I'm in the same boat as you with my Nexus 5. I was excited for the Pixel but at $1,000 CAD for the 32GB that does nothing particularly special I cancelled my pre-order.
What my current plan of action is to find something of last-gen and ride it out for another year. I'm okay spending $300-$400 on something that I'll probably flash a custom ROM into and recycle in a year's time when another round of flagships are announced. Unless there's some segment of the market that's eating the Pixel up the general reception I've been seeing hopefully clues Google into what people were looking for (Nexus iteration)
- gegtik 10y agoI've been hanging onto a samsung s4 loaner waiting for the pixel reveal. at CDN$1200 for the flagship, I have to balk. The oneplus 3 is less than half the price. I can have a very good phone for $520 and save the "leftover" money to purchase the OP5 in 2018 which will probably trump the XL. I think Google's following this strategy to show they're just as valuable as apple from a mobile device perspective, but they lost me. With the mid-range high-quality chinese phones available i can't justify flagship prices anymore
- soyiuz 10y agoI am in the same boat (of waiting to update my Nexus 5, which I love dearly). What do you think of Moto Z Play---unlocked version coming at the end of the month? Inexpensive, a giant battery, USBC, quick charge, and reasonable price.
- seanalltogether 10y agoI think we're the same person :) I too have a nexus 5 that I'd been hoping to upgrade to a pixel, but after the released price yesterday I simply can't justify it. I ended up ordering a 32g Nexus 5x yesterday from newegg for $280 USD.
