagship phone, this is how they made cheap??
£50 for another 2GB RAM and twice the memory??
Yep I went for the 128 GB variant

Ships in 13 days for the 128 gb model. That is almost 3 business weeks or more. I am not waiting a month, if then, I can wait for the Note 8. Very disappointed in OnePlus!
went with midnight black because of color.
128/8gb go big or go home

The big girl. No reason not to, really. I ordered on Monday evening and it showed up via FedEx this morning (Thursday). Pretty spectacular service. Haven't had time to play with it much yet but I'm coming from a 3T and can't wait.
8gb/128gb Midnight Black! Well bigger is better and if you say it's not, well let's just say you're hiding something! I'll never use the 128gb up but 2gb of extra ram certainly will increase efficiency.
I just loaded 86GB of FLAC to mine, so... yeah. Good to have room! Might get a few movies on there before I call it quits.
I'm truly baffled that anyone would buy the 6g/64gb version when there is an 8g/128gb version for $60 more.
Most companies charge you $100 to go from 64 to 128,and then there is the added ram, which arguably isn't needed, but why not have it if it's available.
Honestly there is no legitimate reason for getting the lower model.

It's a cheaper option, it wouldn't exist if it didn't have any value

I got the 6gb/64gb version. I had already made up my mind that I would get the OP5 as long as it was under $500. The price difference wasn't that much for the black one so I was willing to break the $500 budget I set for myself. But it was out of stock when I tried to order it. Either way, it's still more storage and ram than any other phone I've had and 64gb was the largest SD card I have ever needed personally.

Yeap.. just ordered yesterday the 128gb variant and estimated dispatch is 13 july.. and estimated arrival is 20 july with standard delivery or 17 july (if i rekon correctly) with express.
It may be they have no stocks of 128 variant..
But hey, I have to wait a lot :<
I am really hoping Google would get the price right for the Pixel 5. It was leaked that the price of the Pixel 5g phones was starting at $500 that is of Pixel 4A 5G or Pixel 5.
The OnePlus Nord is having the same chipset Snapdragon 765G and similar specs priced at $400. They both have Amoled display, 90Hz refresh rate, Snapdragon 765G, 128GB 8GB Ram, 4000mAh battery.
I think Pixel 5 can cut down the cost since it is the smaller phone than Pixel 4A 5G. It is using the mid level SOC chipset Snapdragon 765G and only one variant 128GB 8GB one so it can greatly reduce its price.
Some extra features that it includes are wireless charging and ip68 rating which I find useless, wished they would have cut down on cost but some may like it. Pixel 5 is using the same sensor its been using since Pixel 2 for main camera but it also includes an ultrawide camera for first time which is a game changer. I would really like a Pixel phone for the Camera and software experience.
So the estimated price may be upto $550-$600. But I am really hoping that the Pixel 5 releases at $500.
I'd anticipate a high price for at least one of them..coupled with the 865+
The 500 mark would be reserved for their mid range device.
They can get away with the prices because it's Google and it has the pixel name..plus the camera will be decent Vs other brands, although that gap has been severely reduced.
Have to say owning the 1+8 pro, the ultra wide camera is excellent, the amount of times it comes in handy Vs anyone's device I'm in the company of..
Play it safe and don't expect too much from a company who have raised the price year on year, it's business, they can't stop now, would Apple?
Crap but unfortunately true..
Looks like the Pixel 5 is coming in at EUR 629 in Germany. Different estimates translate that into USD 649-699 for the US.
Germany's VAT is temporarily lowered, so EUR prices elsewhere in EU may be slightly higher.
Confirmed $649. Not bad!
It wont be launched in India. Anyway to get it ?
The OnePlus Nord isn't slated to come to the US, so the pricing isn't a fair comparison in my opinion. If they were to sell it here, it'd cost more. We'll just have to wait and see where that initial price point is. There's value in the camera, software updates, wireless charging, IP68, etc to a lot of folks. I'm perfectly happy with a 765G chipset. I know this because I'm perfectly happy with the performance of the 835 that rests in my aging Pixel 2. I'd rather have the battery life, personally.
629€ is more then I wanted to pay for this phone. I'm thinking to go with the 4a,but I'm not sure either.
I own a decent Nokia 9,but the hanging Camera is a pain. So this time I wanted to go for a pixel. Sadly, the 5 isn't clearly that much better then the 4/4a in my opinion.
629€ for an top CPU would be OK, but in this case... I'm not sure what to do

