Rumored prices leaked a few days ago

$599
$449


Thats also probably for a 32gb variant. The 64 and 128gb will jump in price well above last years models. My 128 6p was 599. These will be quite a bit higher price wise. Good thing is they will have expandable storage, so the smaller on board memory wont be that big of an issue.

According to a Nexus blog, the prices of the next Google Nexus 2016 phones seem to be confirmed as well, however, this cannot be guaranteed. If this materializes, though, the Google Nexus 2016 Marlin will come in at a price of $599 while its Sailfish counterpart will be priced at $499. These prices are for the 32GB base models, meaning the 64GB or 128GB variants will be priced even higher.

Just to jog your memory, the Google Nexus 6P was launched at a price of $499 for the base model of 32GB. The 64GB was priced at $549 whereas those after the top-end 128GB model had to fork out $649. As for the smaller Nexus 5X, it came in with two storage variants of 16GB and 32GB, where the base model launched at $379 and the 32GB model at $429.






What REALLY grinds my gears are the huge arse bezels without front firing speakers. Really HTC?


ETA- negative on the expandable storage. Was an inaccurate rumor that was passed by me. Internal only in 32 64 128.

I guess my 5x is fried. It won't read the sim card.

I thought last year's nexuses (nexi?) did not have expandable storage. Why do you think these will?

Looks like an iPhone.

That's a really solid phone though. It will be popular in the tech crowd.

They are doing a good job keeping quiet on Marlin. Hopefully it's a beast.

Latest rumors today say late September releases shipping with Android 7.1.

I would be excited if the Marlin has dual front firing speakers, but i won't hold my breath. It is just really weird how we have pretty solid confirmation of the Sailfish, but no renders or leaks of the Marlin.

Yep, hopefully a reason.

Give me dual front speakers and a Snapdragon 821 and I'll preorder.

However it's gonna have the 820 and probably a bottom shite speaker in which case I'll stay with my 6P until next year.

They won't. My bad. I researched more into what I was told and it was just a debunked rumor.

I am still rocking an N4, the screen is cracked but still completely usable, as of today.

I would love to get the newest Nexus but doubt the N4 will hold out until October.

When is the 6p going to go on sale? Currently they are running $450 at Best Buy for the 64gb. 32 GB is more expensive for some reason.

Should I pull the trigger at $450 or is there a chance they drop even more in the next few weeks?

About once a week there is a deal on slickdeals.net for $350 to $400 for 64 gb new. Nothing on there right now, but set up a deal alert and you can get one probably soon for <$400.

I don't mind the bigger bottom bezel. Pushes the nav bar into a more comfortable position to reach with your thumb.

You're kidding. I just paid 500 for the 32. I'm taking it back tomorrow. I already said that I didn't like the kid behind the counter.

And you knocked me for asking 500 for my 128gb but you went and dropped 500 on a 32gb? Best Buy has the 128gb listed for 499 on their website.
