Guesses on Availability and Play Store Price for GNex after Nexus 4 Released?

**xdalaw** · 10-26-2012, 01:47 PM

Just looking for some educated guesses on the following:

Do you think the Play Store will continue to sell the GNex once the Nexus 4 is announced/released? If so, do you think it would be discounted more than it currently sells for?

I have a new/international GNex coming from the DailySteals deal a couple of weeks ago. (Under $325. delivered.)

But, they're delayed and won't ship till early next week, and it's not too late to cancel if I wanted.

I like the GNex (I have the Sprint one, which will go to my wife, and I most like that it's within my current budget), but am not sure if I should cancel, wait a week or two and see if Google discounts the Play Store price which would give me the USA warranty.

I don't think I'll bother, but just wondering if others had other opinions.

Thanks.

i think it will still be same price since the nexus 4 would be priced higher than $350.

may be it will sell but might drop price to $300

That was kind of what I was thinking.

I hope it's still availible at the Play Store after the 29th. I'm waiting to see if they will drop the price before I pull the trigger on buying two of them.

We'll find out soon. I don't think anyone aside from Google really knows that answer. We will know soon enough. It may depend on how much inventory they have. I doub't the current Gnex is in production anymore.

I don't think anyone has a very educated guess at this point. If the Nexus 4 is anywhere near $349, the Galaxy Nexus will likely be sold out of its current stock and discontinued. I see no reason for them to waste money continuing to produce them if the Nexus 4 is that cheap. At some point the cost of components for the old device will actually go up, as no other devices need them and they become a limited run.

All will be revealed Monday though.