629 Euros is £576. Whilst we do tend to get ripped off over here on exchange rates, I would be okay with paying £599.

I do believe that $699 USD is confirmed by some very trusted sources. Slightly higher than I wanted to pay which only means I will now sell my P4 orange (mint) rather than gifting it to my wife. She loves her P3 anyway and would not be happy with face unlock with mask requirements. I'm looking forward to getting rid of that as well. After the sale I'll probably be out around 2 bills but the battery will make up for that imo.
While $650 or 650€ seems like a lot to pay for a phone with the same base specs as the Oneplus Nord, remember that the Pixel 5 (along with the 4a 5G which probably slots in at $500) is likely to be the only Android phone with a CLEAN fully capable RAW ultrawide camera. For me this is easily worth an additional $100 or so, and the IP rating and wireless charging make up the rest of the difference for me. Sure, I would rather pay $500 for a Pixel 4a 5G with 8GB of RAM, but as things stand (especially with the likely delay of the 4a 5G) I'm willing to pony up for the Pixel 5 at launch. I just hope they don't screw anything up, like putting in a dimmer display than the 4a has...

Lol no. 4a 5G at $499 is good, pixel 5 should be $599 maximum. If all the leaks are true it does not warrant a $699 price tag considering it’s using the S765G. And where did you hear the raw fully clean ultra wide? And how is that worth an extra $100? Phones like the S20 FE and the oneplus 8T are both gonna be $699 while offering more. Remember that Google is taking away the telephoto. Not worth $699

Lol yes. As stated above: FOR ME, a clean ultrawide implementation with full RAW support is easily worth $100 extra. I find it funny that you feel you can refute that . And the clean implementation is an assumption, by the way - based on the fact that Google is one of the few companies that enabled RAW with no fuss at all on the Pixel 4 telephoto camera. I'm hoping the Ultrawide will be similarly stress-free.
The S20 FE is crippled in weird ways (display brightness, RAM, the usual restriction to RAW only on the main camera) and the 8T is likely to be 799€ at launch - and it's a Oneplus, so a meh track record for support.
I agree that the Pixel is overpriced for the platform. I just don't care enough not to buy it because the alternatives all have their own problems.
Everyone got their own reason to ditch a certain brand or Phone series. For me: I had several OnePlus phones (early days) and they all lacked of something. Either LTE was bad GPS did not work properly Cam was dieing. On top was the Data Collection "topic" they tried to hide from the user. Since then they are dead to me. I went for an Android One after that. HTC something.. Everything was working but the phone was low end so I switched to Nokia 9.
The Camera and the Finger Print is both horrible. Now I want to give the Pixel a try.
I will watch the release today maybe I'll go directly for it or later this year.

iPhone? I thought you had the OnePlus 8. lol But $599 will be the price if you wait until BF and then maybe even less. If they put this out at $599 on launch then there would be none to sell after about 5 minutes. $649 would be the right price for launch but I will still buy it at $699. You would never buy one, right? See, I have a P4 I can sell at about $400 so 3 hundred is no biggie for me given the larger battery and aluminum back in green.

Uh I have several phones [emoji23]
That’s not the point, the launch price should be $599 considering the specs. Did you really say “If they put this out at $599on launch then there would be none to sell after about 5 minutes”??? That’s the point, to sell not just to keep it on shelves [emoji1751]
After Black Friday it goes back to $699 which isn’t priced right when you look at the competition. That’s why the pixel 4 failed miserably, because it wasn’t priced properly and the competition offered better at less.

Agreed, that is the point. But their people never called my people for this advice and so here we are. Thing is I'd by two today if they come out at $599 and treat the Mrs. and sell her aging P3. For $699 I can't justify it and neither will she.
Depending on where you are located you could get an awesome freebie. I have seen 6 months of Netflix for Canada. Bose QC II for France I think. Maybe the price includes a freebie.
Well 657,-€ in Germany... Nope for now
Edit: just seen, this is a temporary price. Let's check in a few days

Same here! I have saved so much money during the pandemic by not going to the local brewery, let alone happy hours once a week, that I could probably buy two of them and still be ahead. So expected delivery is November 3rd. I just need to keep my P4 pristine and get around $350 - $400 on Swappa. The P4 trade-in at $240 was a joke.
