Nexus 6 or 1+1?

[Morpheus]

getting a new phone, can't really decide which to get right now. Keep in mind that if I get the nexus 6, I'll be getting it with a contract so it'll end up being around $200 upfront not $649. The 1+1 is $349. What are your thoughts?

$200 for a contract vs $350 outright? Definitely outright.

[ROK]

I'd get a nexus 6 over the OPO.

[OriginalPromise]

Neither, Note 4/S5.

 

But If I had to chose, I would get the Nexus.

you misunderstood, I was saying that the nexus 6 will cost me around $200. the oneplus one will cost $349

[Jade]

Neither, Note 4/S5.

'cept you know, some people don't like TouchWiz.

 

Nexus 6, imo.

any particular reason for note 4?

[dizmo]

I'd go Nexus 6. Considering that the OnePlus will cost you a lot more than $350.

Eh, there aren't a ton of companies that offer BYOD plans that are decent.

Sigh... But I do...

It's definitely getting better,

I'm in Canada and my provider gives reasonable plans when you BYOD. I don't understand what you mean by it will cost me more than $350 though?

Best Smartphone display in the market @DisplayMate

Beastly Specs (Camera, SoC, etc)

Great amount of productivity gained by S-Pen

Samsung's Signature Smart Features

 

Has a Samsung logo on it (MUST HAVE FACTOR FOR ME)

It's nowhere near how Android was intended to be. Evidently it fractured it enough that Google felt the Nexus devices needed to become more streamline so they could say: "This is what Android is and was meant to be."

But does the average consumer care?

The Nexus line is only hyped by enthusiasts.

All my other friends would either use an iPhone (and I bother the shit out of them until they switch to a Galaxy and love me for it) or a Galaxy.

I've seen an HTC among my peers just one time.

$350 US + $27.99 US shipping = $377.99 US ~ $428 Canadian.

Add taxes and you're at $483.64 Canadian.

I do care

[Morpheus]

Biggest reason I wasn't considering the note 4 is because of touchwiz. I have a galaxy device now, it's horrendous... 

[OriginalPromise]

Sigh yep. 

 

I do care

Well it's your money. 

I already tried so... It seems like you already made up your mind. 

 

On the serious note, I suggested the Nexus since it's 

1. Will get faster updates/support
2. Like you said "it is how Android is meant to be"
3. Better Customer support
4. Better Brand Equity
5. Newer Hardware

more like anyone at this point really..

Nexus 6 if you got teh monies. OnePlus if you don't.

I still see more Galaxy devices than I do Nexus (I know of 6 Nexus devices at my school; @PixelPips and I being two of them), 15ish HTC, assorted Galaxies: 20-30, rest are iPhones. Still, I hear more gripes over TouchWiz even while taking into account the larger count of them than I do any other brand / skin.

that's why day 1 when my friend got his galaxy S4, we rooted and put CM10 on it.

i don't trust rooting galaxy / samsung devices; my friend bricked 2 of them before getting it right
