On those live in delusional and denial will continue to bash China brands.

I support ur views.

may I ask, why there must be 2 nexus this year?

and from different brand.

it's android phone suddenly overprice or our currency drop like tahi?

Just placed my 128 GB ( Silver)  unit from Techbug. I had purchased from him before for my ex Nexus 5 . I can say he is a trusted and reliable seller
Now the wait begin for its arrival !!

Heard a lot good things from Techbug since Nexus 5 days. How much he charge for 128 and 64?

My brother is in the states and will be flying back this month. I'm thinking of getting him to buy a 6p back for my use. Is it as simple as buying in there and bringing it along with him on the flight? What complications should I look for? Sirim? Import tax etc etc? Thanks

if note5 js slightly more expensive with better spec and at least in Malaysia hv better service support, why wanna consider china brand phone?

nexus 6p looks nice and great, but the price is quite off (and thanks to depreciation of ringgit also, but alas, note5 with current ringgit value only a tad more expensive).

No problem usually for 1-2 units. Just unsealed the box and take off phone packaging and if asked just said is for personal usage. Unlikely it will be hold by custom and if indeed hold apply Sirim permit ( RM 100) and pay 6% GST on phone invoice value. GST if brought in through courier company one will need pay directly to courier company . With personal bringing in, probably pay to airport customs ??
Buying sets from USA make sure is unlocked set and not tied to telcos

I thought if you just checked in the phones in your luggage bag, you won't be asked about any of these questions right?

Watching the live stream on Youtube and Ars Technica and several rumor post before the event, Both Nexus devices got me worried.

I don't know if it's either their specs was made to have users fully use its Google Play services which explains why there's no removable battery and microSD card slot which is not ideal for us power user. Or it was intentionally made to fullfill US phone standard (Apple obviously).

Nonetheless, it looks like 5x and 6p would be great for people who can afford large data plan and not worry about storage and stuff. But for me, it turns me off on some aspect, and made the nexus 5 and 6 a better alternative.

These phones lack what the NEXUS series offer - quick updates on latest Google firmware and numerous roms/kernels flash-ability options. This is always the reason why I would like to buy a Nexus

A thumbs up from Android Authority of N6P vs N6

Everyone has their own preference. Note 5 is launched locally and Samsung has major presence all around the world. Huawei partnered with Google to build a Nexus phone.

Nexus products are in a different class because they are there to show off the SOFTWARE. Samsung is more for the hardware. They are improving on software but can never be on par with the Nexus because of the "1st-in-line" tag for Nexus-es. This hasn't been the case because I believe this year there was a case where Lollipop was launched for the Motorola phone (I can't remember clearly) first before a Nexus but previously, yes, Nexus = #1 in line for updates.

As for the price, you're comparing products that have to be bought directly from the US and shipped over. With our increasing exchange rate (depending on when you click the buy button, your credit card will charge a different rate), these Nexus phones WILL be more expensive than the Samsungs for a while. Samsungs on the other hand have the luxury of bulk buying (one exchange rate for a stock of 10k or more?) between their entities to sell to the local distributors and probably discount on shipping and whatever other charges. Nexus phones, unless launched here, do not.

Just look at the Nexus 6. It was what, around RM 2.6k(?) when DirectD brought it officially through Brightstar. Now that the 6P has launched, the price is RM 1.4k or so.  It's really simple, if the phone is not to your liking, say so and move on. No one is shoving it down your throat to buy it.
