Question about N4 price - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I'm planning to buy an N4 as a present for myself, and I was wondering about the price..
How much lower will it get in the next 3-5 months?

Most likely it will not drop in price at all.

If it's brand new it won't drop, if it's used, it might drop a little.

Thanks for the responses. The reason I asked, is the price of the N4 sold here in my country(Philippines)
where once sold for $470, but now for only $335.

In your country, yes the price will fall but on Google play store it wont reduce..rather product will discontinue when newer model will be launched.

Prices have skyrocketed in the U.S.

Can you believe how the prices have gone up in the U.S. for the unlocked international version? Heck, the price of the GN sold directly from Amazon has gone up a lot even though they don't have any in stock.
I bought one on eBay and the guy cancelled on me after I won the bid.
how much did you pay??
Bought it here for 699 Euros = 893.39 U.S. dollars
How are the prices there?
Check handtec.co.uk, they have been dropping the price each week.
Looks like $650.00 including shipping to US.
I got mine from simply electronics for £480, and it seems to be going down every week.
500 euros on amazon.de.
We have to pay BRL1800 in Brazil for you. That's roughly USD1000. Don't you ****ing dare to ocmplain on your prices =p

Agreed! I was bought one in eBay and had to return it because it was pretty beat up. While I ordered that one prices for new ones were around $650. Now they have shot up over $100! Now I am stuck with a complete set of accessories e.g. case, screen protectors, car dock etc and NO GALAXY NOTE
Here in India, it is available for Rs32250 which is roughly $611. Unfortunately, Flipcart.com doesn't ship overseas.

The prices were dropping the prior to Christmas on Amazon. The lowest I saw was 638 or so. They started to go back up and I pulled the trigger at 649.90. I noticed they are higher than that now and Global Mobiles higher also and is running out of stock.
Demand must be growing!
At&t version be released soon. once thAt hAppens the prices will come down

Maybe not, the US one has a nerfed CPU. If you want the real version you still have to import.
I have the import and it is mint with a good screen (no bad pixels or dark areas). I might sell it nd replace with the Galaxy tab 7.7 if that comes out. Still not sure though.

I think what will help is that the average consumer has no idea what a Snapdragon or an Exynos is; but, one thing is for sure supply goes up prices come down!
I bought mine a couple weeks before christmas on eBay for $680 USD with free shipping.
Once the supply is directed to the large carriers there will most probably be a shortage on the unlocked front,Samsung doesn't manufacture Galaxy Notes alone.
I was originally going to wait for the AT&T version but once I heard about the CPU I plopped 690 for the international, should be here in 4 days, time to say goodbye to skyrocket

Where to buy Cheapest Xoom? Uk

Hey after trolling threw alot of threads, ive come to the conclusion a xoom would be ideal over the nexus 7 I wanted as i want a bigger screen and am not prepared to wait for the nexus 10. I see this as a great bang for buck, being 2 year olds and I keep seeing prices of 200 But they no longer exist (atleast where I am looking). So what I am asking is could anyone point me in the direction for the cheapest xoom brand new?
Thanks Sorry is this is the wrong forum to post

Xoom isn't shipping new any more and the high street retailers have run out of stock, so the price is artificially high as demand temporarily exceeds supply. You'll only get it used for 200 notes, not new.

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.

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!!!!!!

Note 3 for Full No Commitment Price?

Do you guys think the Note 3 is worth getting at $725? I don't have an upgrade, but am really want to get the Note 3..
That's a super hefty price for just a phone! I don't think it's worth it. Maybe at $500? I'd take it.
lol
This phone costs 1000 usd in norway and im still getting it ! Cant wait for it to get release since my note 2 got stolen and i got back on insurance

It's not just a phone, it's a power house! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438466
However, its initial price is indeed abusive anyway.
I would suggest waiting a couple of months till prices settle a little.
And if you still think price remains abusive, set you eyes on a Note 2 which is going to be 30/40% cheaper in comparison and it's a GREAT phone ( I have it)
You gonna have 2 choices:
1) Note 3 State-of-the-art phone but quite expensive
or
2) Note 2 an excellent phone nevertheless and way cheaper
:good:
Yes its just not a phone, it is a phablet. But anyways my justification is that I just sold my HTC One and will be selling my S4 for a combined total of 750. So I'm basically trading two phones for one. Also I saw that m4sta2k was going to buy it for $1000!! which makes my purchase alittle bit better. ha.

I dont know about the Note 2 being way cheaper. I remember paying full price last year ($650) and its currently $704 on AT&T's site. I guess its success caused a price increase. I can see it going down a little but not much. I would love to get the Note 3 but I really love my Note 2. Hoping to get the 4.3 update and some other goodies in the update before the end of the year or I just may get the Note 3.

Well, I can only talk about how things go over here ( Holland ) and about sim lock free phones ( no plan/contract)
The Note2 is already around 100 euros cheaper ( 132$) than one year ago costing around 560$ at my favorite webshop
It will get even cheaper after Note3's sales warm up
Anyway I will be visiting NY next month and gonna check some gagdets prices in places such as B&H ...

700+ is the usual price, it was the same for my note 1 and note 2 upgrade

i just dropped $745 on mine off contract from verizon
I can beat that price, but not by much.
T-Mo is selling it for $703.99 full retail.
http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phones/samsung-galaxy-note-3.html
I know this is an off contract price but I'm not sure it's an unlocked device.
Cheapest UK price I've seen is from Handtec, where I got my Note 2 from when that was released. It's currently 586 then a fiver postage, I'm literally on the site now about to place the order, but reluctant to until I know which variant is gonna see the most community activity, 3G or LTE.
As the the ones listed on, Expansys, Handtec, Clove etc are all LTE, looks like my decision had been made for me but would still love to know what version is gonna sell more.
How tough is to buy a phone without contract (simlock free) in the US ?

You're not beating the price. He meant with tax included. It's $699.99 and you don't have to pay for the SIM with Verizon. Neither phone is unlocked.

That's a rip off to pay that much and your device and not be unlocked.
True you could probably hack around and unlock lock it, but it's the principle.
It does not pay to be first when it comes to electronics.

Price to sell at.

I'm thinking I'm gonna sell my n7 and upgrade to a newer tablet. So what's a good price to sell it at? It's about a year old little wear and 16gig. What do you think? Also what tablet should I get? Probably a 7-8 inch. Best options other than the new n7

i bought a used 16gb n7 back in june for $150,seemed like a good price at the time. i'd aim for at least $80 on craigslist if i wanted to sell it. i'll be using this tablet for a while though,see no reason to upgrade yet tho it is kinda laggy after 4.4 update.
