It's all in the title.

 

Oneplus One is not an option. I live in Canada so it comes around 500 CAD$.

 

Thanks for your replies!

Welcome to the forum! Please remember to follow your topics!

 

1) no micro sd slot

2) no removable battery

3) LG G2s can be found for cheaper sometimes and don't have the above issues, as well as being a bit faster

4) it isn't dual sim

 

That's pretty much it, there aren't any other downsides that I know of.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Very good point about the G2 but I kinda like fast updates from google and I hate cyanogenmod i'm using it on my Galaxy S3.

 

My S3 is starting to show its age. Its overheating all the time so it's throttling the phone to the point it's pretty much useless :P

Have you converted that to CAD $ ? by taxes you mean the money DHL collected ?

Im pretty sure that the 16gb is out of production, as, well the 64gb has a much higher demand.

Nexus 5 or OPO?

 

For my Nexus 5 it was Canadian dollars. I don't know what company delivered it as my brother was the one who picked up the package when I wasn't home, however I was not charged any delivery taxes aside from just regular shipping cost. 

 

$350 for the phone + $17 shipping + GST (5% in Alberta) for me.

Get a year Brazzers subscription. It's a lot cheaper and you'll get much more pleasure out of it.

Ok guys I think I gotta feel it in my hands... I'll go to the bell store right now pretend I'm interested in a new phone.

 

I'll then feel it in my hands and tell them it's not a Samsung so I don't want it.

 

Finally, I'll come home and order it on the play store.

If you look at benchmarks it scores a bit better even if it has the same cpu. Probably due to its ram or software optimization, but there you have it.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨
