Price for the nexus 5?

How much money do you guys think the nexus 5 would be? i would love a two year 16gb model for 200$.

I'm thinking $400 for the base model, off contract. They're not going to retain the same pricing as the N4 in all likelihood given those "leaked" specs.

hopefully.that would be a good deal for those specs

Maybe one day UNICEF will get into the smartphone business...
But really $200 for the specs we have seen? That would be giving it away. Im guessing something like $349 for 16GB and $399 for 32GB.

Nexus 5 Price
I am eagerly waiting for the release of N5, if the No - Contract price is 400$ or above then it is out of my reach.

999

Don't forget that a year ago the Nexus 4 specs were considered top of the line....
It really is the only bump they can go with the N5 otherwise they would just be repackaging the N4.

lets also guess how many people will get their hands on n5

I'll definitely fork out $349 or $399 for the 16GB or 32GB models respectively. Anything more than that, I might think twice.
But I'll still probably take it. Nexus S was my first android phone and I've never regretted my decision of getting that (even if I don't have it anymore since I lost it on my way to work)
But yes, take my money please :victory:

Sounds real

349/399 for the 16 and 32 gb respectively, 200 is just impossible, google is not a charity.

I think the OP meant $200 on contract, which would be the absolute most it would cost on contract, and even that would be a ripoff. If it's $349-$399 off contract, then on contract it should be free.

Why does everyone assume the pricing can't be the same as the N4 last year? The N4 was basically the Optimus G, which at the time was the best of the best, as far as specs go.
This time around, the N5 is basically the G2, which, again, currently has the highest specs on the market. The situation looks identical to me, and I see no reason the price should not be identical as well.

"We are told by our source that the 16GB LG Nexus 5 will feature a 2300mAh battery and will be priced lock, stock and barrel for $299. The 32GB LG Nexus 5 will be powered by a 3000mAh cell and will be priced at $399."

I'm weary of anon tipsters. Hurry up and make an official announcement.

if the 32gb really had the g2-battery, then thats the only version to go for! \m/

I seriously hope it`s gonna be priced like the N4
299$ / 349$ for 16GB/32GB or 8GB/16GB I dont really mind the Flash size as long as it`s cheap

Surely the 2 version of batteries cant be right as this would mean the dimensions would be different??
I wish this was the case but I cant see it myself.
Ill be getting it regardless, just had a tax rebate so nicely timed with the launch of the phone

Is it me? But it seems the price is too good to be true?

The 16GB Samsung Galaxy S IV is $649. The 32GB Nexus 5 is $399.
What am I missing? This deal seems to good to be true?
Thinking of selling my 32GB S IV on ebay today!!

It's not that it's too good to be true, it's that $649 is a ridiculous price to begin with.

You just don't understand the crazy markup companies have to make profit.

Sell your S IV and buy a Nexus 5 (if you can find one in stock). I'm reasonably certain that you won't be disappointed. I've had my Nexus 4 for almost a year and it's been a great phone. Looking forward to switching to the N5 when it arrives in a couple of weeks.

True. I returned my iPhone 5S yesterday and ordered the Nexus 5.
Unless you stick to the upgrading every 2-years at subsided pricing, Google has the best pricing as far as I see.

Let's just be happy there was no 8GB version. Otherwise the 8GB would have probably started at $349 and bumped the other 2 up by $50.
The Nexus device is not really meant to compete with the S3 or G2 at this point. The Nexus device is really meant for devs to create on pure Android and Google is willing to eat profits for that. In the meantime all the non-devs and phone geeks get to enjoy a great phone at a great price.
If Google wanted to sell this phone like there was no tomorrow and compete with Samsung you would have seen some crazy marketing done by them prior to the launch. Instead, there wasn't even a peep out of Google and it silently just showed up for sale. To me that says they are not trying to take over the world with device sales.
I think their probably more interested in making profits on devices through Motorola. These are just some of my opinions and really doesn't represent anything more then that. Only Google really knows the answer to the who, what, where, when and why's. Just accept you are getting a great phone at a great price.

you know it only cost Samsung 240 dollars to build 3? and look at the price of that. ridiculous. I am grateful for the nexus line of phones. even with some compromises . I am done spending that kind of money on phones anymore

The only explanation for this messy launch is some sort of supply chain issue. I wonder what happened?

Those prices though!
In Canada, I can only imagine the price with the exchange rate and taxes will put it well over $1000. Not sure how I feel about this.

Lol way to botch a launch. So much Samsung in my house you know they ship tons of stuff.... So why can't they get it right? Could also be a difference in culture. I know in America we want the latest and we want it now... Maybe over there things don't get as much interest?

