[Q] Nexus6 Info

Hello,
I have seen that there is no difference between the 32GB and the 64GB model of Nexus6, except the internal memory. For 64GB model, the price is around $80 more (5000 INRs more). So which one would you recommend ? How much actual storage memory I will get for 32 GB ?
I have read the spec in the Google page for Nexus6, But I didn't see the info about RAM there. So How much RAM with the Nexus6 ?
Thanks.

3GB

okay, that's good. But what about the performance of the phone ? Some review in youtube says that the performance is not as good as the other phones in the market of the same price range (they mention Samsung Note4). Is that true ?
Thanks.

Benchmark scores maybe but real world usage, it would be unfair to say the nexus 6 was slower than the note 4. Many people who used both would disagree too.

I came to nexus 6 from note4, I was disappointed with the note tbh and iv had them all the only letdown on nexus is the expanded memory or should I say lack of it.

okay, maybe it is a wrong comment in the youtube video. How is the battery backup ? Is 3220 mAh gives more backup ?
Thanks.

THanks for the URL. One general question though.
Is Nexus6 the last phone in the Nexus series? I got this doubt as Nexus7, Nexus8 & Nexus9 are tablets.

But when ? I think it is by October 2015. There are rumours that Huawei is making Nexus 2015. But I think Motorola is better. What do you say ?

Poll: 64gb/6gb OR 128gb/8gb, which one did you buy?

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 :<

Note 9 India news, infos

So starting first thread of Note9
Guys please post latest info about availability of Note 9 Specifically in India
Currently in India only Pre-registration (Interest) started hopefully pre-book should start soon after lauching (9thAug18)
So got the device demo and checked following things
1.OEM Unlock available out of box on indian version
2.unfortunately infinity WP with animation while unlock is removed. Though I have checked sources on dump framework and it's partially removed so I still have hope for custom rom users
3.A/B seamless updates I don't found
4.treble support enabled
5.Dolby no much different from s9+ (I felt same like on my N8 ported rom)
6.Spen have option long press - open camera
While with single press some action according app opened
Camera - take picture
Gallery - next, double click previous
Same with music tracks
7.I couldn't confirm but according dealer, both SIM will work with LTE

Note 9 coming with Gear S3 for 4k extra ?
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app

I have a Note 8 and interested in what Samsung will offer to those wishing to upgrade. If the cost of the Note 9 works out to under 30k, after the buyback and cashbacks, I will surely be tempted to upgrade!

128 gb or 512 gb
What do you guys suggest......Is it worth spending 17k extra for 384 GB storage and 2 GB RAM.........
I am currently using S7 edge 128 GB version and have only 8-10 GB free on internal storage. If given an option, would want to keep max internal memory to avoid deleting any photos/videos from phone and get into hassles of managing it on memory card, but is paying extra 17k worth it. I am inclined towards going for 512 GB, Others ??

Unless you are rooted with TWRP, having extra space as internal storage is always pain. If anytime you need to factory reset on stock non rooted, you gonna lose everything, and we never know when device mess up and need to do factory reset. I prefer to have Ext SD to keep static data without bothering losing it (Though ext sd can corrupt but no nothing is forever lol !)
I won't pay extra for just storage. RAM I believe also enough with 128GB

Rooting from day 1 or as and when root is available is obvious. And i had a lot of memory cards going kaput. Logically it doesn't make sense to pay 17k for storage, but emotionally inclined towards 512 GB

Preorder offers currently, are as as lame as S9/S9+ offers when first launched. Within a few weeks it'll be much more attractive for sure.

S9 plus preorder offer was with 6k cashback(some credit cards/payTM) with no additional offer. Within weeks it became 9k cashback and later offered with one time screen replacement and 9k cashback.
...
Till s8/s8+, the offers included cashback, goodies and screen replacement offers. B4 S6 it was with steep price cuts almost every month..... Samsung's strategy.

I have pre booked midnight black 128gb
Probably will get on 19th

I currently have note 8. I'm thinking of pre booking midnight black note 9 (512 gb/8 gb). Can't decide if I should do it now (Samsung website) or wait for offline pre booking/availability through Samsung smartcafe.

Already started offline, I have prebooked with shop only

Pre-booked ocean blue 128gb from Samsung website, just wondering if I'll be able to use it with 2017 gear vr. Anyone has any idea if it'll be possible?

I checked the upgrade option in the My Galaxy app and I am getting a quote of Rs 38550 for my Note 8. This includes the Rs 6000 exchange bonus. So the 128GB Note 9 will work out to 29350.
Now the big question -- is it worth it?
Also, is 38,550 a good price for a one year old Note 8 without any scratches or issues? Or will I get a better price if I sell it directly to some shop or on Cashify?

