How much can I get for my N4?

I upgraded to the OPO near the end of October and my Nexus 4 16GB is just sitting around and not in use.
This is aimed more at UK users.
It is in excellent pristine condition (no scratches front or back as they have screen protectors) and I have included loads of accessories including cases and spare screen protectors.
I have advertised it on a local selling page for £115 and gather some interest. I am wondering if you guys think this is an acceptable price?
I have taken a peek on eBay and seen one going for £150 and the bid hasn't ended. But that is the only exception I can't find others.
Should I expect more for the phone? Or should I sell it at this price?
Cheers.

Just had a quick look and £120 seems the average. £150 is high and I don't think you'd get that.

Thanks mate.
I've had a look again myself and that's what I'm seeing too. I have a buyer lined up for tomorrow for £115.
Should I just go ahead and pull the trigger? I will miss the phone had some fond memories with it, but it doesn't have much use now.

Personally, I think you'll get nostalgic and regret selling it. Use it as a test mule for ROMs for your OnePlus One, since most ROMs available for for both. And it never hurts to have a back-up phone. Or something smaller when you don't want so large a phone (is that a OnePlus One in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?).
Sell it if you need the cash, I guess, but unless you're short on January's rent, my advice is to hang on to your Nexus 4.

I've kept so many handsets, just in case, then regretted it later when they never got touched, but it's your call mate. If you have a buyer lined up, I'd got go for it.

Waiting for used N5x to be posted :)

Just thought I'd mention that I currently have the N6, bought brand new few weeks ago for the second time (bought one when first released, then again recently) through Ebay. I think I want the N5x mainly for pure Android and smaller size as the N6 is just too damn big. Let me rephrase: Its FRIGGIN HUGE. So I'm hoping some use dprices go up on this so I can get one without feeling that I'm paying more for a phone that isn't any better than my N6 currently.

XDA isn't the place to buy phones, that would be swappa. But I wouldn't expect anything for a while, the next 2 weeks anyone that doesn't like will simply return for a full refund, after that it'll probably be a couple months before anyone switches from their 5X to something else.

Currently you are not going to see used ones for sale. If people are not happy within the first 2 weeks then can return it. Unless you are willing to pay what they paid you more than likely not going to see one within 2 weeks.

Best to keep an eye on swappa.com and ebay as no used phones will be for sale on this site

Back from the 6P

I just can't seem to help myself, every year I buy the new Nexus as soon as it comes out. This year was no different with the Nexus 6P. After using the 6P for a few months, I am back to the N6. The 6P was great but there is just something about the N6 that keeps me coming back. Here is what I found;
The larger screen on the N6 is better for me. (The phones are almost the same size in height)
Wireless charging - I liked it more than the fingerprint unlock.
The bottom and top bezels on the N6P are just too large - almost like an iPhone.
What are your thoughts?

The lack of wireless charging was/is the deal breaker for me. I've had all the latest and greatest Nexus phones since the Nexus S. Hopefully my lack of voting with my dollars send a message to Google... I choose wireless charging over a phone that's a 1mm thinner. Time will tell, in the meantime I've got my 64g N6 and a backup 32g N6 just in case.

I'm coming up on my deadline to be able to return my 6p and am also missing my n6. I really miss the wireless charging also.
Mostly what has me concerned is the whole bending controversy on the 6p. I baby it but would be really pissed off if I found a bend on the frame for no reason. Anyways, I feel the 6p was not a huge step forward besides the camera and fingerprint sensor, there isn't much that wows me. Maybe I'll get the 6 again and wait til the next iteration of nexus.

I have not had any bending issues, but I keep a case on it.

I wirelessly charge my N6, but wireless charging was not the deal breaker for me. The 6P just wasn't a large enough step forward. Like @Henrock11 said, the camera and fingerprint scanner weren't reason enough to move forward. My 6 gets great battery life and is buttery smooth with M.
Hopefully the 2016 Nexus 6 will have the Snapdragon 820. I'll be all over it this fall.

I haven't owned a N6p but fingerprint sensor to me is pretty important in my next phone, it has a lot of security implications and major uses in authenticating. I hate entering my credentials in lastpass and Google authenticator.

A Huawei can't just pretend to be like a Motorola. There is a learning curve...

The bezel craze and the rip off of iPhone was unbearable in 2016.
Never understood Android OEMs. IPhones are bland and uninspired,with huge bezels and a design language that doesnt speak to males or females.
If i wanted a phone that looked like an iPhone., i would get an iPhone.