Any news on UK and Asia launch

I'm not spending over $1k, that's insane. To me there is no phone worth that much. Especially when I consider the features of Touchwiz that I don't use. I have always said that I wouldn't buy a phone that did not include both a micro SD slot and removable battery after owning an S3. If prices are this high the Nexus 6/X will move way up my list and I'll hold off to see what it offers. Here's to hoping they offer it to us for $850 maximum.

Hmm, so it says in fine print you're trade in phone needs to be worth $10 or more, and you'll get check for difference between $200 and your trade-in value.
So glad I kept my Galaxy S2 Skyrocket in a drawer for the last couple years. Shows it's worth $26 trade in. So can get a check for $174, and can get the Note 4 for really cheap.

How do you find out how much your phone is worth? I got my old fascinate.

Lolololol. Its just a phone. And its just a month. Who cares which one comes out first? Apple fans will buy Apple products, Samsung fans will buy Samsung products, etc. Not pleased but yet you're still getting one? Who are you kidding.
P.S. Verizon has the pre-order for only the white note 4. Sprint starts on Sept. 26th. AT&T has white and black for pre-order now.
and the verizon note 4 ships on Oct. 23.

I got a different (and better) trade in value by going to
trade-in.vzw.com
I traded in an old (and unused for the past several years) iphone 4.
They appraised it at $65.
I really didnt care about the trade in price as long as it was more than $10.
They are sending the shipping materials, then I will just have to wait for the Note 4 to arrive so I can fill out the form on the Samsung webpage to get the $135 balance.
Bottom line is that the Note 4 only cost me $99 !

Hello! will the Verizon 128GB Gold Galaxy S6 Edge be available for pre order tomorrow?
How exciting that your interested in getting a new phone! I'd be more than happy to assist you with any questions about the preorder for the Samsung S6 edge. Let me check that for you.
May I please take a 2-3 minutes to look into this for you? I appreciate your patience.
While you wait, any accessories you want me to look up for you?
Thank you so much for waiting. I did check for you. The Samsung S6 Edge 128GB will be available tomorrow for preorder.
will there be official Samsung accessories available tomorrow?
Yes, accessories will be available for preorder tomorrow as well.
i guess i'm just trying to clarify. The Verzion 128gb Gold/Platinum version of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge will be available for pre order tomorrow. Correct?
Yes, it will be available.
I haven’t received a response from you. Do you still need assistance?
fantastic! Do you by chance have the price options? Off contract and 2 year. Thank you verymuch for your help
With 2 year contract it will be $499.99.
Without contract it will be $1049.99.
That off contract price scares me...

Best Buy always charges more for off-contract devices compared to carriers. Verizon will have the same $499 contract price, but off-contract they'll have the 128GB S6E for $899.

I hope so, or soon, because I need to switch my preorder from black to gold before launch. I tweeted BB Mobile today and they didn't have a date for Sprint gold variant.

I went on the Verizon website to check if gold was available, and it is. But.... when you place the order, it shows a shipping date of May 1st.... sigh...

I might just preorder this one. First time I've ever preordered. Now I just have to decide between black and gold.

Last phone I ever preordered was the HTC Incredible and it arrived a week early. Hoping for the same blunder in the warehouse lol.

Ended up ordering from Verizon for $150 less than Best Buy.
128GB S6 Edge Gold Platinum
Order Date: 4/2/15
Shipping date: 5/1/15
Carrier: Verizon
Shipping Method: 2 day
ETA: Possibly shipping around April 27th per big red employee. I have a feeling i will be looking for emails every single day in the hopes i get a shipment notification!!!!

Same here. Got it with shipping day for 05/01 but I'm thinking it will get shipped a few days short

Samsung is beautiful

I actually posted a bunch online saying I'd use this as an excuse to jump ship if Verizon decided to screw with me one more time by not offering the gold version. I still want it, but I'm pretty peeved that it's coming in May, since that timing is so iffy I might as well wait for the Note 5. I'm still debating, though I'm leaning heavily towards buying it.

've been struggling with whether to go White or Gold. I think I decided on White, but I do wonder about the 32GB vs 64GB vs 128GB. So my mentality is this, I definitely don't want to do 32GB so it's 64GB vs 128GB.
Is 128GB better? YES, of course. But I have a 64GB card and I think with one of those nifty Meenova devices (USB OTG to micro sd adapter), I could easily add any amount of data to the phone on the go.
Anyone else have a big reason for going 128GB? Because the price is insane at that level.

It depends on how much you plan on storing into your phone. I have my entire music catalog on my SD Card so i went with the 128GB. I also have a young daughter and i use my phone as my main camera so i wanted the extra memory. If you use streaming sites for music or store your pic/vids on a cloud based service you really do not need anything more than a 64GB. Just my opinion.

