If I want to buy a stock Android device, I'm close to Apple's device range (exaggeratively spoken). Also, I no longer have the time and nerves to Jailbreak or Root my device and install custom Roms, and if I pay up to 700$ for a devices it should work and get me at least 2 years worth of updates.
Not everything is bad though. Apple is working on their device portfolio and the Android update policy has significantly improved, since I last used an Android device full-time.
- JohnTHaller 12y agoA brand new base Nexus 5 16GB is only $349 direct and unlocked. A far cry from the $649 that the base iPhone 6 16GB costs. The Nexus 6 is more a competitor to the iPhone 6 Plus (screen size and all) and is priced appropriately. It's $699 for 64GB compared to the iPhone 6 Plus at $849 for 64GB. The base models of each are a bit cheaper as well, $749 for an iPhone 6 Plus 16GB and $649 for a Nexus 6 32GB. As a premium phone, the Nexus 6 is unavailable in the small 16GB size. Both the Nexus 5 and the Nexus 6 will be getting updates for quite some time. Neither one requires rooting or a custom ROM of any sort.
