Title: Anyone selling/own a Nexus 5X?
Post by: Decoded on May 10, 2016, 10:13:31 PM
I'm highly considering purchasing one. Is anyone selling a 32gb one in factory new condition with shipping to Australia under a total of $380?

Or if anyone owns one, do they have any opinions on it

Thanks,
Decoded

Unfortunately I do not. But I bought a preordered a 6P, and let me tell you... You will love either of the two phones. They are top notch.  :)

I own one, and have been quite happy with it. I use Google's Project Fi service with it, so I was able to get the $150 off (would make the 32GB phone only USD$249 if you can get that deal in Australia... Even if not, you can order the phone only for USD$399 from Google themselves (though I'm not sure that they do international shipping... I'd expect that they would, but that's just a guess)).

More to the point, I have been very satisfied with the 5X, especially at the price I paid for it ($249 for a 16GB model). The phone itself is a bit lighter-weight than I expected, but the build quality is solid - it is lightweight but doesn't seem flimsy. Camera/photo quality has been great, screen is nice and bright. Newest android OS isn't laggy in the slightest. Overall, I'd rate it as the best low-cost smartphone I've had so far. The unlocked multi-carrier capability is great too. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend one to just about anyone.

Absolutely the best phone for that price. I am feeling huge pain that amazon is not giving 62% discount for Nexus 5 (not 5X) on .co.uk and only .com, definitely would buy one for that price.. Nexus series are probably the leaders of smartphones at the moment

Thanks. I've decided towards getting it. I'm $30 away from getting it, so in two weeks I'll have a brand new phone! The one im currently using suffers from phantom touches, too :(

I can get a 16gb one of Kogan for $320 AUD, and a 32gb one for $400 AUD with free shipping, so I guess that would be the best bet for me.

Decoded i checked locally the price of this phone and it's around 350€ + shipping to Australia (don't know how much is it), if you are interested let me know, but i think that you got better deals online.

Is that the 32gb? Because if it's the 16gb, hah. $320 AUD no extra shipping costs is what I can get here. Shipping's about 15€ afaik.

Still, I can get the 32gb for $420, which is is alot less than 365€

Unfortunately it is the 16gb one, i will check tomorrow the 32GB model but i think it will not be cheaper than ~$420. I wish you good luck finding one, i had it on my hands and it's a good phone, much better than nexus 5.

I bought the 5x and 5x case during the google black friday deals, really love both. I would highly recommend. Imo the size of the phone is perfect and it feels solid but light, never had any performance/lag/etc issues and marshmallow runs great. also my first phone with the fingerprint scanner which is awesome to use as your unlock