Those are valid points. I backup to the cloud but have about 10GB of pictures and video on my phone. I do stream my music mostly. So I think really I should be good. If I want to have movies or other things I could prob do the 64gb card via the dash micro adapter. But then Verizon gives $100 off so I feel like I could get 128GB for 64gb price. Lol

Note 7 Deal, Is It Really A Deal?

Now that we see different deals coming out from carriers, BOGO, $480 trade, 50% off, is the Note 7 offer really a deal or are we just being duped with marketing to buy from Samsung?
Should we voice our opinions to Samsung and try to get some reconciliation of some kind?
What do you all think?

I picked up an iphone 5S from Walmart for the trade in. Cost around $100. Bottom line is that I don't have to add a line I don't need to my TMO account along with loosing my grandfathered incredible account. Net cost is $605 and I get $100 worth of freebies as a pre-order. I think it is a great deal for former Note 7 owners.

The difference really is in the new line or adding line details. Still, since there is any deal for any carrier new line or add a line, 480 trade, 50%, or BOGO, shouldn't the Note 7 offer have been a little more than the rest...those who trade in the lesser of the phones for 425 is getting a better deal but if they are trading in the s8 or s7, att is better and sprint is 50% off with no trade...it doesn't really bother me, I was just curious how everyone feels about it...I like the Samsung deal because I own the phone, but Sprint lease has 20/month with trade ins that can bring it to 10/month as another posted for 240 total and paying at the end to own another 240...so 480 total...but the whole thing with monthly payments...is it really a savings?

I agree that it is not really a deal for Note 7 owners when I am trading in my Note 5 for $480. But that is the carriers, not really Samsung's fault.

The fact that people have been buying Note 7 emails and codes even though they didn't own one just to get in on the deal shows that it's a pretty good deal.
What I got from Samsung because of the Note 7 fiasco:
Free use of the Note 7 for 4 months (normally $37.50 a month to lease = $150 comped)
Free use of the loaner S7Edge for 5 months (another $32.59 a month = $165 comped)
Free 256gb memory card ($250)
Free Gear VR ($125?)
$425 off a note 8 after trade in ($425 - $75 to buy a brand new iphone 5s from straight talk = $350)
Free 360 camera ($250?)
That's already $1000+ of free stuff right there, and that's just from 1 Note 7 and 1 Note 8. Others got multiple Note 7s and 8s and probably got even more stuff.
I'm only familiar with the Tmo BOGO, so that's the one I can talk about. The Sprint leasing deal is pretty good though. $10? or $20? a month for a lease to own the Note 8. Only downside is you're tied to Sprint for 2 years.
For the TMo BOGO: It's great if you are need 2 lines and 2 Note 8s anyway (wife, buddy, group buy). But for those of us who need just 1 or not on TMo, the Samsung deal is easier to do. For the TMo BOGO you need to add a line ($10 a month until the prepaid card comes in), you have to wait several months to get your money, you have to pay full taxes for both phones, and you have to go through selling the 2nd phone and freebie if you only need one phone.
Yes, the Note 7 deal is part of marketing from Samsung, but they're also legitimately subsidizing money for that deal because you were a loyal Note user. What they didn't anticipate is that carriers are also willing to lose money and subsidize the Note 8 just to lock you into their network. Just be happy that all these corporations are willing to lose money just to keep us, as opposed to 10 years ago when carriers didn't care and blatantly screwed everyone because we had no choice but to bend over (Verizon is still that way today).

I grabbed a very near mint Galaxy S5 for $80, turn around and save $425 off the Note8. At the end of the day with the S5 trade in, selling the gear360 and selling my LG V20 I will walk away with the Note8 for around $260 (break down below) so I am pretty happy.
-$535.29 (buy Note8 with Note7 trade-in)
-$80 (buy s5 for trade-in)
=
-$615.29
-----------------------------------------------------
+$94 (Ebates)
+$80 (sell 360cam estimation)
+$200 (sell V20)
=
+$354
-----------------------------------------------------
$261.29 (total paid for Note8 in the end)
$985.79 full price (if bought outright, no deals/trade-ins)
$724.50 savings

Man, where did you find an S5 that cheap? I selected to send in a non-Samsung phone. According to chat, that's what I have to send in. Looking for a used V20, they're all in the $175-200 price range unless it's a bad IMEI.

Facebook Marketplace, lady wanted $100 and I offered $80 and met her that day. Phone is in excellent shape, crazy for how old it is. I'm selling my Verizon V20 for $200 to Walmart, they have a gadgets to gift cards department.

Yes, the older the cheaper just make sure it's on the Note7 promo trade-in list which the S5 is. The lady even left her 16gb SD card in the phone, can't have enough SD cards ?

Same place I got mine. He wanted $125.00 and settled for $50.00, said it's been sitting in his drawer for over two years. Looked at swappa first but I think they know about the Samsung trade in and aren't dealing.