Very much subjective. If we think, we are losing almost half amount for one year old device when we selling it but that's also true, we don't get more money than this. Here two things are important
1.If you look for budget, think your self what you are getting extra with 30K? If you convince yourself then go for it else leave.
2.No issue of budget and you are crazy, then go for it.

On top of this hdfc credit card cash back offer eligible ?
Wish option was there to buy gear s3 Frontier...

Hello guys, I'm planning to buy note 9 in exchange of my 4 months old S9 plus 128 GB version. My galaxy app is showing me an exchange price of 47,750. Should I go for it? It Will be my first note device bdw ?
Though it has same 9810 exynos processor as s9+ can I expect something different? Would've loved SD 845 instead.

Are we getting gear s3 or gear sport for 4999? Yesterday it was s3 but today it is showing gear sport. Am I missing something?

How fast is the 512gb version vs 128gb

Hey guys quick question. Can you post some benchmarks of the 512gb version and the 128gb version? I curious if there is any performance gain with the 2 extra go of memory. There isn’t anything like that on YouTube. I appreciate it.

Both phones will be fast as hell. The extra 2 gig ram means that you can essentially have more apps open at the same time and I have noticed a slightly zippier performance compared to my 6gb s9 plus

Thanks for replying Mikey. Both of those phones the S9+ and Note 9 have the same cpu, correct?

Correct. You would hard tell the difference. The s9 can be found as an A Grade refurb online for less than £500 here in the UK if you hunt about. That's over half the price of the N9 for essentially the same real world performance...

That was one of Zeedomax's arguments from his YouTube channel High on Android. He was basically saying the SD845 has been out since the S9 introduction and technically Samsung shouldn't be selling the note9 as much as it is, since the chips are now 6 plus months old and cheaper to buy.

Well there's no s-pen, which is why you buy a Note, so... Not the same performance to me. I get what you're trying to say, but I cannot comprehend why anyone would go for the Note9 without wanting a stylus.

It's $159 over S9+ for: double storage, larger battery, stylus with Bluetooth, a screen capable of understanding 4096 pressure sensitivity levels, and a slightly better, brighter screen at that. How is that $159 jump not justified? I don't get it. That's a ton of extra stuff. Just because people don't use the stylus and special screen, doesn't mean they aren't costs. And larger battery and double storage alone is "worth that" for many.

yes even the 6GB Note 9 version is faster than the 6GB S9 plus version.

Picking up my 128 today from Best Buy. Seems like almost everyone is buying the 512 even if it’s not needed. I don’t really think there’s a huge difference between 6 or 8gb of ram for daily usage.

Essentially no there is not a major real world difference. However there are probably power users on here where the extra ram and the 512 would be useful

One word Merica. The place where bigger numbers equals more sales. Example Mercedes Benz, 500sel , yet here it was one labeled a 550 sel or something . Perception of the market.

ASUS ROG Phone 2 Ultimate Edition

Is it worth waiting for the Ultimate edition or is it just the same as the normal 512gb with double the storage?
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It also has a faster CAT 20 modem (not sure if that would translate to a real world performance increase) and a matte finish on the back. I'm thinking of making use of the 4k and slow motion video abilities, so that extra storage may be worth it to me depend on the price difference in the U.S.. Based on the UK prices, it's roughly a $300 difference.

Wonder if it has different cell bands?

They could have added more Ram on the ultimate model or a 4K screen.
To me it seems like the extra storage is the main difference.
LTE performance is not the main priority since we will be using WiFi most of the time.
Isn't the China model matte black in color?
The regular global model is glossy black right?

That would've been no more overkill than the current specs! Lol.
The RAM may become beneficial if you keep it Long term. I'm happy with the 1080p screen. Anything higher and I wouldn't see any difference. Heck, on my V20, I have to look really hard to tell the difference between 720p and 1080p videos.

Yeah but to justify the extra cost, they should have added more.
Now some would rather buy an accessory than paying more for the extra storage.

The regular "elite" global version has 12 GB of RAM too. The China Tencent version is the only one with 8 GB RAM

The Elite edition adds, comparing to Tencent (china) Edition, the Aero-Case, the Cooling Fan, a pair of in-ear speakers, more ram (12Gb) and more rom (512Gb).
The Ultimate edition adds, comparing to Elite Edition, the matte black colour on the back (Elite one is glossy), more rom (1Tb) and its internal modem will let a LTE connection to reach its download to 2Gbps.
Elite it's 899Euros, Ultimate it's 1199Euros. I don't think it's Worth it, since you will use a protective case. They should have added the joypads to the bundle, and I think more than one person would have brought it.

More Ram? lol like 12gb is enough.
Do agree that the should have thrown in the pads as they are overpriced as it is.