IPhone advantage is there warranty . it follows device from the time activated. Not the purchaser. I found this out when I bought my daughter an iPhone 6 that I knew was broke. The apple support I found out it had 4 days of warranty left according to the serial number. They swapped me a new iPhone 6 64gb . others should follow apples customer service. I was amazed.

I don't really care about the wireless charging or fingerprint scanner tbh so both are a non-issue for me. The big thing is:
1. The phones are size-wise nearly the same, yet the 6p has slightly less screen.
2. I don't feel like replacing all my charger cables and the 6's micro USB is just easier with everything I have set up.
3. I don't like the build or look of the 6p. I don't know how much merit the bending issue has, but I like the plastic, it's sturdy and durable enough.

I'm holding out for 2016 Nexus especially if it really turns out to be HTC.

I love my Nexus 6 as well! Seeing your thread only helps me confirm that my decision in not ordering a 6P was the right choice. I actually ended up ordering a Brand New Cloud White 64GB Nexus 6 when Amazon had them for $250! Well, I actually ordered 10, but one was for myself! A nice phone "refresh" for me. HaHa. I ordered them the first time Amazon had the $250 sale, left them sealed and ended up selling 8 of them locally via Craigslist for $400-$450 a piece. I'm still sitting on number 9 and I sold my used one for $250, what I paid for my new one! HaHa

I forgot about the price issue. For $250 for a new nexus 6 that's easily a no brainer

Good to know they've kept some value!
I bought the Nexus 6 32GB off Amazon specifically for Project Fi at just $300, Brand new, but missing the original box and accessories. (Original owner received as a warranty replacement from Motorola, not even a refurb!)
When I received it and went to activate, Fi tossed my Google Voice number instead of using it and assigned a random replacement instead.
After hours on the phone with Google, they can't figure out how to port their own GV number into Fi.
In the meantime I had gone into the Fi app and chose the option to add another device, and a few minutes later I was approved for payments on a 6P 64GB!
Prior to activating that N6, all attempts to be approved got shot down right away. I'm thinking it's much easier to get approved with an active account, or as I've heard from others too.
Now I have an extra Midnight 32GB N6, though I wasn't too hopeful on resell without any accessories, but I had low expectations anyway.
Anyone know of a place to purchase these types of items; like just the box to a N6 and an OEM charger? I figure it may be the difference between listing it for $250 or $300.

Just got the Nexus 6p, anyone choose this over the Moto X Pure?

So I had a s7 edge which was lagging bad (came from the Moto G 3rd generation) and I just bought the Nexus 6p from bestbuy and was wondering if anyone took back the 6p for the Moto x pure or took back the pure to get the 6p. Please help me understand my purchase.

I chose the Nexus over the Moto. Reasons:
1. Development.
2. Updates.
3. Ease in unlocking/rooting/modifying.

This is getting weird. Like the weather, it seems.
Now we must justify the choices of others.

As soon as the Moto Z Force comes to Britain, I will be swapping my beloved 6p for it

Same reason I sold my Pure for the 6P. Definitely was a good choice IMO.

Is it possible that it's just weird to you? As I've been browsing the forum it seems like you jump in as soon as someone talks bad about this phone. Weird indeed.

Well guys I had the pure and it just seemed....washed out. But that was back when it was still on lollipop. I went from a G5 that ended up bricking itself after 1 day, to trading it for a v10 (I paid $300 cash for the g5 brand new at&t) and got $50 cash on top with v10 trade. The v10 had this weird white spot and a burn in type effect and I asked to return it to my guy for a s7 edge with cash on my end. So I gave him $100 and the v10 and got the s7 edge brand new. Typing on it was a b**** and it lagged to open the app drawer and I just hated how delayed everything was. So I sold the s7 edge for $500 and was torn between the Nexus 6p (never had one) or the Moto x. The local bestbuy had both phones but only the Moto x was on display. It seemed dim but it looked OK. The Nexus 6p was Google blocked so I was unable to test it. I read everywhere people pick the Moto x pure and I just got the Nexus 6p and it looks great.

It's nothing personal, I'm just fed up with the constant whining about irrelevant stuff. Just move on! Buy another phone!

i been using iphone 6s plus for about 4 months coming from an s6 and i love the iphone its a nice phone just boring lol anyway i ordered a 6p and its coming today! so im just excited to be here!

I switched from the Moto x pure. The nexus is so much faster, less awkward to hold, and flat back is great! Tempered screen protectors actually fit,the 6p feels much lighter weight, and that gold is gorgeous. I do miss the Moto speakers and expandable storage, but I wouldn't go back.

