Would love to see Google offer some kind of trade-in program for Nexus devices, whereby you could trade in your old Nexus device for a discount on a newer Nexus device. For example, being able to trade in a current gen Nexus 7 to get a discount on the updated version expected to be announced at Google I/O this week. Discount would only be redeemable for buying another device from the Play Store, and old devices could be recycled by Google for parts.
Google would develop brand loyalty, ensuring current Nexus owners are more likely to stick with the Nexus line, as well as encouraging others to join the Nexus bandwagon. And we Nexus owners would get lovely discounts on upcoming Nexus hardware.
What do you guys think about this?
As someone who ordered a Nexus 4 yesterday, I would most certainly love to see this.
Especially if a new Nexus phone materialises at the I/O in a few days!

No chance imo
How much more of a discount do you want? This isn't the Galaxy Nexus or Nexus S days where to buy an off contract Nexus device sets you back $500-$600.. A Nexus 4 16GB for $350 unlocked/contract free is dirt cheap and almost in "how do they even make a profit?" territory.. If Verizon had this thing available to kill your wallet with it would be $100 w/ a 2YR contract, $600 retail/contract free and neutered w/ delayed updates and non-functioning Google wallet. Same goes for any current generation Nexus device.. They are insanely cheap already..

Personally, I'd be happy with somewhere between £25-£50.
Then again, I'm easily pleased.

you can sell youself for more then any trade-in program can give you. i sold my 8G N4 for $340 shipped. (shipping out tomorrow)

And this also
Had a real hard time trying to sell my Nexus 7 at a decent price after Google discontinued the 8GB model (I had the 8GB model). A trade-in program would've made things awesome
Would definitely also give some points to brand loyalty, but then again, I don't really even plan to ever buy a non-Nexus device already
Sell it on swappa. There's your trade in program

Nexus phones don't really reduce it value a lot after time. It's really difficult nowadays to find a new Gnex for less than 250-270$ and a used one in mint conditions for less than 200 (if you even find it).
So I see no point on this as Google will never offer you any amount close to this. So you better sell it yourself and upgrade. That's what I did.

I'll gladly pay you 50 pounds for your Nexus 4.
Well You Kinda Knew It Was Going To Happen..
When Google announced their " Silver Line " of products.. and these new products were going to go main stream retail and now it seems with the Big Four carrier's as well.. that, the price of entry was going to go up.
But an 83% increase in price over the 16 Gb entry model and roughly 62% over the 32 Gb version of the previous Nexus 5 to a whopping $650.00+ Tax.
And.. I'm sure the carrier's will offer the N6 @ $199.99 down with a commitment.. ( T-Mobile of course will go $0.00 down and 24 equal payments ) but you know the carrier versions will come with bloatware.. and will AT&T , Verizon and Sprint lock them down like they did their versions of the LG-G3 which all but halted development for that device on those carrier's?
If you can still get a *bloat free* version of the N6 directly from Google.. are you willing to pony up $650.00+ Tax & Shipping cost for the Nexus 6?

I am pretty sure they will do the same like Motorola and keep the price relatively low

$650.00 is the price..
I'm in Canada, and it's 750$. It's a little too steep for me. I'll hold off for as long as my Nexus 4 is still relevant.
Price of the phones here are pretty much all the same anyway (mostly $600+) so I'm used to that [emoji19]
But the N6 looks like a direct competitor to the Note4… Hmm hard decision.

Nope I'm not paying
Nope. Was hoping to buy the 64gb one, but $700 is too much for me on a phone. I might have paid $600. Some day maybe, when the resale price drops. Hopefully there's no supply/production issues, and new resales don't get inflated like they did with the OnePlus One.
Bought a used Note 3 off Swappa for $350 instead. T-Mobile one too, so at least I can root it easily and if I get flash-happy and feel like setting the KNOX counter to 0x1, at least I can try some ROMs and kernels.
I've seen it live, it's an amazing phone! It feels great in hands and it's moving like the wind on the web and apps!
I'm still hoping the new and/or "cheaper" companies will push into the western market and stop this inflational pricing, like the Moto G or OnePlusOne
definitely won't pay 500 bucks or more for a phone
If I had the money I would have not paid $650 even for a Nexus phone plus this is too much considering I could get a phone with almost the same specs half of the price. I'll just get a Nexus 5 or Nexus 9(depending on the price)
650USD...That's about 500 Euro.
Do you lot realize that's what the Nexus 5 cost when they finally managed to import it to the Netherlands, several bloody months after the release?...
Ths Nexus 6 doesn't even have a price here yet, but if you think 640 is bad, the average price for a high-end smartphone here is 800 euro, 1025USD.
So yes, I would happily pay 500 euro for it. If it had a MicroSD slot, anyway.

