Australian Nexus 4 price if I trade in my Nexus S?

As the title says, I was wondering how much the Nexus 4 would cost if I traded in my Nexus S at any store in Australia that would sell this beast.
The Nexus 4 that I want is the 16GB version which will be $400 in Australia, but could anyone give a rough estimate of the Nexus 4 price if I traded in my Nexus S for it?

Places actually trade phones here? Never noticed that... Anywho, if they did, I'd really doubt they'd give you too much off considering it's trade-in (my guess is as good as yours but don't expect any more than what you'd get by selling the Galaxy Nexus yourself). I mean take a look at game consoles, they have horrid trade-in deals and just aren't worth it unless it's really just collecting dust.
If you sold it yourself, you could probably sell one $200-$250 at the moment depending on how quickly you want it to sell. Maybe use that for an estimate on the trade-in price.

I agree to this previous post, I don't live in Australia but for us, european citizens, problematic is the same.
Google will sell the Nexus 4 for €350 including tax + approximately €10 S&H.
Some distributors are on this price, they are buying a new...new..new Nexus S without any defects €63.
Today, an average Nexus S can be sold around €150, €180 maximum.

Well for me, that's a fair price considering I'll get a lot of money for Christmas (Minimum $200) and that money + trading in Nexus S = barely any of my own money for the Nexus 4. And I know some stores that trade, otherwise, selling my Nexus S would be another option.

Hopefully it's not like an EB Games trade-in and you get $5 off the price of the Nexus 4 when you trade in six old phones and a bunch of accessories with it, too! Haha. Which store would you go to to trade it in, though? I can't think of any stores in Australia that would let me trade in my older phone for a better price on a newer one. I think Mobicity do it but they are just an online store.

My first choice is JB Hi-Fi, and because they have the SGS 3 and Nexus 7, the chances are that they'll sell the Nexus 4. If they don't do trades, I might still buy it but $400 is pretty expensive for me. I was wishing that it would be $350 like it is in America, but Australia almost always gets a more expensive price
My second choice would be at my local shopping centre and keep searching until I find the right store. If I can't find a single store that sells the Nexus 4 and accepts trades, I'll just sell my Nexus S.

I don't believe JB do trade-ins for phones (I know they do for games). And about the price thing, it's really not that much more compared to America. We have GST included in the shown price whereas they don't so you have to add their state tax (not sure on the percentage but it comes out to be pretty close).

Hmmm... I might ask JB Hi-Fi about the Nexus 4 price :/
Then my other two options are:
1. Sell my Nexus S
2. See if JB Hi-Fi (Or any other store) can do any offers

The price should be about the same every (~$400 for the 16GB version and ~$350 for the 8GB one). Anywho, good luck!

Worth buying the phone?

Hey
Here in Sweden, the nexus 4 costs around 650 U.S. dollars. I can't get it cheaper from here. The question is, is the phone worth buying for 650 dollars? I really love the phone, but the phone's battery/camera maybe doesn't match the price?
Thx

I bought mine off of eBay for $540 tho, but I sold my s2 for $430.
What phone you currently own?

I bought mine fort 522 (€395) dollars in Germany. It is a great iPhone that will need a charge at night though. It is superfast, camera is good but nog terrific. Bur overall it is worth the money imo. Smooth, fast and first tot get updates and off course no bloatware.

YOLO.
@OP: its your money. spend it the way you want. coming to this forum, most of the people will say yes because we're biased, id even say it myself personally because I prefer nexus devices over anything else.
read reviews, watch videos, read forum posts and judge for yourself. good luck.

Yeah, it's same here at Finland. Lowest I can find it is over $660 USD (€500), but usually from trusted shops, it's more like $740 USD (€560).
I hope that UK/Germany-based web stores can get it soon to stock, I'm not going to pay over €450 for it, it's not worth it if you ask me..
If someone could recommend good shops from European union, I'd be glad to hear them

Read a review. I'm not here to advertise a phone whether you should buy it or not or say things so you walk away from buying a N4. It's up to you.
Most people here will beg you to buy it, but I'm a honest person. If you want the phone, just buy it.
http://androidandme.com/2012/11/smartphones-2/nexus-4-review-roundup/ provides a good overview of N4 reviews.

I'll get a Note II or HTC One X+ if it costs around the same. While Nexus 4 is a great device, the most compelling reason (for me, at least) to buy it is the $350 price point from Play Store. At $650 there are many other options that you can consider, and the Nexus 4 only make sense if you really really want stock and want to get the next Android version the day it is available.

Thanks everyone for the replies, i think im going to buy it.

Well, I'd like to have the best smartphone there is. HTC One X+ is great, but Nexus 4 is better, it has 1GB more RAM etc.
Nexus 4 happens to be the best phone on market at the moment, which is fairly well available. Xiaomi Mi-2 isn't available, I would buy it if it was.
That's why I've decided to buy N4, but I have no idea where to get it, without paying something like $650 dollars, which isn't fair price.

Wise choice.... The N4 rocks more than any other right now!

N4 is literally the phone that I would've bought even if it was 800 dollars it is fast smooth and in Canada, I can have lte!!

The N4, from what reports are saying. Will be at top of the Android phones. Currently held by the SGS3 and the Note 2.. I like all 3 the thing that kills me about the sammy line is the touch wiz. Yuck. Overall there all great phones.. Just preference on the user.

Seriously though, I think its a great phone and I am glad I managed to snap one up during the 2nd UK sale!

