Nexus was originally attractive due to cheapass pricing with good hardware. It's history now and no wonder that it no longer attractive as it once were.

Nexus 5 2013 with 32GB priced at $399

Nexus 5X - 2 years later with marginal increase to $429 factored in inflation rate, etc

It's not bcos of Google pricing.  It's the damn ringgit value that hike up the price!!!

Well, I wouldnt say Nexus5x is attractive at any price level given the hardware.

That's your ignorance of how a nexus device can be played around and its latest stock android experience

Chasing hardware spec is a endless game

For N6P to be priced starting from $499 with that kind of build material and tech spec, it is more convincing as compared to last year N6 which started with ridiculous price.

At least it's convincing to those not earning ringgit

LOL

Chasing hardware is not important then why do you upgrade? Stick you Nexus 4 or 5 also enough lor since they are still eligible for Android update.

I have Note 2, the lag is horrible. Not tried Note 5, and also demo display is a poor example of Note 5 performance.

note 1 and note2 remain 2 of few shitty samsung device i ever had. others are galaxy s4 and normal galaxy s5. none of them lasted more than 3 weeks with me.

s6 onwards (s6, s6 edge, note5) are good enough in terms of performance. in fact i rated my s6 and note 5 better than my nexus 6.

LoL... I don't think it was that lousy when you bought them. Please compare with the same generation.

Most of the ordinary users will not appreciate nexus smartphone.

design not appealing, only inside is pretty...

brand also not-so popular...

Nexus got what appeal? I can't think of any other than pricing.

Personally the only memorable thing I get from my Nexus 10 was photosphere.

-First in-line for update
-Latest firmware update for 2 years or more
-Availability of custom rom/kernel
-Many support from dev
-clean stock android
-price

Nexus always been for Android enthusiast who love to flash custom rom/kernel, make the battery runs longer etc. That what makes Nexus brand special.

Dont you think that once you choose this, all the rest are irrelevant?

That's strange I always thought Nexus line was to get the earliest Android and without all the bloatwares.

Personally I find being first in line has pros and cons. That's why I always wait before updating a new version. After updating, you need app developers to keep up.

I got too excited with ios9 and updated 2 of my ipad. Luckily still left one able to watch astro on the go. Same goes for my nexus 10.

This N6P bender said " No other youtuber can seem to bend the Nexus 6p, however "JerryRigEverything " always seems to do it with ease. Today I will share with you his secret!
View it and judge yourself !

Many people can't take criticism. Personally I think if the phone broke just like that, something is definitely wrong with the design. Of course it shouldn't have been or wasn't designed for such test one might argue but regardless of that, it really shouldn't broke into two pieces just like that. Even the side aluminium frame was ripped into half.

Yeah, it wasn't a deal breaker. I think many failed to take the positive like Jerry in sense that he said he did this to reveal the flaws so that these mnc would not do the same mistakes again or just simply cutting corners and present what appear to be a unibody but isn't really the case.