It's hard decision to make, I have a Nexus 4 and skipped N5 for N6, but completely in splits right now. There is no official info on price here in India, but 650 USD translates to Rs. 39,750 and 699 USD means Rs. 42,750, I guess there will be local taxes, if I consider other flagships, S5 Exynos is down at Rs. 37,000, G3 at Rs. 40,000, Z3 is at Rs. 49,999, so taking these into consideration the asking price for N6 is okayish, but when I consider the reported OPO launch in India at the end of the year at Rs. 22,000 and the Moto X (2014) at Rs. 31,999.. I am not able to make my mind up.. both of these are great devices and they will eventually get Lollipop.
PS: I almost forgot the monstrous Lenovo Vibe Z2 here with 801, 3GB, 16MP OIS Cam, a 6" QHD Screen and a healthy 400 mAh battery available at Rs. 32,999/- Its hard decision to make!
Short answer: Hell no.
Long answer: Considering how expensive new smartphones are, its no surprise how expensive the N6 is. Some rather rich people or Nexus fans will get it, but I have never bought a smartphone over €300.-
My current phone, the Z Ultra, fulfills everything I want and I bought it for only €250.- 3 months ago. The difference between Snapdragon 800 and 805 are not that big, at least in everyday use.
Well, at least I hope this nexus will have a better quality and purchase availability.
Considering that the new nexus is 6 coll, well...
My Z ultra isnt that out of standard anymore.

^ this. I still own a GNexus, skipped n4/n5 for a n6 (to be honest, 6 was not meant as "6 inch display" but as n5 successor)
I think I will get a One Plus Two (?) or something like that
Willing? Yes
Able? HAH! :laugh:
not really
Paying that much for a device, which decreases in price pretty quickly is like buying a new car: if you really like it and you won't get buyers remorse, feel free. Not for me, though.
The price is a bit high.
What I really don't like about the Nexus 6 is the long hole below, it looks too much like a Moto and it just doesn't look good with it.
Price in Norway is $865 for the 32GB version.
Hopefully the price will go down a bit when it's available in the Play store and other stores here.
No
Question :
I am moving form nexus 5 to nexus 6 and my friend has offered me the 32GB version for $500 CAD including cases .
It is a one month device . What do you guys think ? Wait for nexus 5 2015 or is the above a good price ?
Google has a $150 off on a brand new Nexus6 and totals down to $677 CAD.
Please advise ..
Check swappa for going rate. Sounds OK to me though.
Hello Everyone,
I am having a hard time deciding on what to do here. Here are my options:
A: Upgrade my current Sprint line to the Nexus 6 for $0.00 today, free activation and free overnight shipping!
B: Pre-Order the Nexus 6P for $500+ out of pocket today and have it essentially cost me $120 more a year. (Sprint Unlimited Plan is going from $60 to $70 October 16th)
I have to stay with Sprint. Looking at options A and B it really only seems logical to go with A... lol. Anyways...
I am looking for Pros and Cons for the Moto Nexus 6 vs the Nexus 6P.
Any and all input on this would be appreciated! Thank you for your time!
PS: This will be my first Android Phone. I have been an iPhone user since the 3GS! I currently have an iPhone 6 and I am just sick of my boring A$$ iPhones! After doing a bunch of research and such I decided that I really want a Nexus Device! I just can't decide between the Nexus 6 or the Nexus 6P.
Unless you absolutely need to have USB-C or biometric unlock, save your money. The N6 is still a very capable device.
Ooh and 6p doesn't have wireless charging...

Not quite sure what the implications on your sprint plan is, but I wouldn't get the N6 from Sprint. Amazon has them for sub $400. I just bought the 64gb warehouse deal for $339. I know sprint is listing them for over $600 and you'll pay every bit of that though easy pay too. IMO saving $150+ by going with the N6 is the better decision.
Are you on a contract type plan with sprint still?
I personally love my Nexus 6. The convenience of wireless charging overrides any USB type-c in my opinion since I have 100 USB cables that work great already. I also like my motorola, as I was a huge fan of the Moto X line the Nexus 6 fits many criteria in one. But its your phone get what best suits you.
I already have the N6, but my wife is looking for a new phone. She's choosing the N6P, mainly because she feels that the original N6 is to clunky. Looking at side by side pictures the N6P looks quite sleek...
The only real difference between the two that are noticeable right away are the finger print scanner on the back, and USB C charging. I have a Nexus 6 and I will tell you, this phone charges fast as hell with it's fast charge feature and it makes the USB C charging seem gimmicky. For the price, I would say go for a Nexus 6! And someone already mentioned the Amazon price that's quite low right now, opinion of course, but I would say the real deal breaker here is if you REALLY want a finger print scanner or can live without it. I love my Nexus 6!
EDIT: You're coming from an iPhone? Welcome to the world of Android, you're making a much better choice!