If the note 2 is the same price, then it's not worth getting the nexus 4. Like many other people mentioned it's only worth it when it's priced at $349 dollars. But, I think you already made up your mind....

I beg to differ. It's one of the highest spec phones out there and has proper Google support. It is a Nexus device and will be supported longer than most of other Android devices, it also gets updates directly from Google quickly as well as getting good developer support (less buggy ROM day one).
Galaxy Note's S Pen is also closed source and can't be used on AOSP I believe as it is attached to TouchWiz. I can be wrong on this.

Hell yea get this phone...do what you have to do and get it lol....buy it...trade for it...just make it happen lol...best phone out!!!!!!

[Q] Return Question

Just got my Nexus 10.
I like it but not sure, it's what I'm looking for. I already have a Nexus 4 and 7.
Do I have to justify returning it to Google and is there any charges for this?
I am in the UK.
Thanks

I don't think that they will take it back if it doesn't have production issues . In your situation it would be a way better decision to sell it through ebay with a price a bit higher than in Gplay, I'm sure there are a lot of peoole even inside UK who will buy it with pleasure and you will get some extra cash.

Buy N7 or wait for N8?

Hi guys/gals,
I can pick up n7 for £179 but is it worth waiting for n8?
I know price will be 300 or thereabouts as screen increase but would the extra cpu and ram and maybe resolution make it worth it for 1" bigger screen?
Thanks

There is no reason for waiting for N8,since it's just a rumour d no official word on it. A new Nexus device probably launch with a new version of android & expect it around June or July. So waiting for N8 may be worthless.
Still Nexus 7 2013 is an awesome device & you will love your new purchase. E179 is an awesome deal & you should definitely grab it
Nexus 7 (2013) with stock AOSP ROM(4.4.2), FRANCO Kernel (r12)

More than the extra inch in screen size, something worth the wait could be the possible change in the aspect ratio if they will move from 16:10 to 3:2. However this change isn't confirmed and so it simply depends on your current needs. July is 5 months away from now. If the market price will be higher than all the previous launch prices for N tablets, the SoC could even be something nice and new like the Snapdragon 805 and so worth the wait.

Yeah SoC upgrade will be worth it.
My only not sure area is as I already have a Asus TF300T (yes it is a slow hog) I can still use it for videos etc while at home fine. I just need something portable for trains so dont want to spend over £200 on that as already have 10" tab. So the fact that the N8 if made wont be same price as N7 at launch I doubt I can spend that much.
Thanks guys

Only thing that would be worth the wait in my opinion is if:
# they add a digitizer for pen input
# possibly a more efficient battery (not necessarily bigger)
# 64 bit chip with the necessary RAM upgrades to see the actual boosts in performance
The Nexus 7 2013 still flies as it is. I doubt there will be pen input and 64 bit tablets at the moment still only see around 2 GB of RAM.
I'd go with the Nexus 7. Just my 2 ¢ents!

£179 for a N7 is good I think. Doubt N8 will drop to that price less then a year of release!

If the next nexus is made by ASUS, I'm not buying it. I'll switch to LG or Samsung. Both my nexus 7s from 2012 and 2013 have had frustrating touch screen issues that eventually make me not want to use them for anything but reading books.

I personally love the form factor of the N7. I use this on the go sometimes. The form factor is small enough I slip this into pocket and use it like I would a phablet(minus calling and SMS) these days hangouts and Facebook suffice. I tether my N5 to this bad boy since I have free 2.5 of tethering

I was planning on waiting but I got such a good deal on a Nexus 7 32gb last week that I couldn't pass it up ($115 for a open box 32gb one). I might consider switching to the Nexus 8 if the specs are nice enough though.

I would imagine that a gently used 32gb Nexus 7 2nd gen would sell for more than $100 even after the Nexus 8 is announced.
But anyways, yes you make a valid point and that is what I was suggesting in my prior post. Very interested to see nexus 8 though. I will probably be content though.

Agreed. After returning N7 fhd in July, got a much better one in Nov. but still interested in the N8 if, indeed, one comes to fruition.

I was thinking the same thing but I'm just going to get a nexus 7 2013 now and worry about the 8 later if it is indeed a beast in specs and good price point.

Nexus 8 interesting but depend who will manufacturing this Model, I had enough with sh*t Asus.

I was thinking about the same thing but grabbed the Nexus 7. I really like it a lot and it's amazing how much faster it is than the previous Nexus 7. I only got the 16GB but it's more than enough for me.

Oneplus One Australia thread

Do you think Oneplus One will be jacked up in price as they do with all other devices to the point that the price is no longer an advantage? I think Oneplus One will probably cost more than Nexus devices in Australia due to additional GST and demand.

They'll Jack it up, for whatever reason Lol
I reckon it will start at $400+ here unfortunately

Personally, I'm getting mine sent to one of my dev friends in America. But you can use a mail forwarding company like Shipito to get it here. I ordered mine (64gb) yesterday, and it ended up costing me $400AUD including standard shipping to the States. The price is a bit inflated due to PayPal's ridiculous conversation rate, which was $0.90 instead of the $0.93 it should have been. On top of that I still need to get it shipped from Illinois to Melbourne, so all up I'm probably looking at anywhere between $430 to $450 I think.
Anyways, hi guys, ours nice to see an Australian thread here.

@gerardo66 - not sure what the problem is for you there. The only physical difference is the Chinese one doesn't have CyanogenMod stamped on the back.
The 4G band difference doesn't matter over here, because the 700MHz band in the international version doesn't work here anyway.
