I've been thinking of getting the Nexus 6p as well for my very first smartphone ever. I haven't handled one yet but I ran into a coworker in the grocery store over the weekend and saw him pull his phone out of his pocket. The screen's high resolution display instantly drew my eye; so I asked him what kind of phone it was, and he turned it over and showed me the logo against its beautiful silver aluminum finish. I have to admit that I've been smitten with it ever since.
Still it's kind of hard to pay full price when it was just discounted this past Valentine's Day; however, there was a catch with that deal. The discount was only for the matte gold colored version and that maxed out at 64GB, which means if you wanted 128GB, you would have been paying $150 more at that time. Ouch. Still, it means that the 128GB one hasn't gone lower in price since its release, right?
It's hard not to go for the 128GB size if you want to try out the 4K video and take lots of pictures considering there's no expandable storage with the phone.
The Nexus 6 was launched in November 2014 starting at $649. After only one year, it was reduced to $350 in September 2015. A used one today ranges in price from $219 - $310 on Swappa. These phones drop in price so dramatically within such a very short time frame. I realize that a year is a long time in a phone's lifeycycle but that is a HUGE drop off. Unless of course, you want to support the product in general so it keeps getting made which is all good and welll; otherwise, how does one justify buying this phone at full price knowing it will probably drop to almost half off next year.