Also want to say, since you're coming from iPhone, you're making a good choice going with the Nexus platform over one of the vendors (Samsung, LG, etc) IMO. While they make great phones, I think vanilla android is the best form. I cannot stand how the other mfgs load their phones up with just crap. I have an LG now that I love, but it's unlocked and running vanilla android
If you get into unlocking and rooting your phone, there's so much you can do with it but it's also a great experience stock.
I pulled the trigger on the Nexus 6! I've always wanted a phone with a big screen so I know I am going to love it! I spent an hour on the phone with Sprint and got them down to $500! I just explained to the supervisor that it is a year old phone and you can buy it directly from Google for $500. I still got charged the full $648-$48 instant discount =$600. $0 down installment billing through easy pay. But he issued me $100 credit to make up for it! They are also buying my iPhone 6 back for $385 so I will have a $485 credit on my account. I won't have to pay my bill for 6 months! HaHa! He also waived activation and gave me free two day shipping. I feel I did pretty well! Cost me nothing up front! I probably could have gotten more from selling my iPhone solo but the fact that it's a Sprint model would have made it a lot harder and taken forever. Plus it has a few scratches on it and such so $385 is plenty enough in my opinion. Amazons for $350 are a good deal but they say no Sprint/Verizon for some reason. In my area it is Verizon or Sprint. GSM is not an option! No AT&T or T-Mobile coverage at all!
I can't wait to get it! This is the first time I have bought an Android and this is the first time I bought a year old phone! I have always got the latest iPhone upon release. It was kind of hard for me to eat that I was getting year old tech, but I really wanted the 6" display and I wanted a Nexus device. (For some reason I always think I have to have the latest and greatest even though I am far from a power user) With 3GB ram and a Snapdragon 805 I am sure I will enjoy it for a while. As long as I get 2 years out of it I will be happy!

Congrats! You'll love android. And while this may be a year old phone, it's still arguably top of the line. The SD 808 and 810 are not clearly better than the 805, especially with the 810's thermal issues. Take good care of it and you should see 2 years easy out of the phone.
And besides, you can always trade early for next year's Nexus
Edit: BTW I love your avatar...perfect for someone coming from iPhone to their first Android
Awesome dude! Android is a much better mobile OS! It does so much more than iOS! And I'm a believer in the Nexus line! Other phones are alright, but like someone said, loaded with useless crap! Nexus is the way to go!

Yes sir!!
Hey all,
My Nexus 6 took a fall and the screen shattered . It was manageable but just this morning the screen leaked, if you will. It kind of looks like someone dropped ink all over it and I cant see or use over half my screen. So I called my carrier (Sprint) and Motorola and it's going to be roughly $200 to replace the screen. Now my question is: Is it worth replacing the screen, or should I spend extra money and upgrade?
I've been looking at the 5X and especially the OnePlus 2. The specs on the OnePlus when compared to Nexus 6 really caught my eye. (4GB RAM, ever-so-slightly larger battery, fingerprint scanner, etc) and the price point is justifiable for me.
I activated my old HTC EVO Design until I can get this sorted out, and its really making me want to sort it out fast!
EDIT:
Looks like the OnePlus 2 doesn't work with Sprint. Oh well...
Thanks for any help/input,
-EFJ
I wouldn't pay $200 to get the screen replaced. You can get a new N6 from Amazon for 250. The Moto X Pure is also a good option.

200?? Motorola will replace/fix your device with no warranty for 175.
I had then same situation not that long ago(few weeks) and I was asked the same ammount(but in GBP)..
Though with my bank account I was able to send it through insurance and got the screen replaced for £25..
The **** now for you is the amount of money they ask... Have you thought in going to one of those Indian shops and see if they can fix it for you for a cheaper price?? In any case, I would go for the Nexus 5x. Better quality and Google updates...