Has anyone ordered or is considering ordering a OnePlus 3? I just did, I figured what the hell. 15 day no questions asked return policy and they pay shipping back. I also didn't get charged any tax. $399 out the door.
Other than a 1080p screen, it has monster specs. I guess the phone junkie part of me isn't gone yet lol.
I figure I will simply return it if I'm not feeling it. Anyone else?

I had the OnePlus One for a week or so and had no problems whatsoever returning it. If anything I will just get PayPal involved. I'm not worried in the least about that.

Nexus 6P in 2017?

So recently my M8 has decided to degrade a lot faster than a typical Android phone would, so I'm looking for an upgrade. Considering I'm still a college student, I can't make sense of spending over $500 just for a phone. I recently saw a few models (64GB and 128GB) for under $400, but would anyone still recommend buying this phone in 2017? The bootloop issue keeps me from pulling the trigger. I would rather not purchase another phone that I'm gonna want to throw at a wall only a few months into owning it.

If you can get a NEW model 64GB for a great price, then yeah. In the US, Walmart is selling a new 32GB model for $365. The phone is still fast as hell, runs 8.0 and gets monthly security updates. Ongoing community support is guaranteed for a LONG time. :good:

I used my 6P for about a year without any issues but I can't recommend it to those that need a reliable phone. Definitely wouldn't pay anywhere near $400. Just too many potential issues and there's better options in that price range. I bought my 64 GB gold 6P over a year ago for about $400 but had other options (5x and 6) if it had boot loop or battery issues. Now I have the 3T and will probably sell the 6P.

Yea I'm still weary of the bootloop. The phone I found was an official refurb from Google, but still, if it's unreliable even afterwards, I'd rather spend the extra money now so I don't have to spend even more later.
BTW I would prefer to buy one that works on all four networks. Currently on Sprint (hot garbage) but I'm looking to move to T-Mobile after I graduate.

My Pixel XL died and I picked up the Nexus 6P.
It's 95% as fast as the Pixel XL.
Apps do open faster on the Pixel, but the difference is negligible.
I never realized I'd be this happy with the 6P.
My only issue is premature battery failure.
I'd budget $25 to get a replacement battery if you're comfortable doing it yourself.
If not, then budget a lot more, or get a better phone.

how long have you had it?

Have my 6P for 14 months now. 95% battery health and working flawlessly so far.
Can't see any reason to replace it. if the only issue I'll have in the future is the battery than I'll simply replace it and keep using it.
It got a 2K AMOLED screen , 2Ghz big cluster and 1550 little cluster CPU, 3 Gb RAM.. can't see any reason to replace it by now.

I still think it's very worthy phone even in 2017. It's my all time favorite Android phone. I've owned it twice now. I as of about 4 days ago just bought another Nexus 6p from an individual who had bought it from Google but never even opened it up. It had just been sitting in the box unopened at his house for the past two years. Although I really wanted the silver, the one he had was 64g and in frost white. When he told me what he'd sell it to me for I went into shock. I bought a brand new 64g Nexus 6p for $150!!! Sealed in box never even turned on. This phone is butter smooth. The screen is amazing. It's great for media. Runs the very latest software from Google. I like it tens times better than the Pixel. The Pixel is absolutely ugly and it's not even a true XL at 5.5 inches where the 6p is 5.7 which I would consider that to be an XL. The phone design thanks to Huawei is stunning. So yeah if you can find one in the original box at the right price that was purchased from Google in case you do need a replacement then I'd say definitely yes to getting one. Don't let the boot loop scare you. Although it happens it's not to the majority of the phones. You only hear of the bad apples and not the good ones. Well mine is perfect although it was brand new it's still two yesrs old just never opened up and my battery is fine. Just do your research and ask questions and get you one. You won't regret it. This phone is by far the best and most smooth Android phone I've ever used. It's definitely at the right price very worth buying even in 2017. I believe it will get updates until late 2018 so you're good there too. Like I said research it and definitely fine one that comes in the original box with the contents. It'll help your resell value down the road.

Don't do it... Worst build quality ever, it's essentially made out of tin foil

Until the Google Pixel dual partition phones get Xposed working, I'm sticking with the 6P.
Even TWRP doesn't backup/restore reliably for Pixel dual partition setup yet.
My 6P has RR and Xposed for Nougat working just right and I'm not letting that go.

I have my 6p for over a year now and to be honest I am not happy In 2017 you would end up much better with OnePlus 5 that has similar performance to iPhone 8 and much better than Samsung Galaxy 8. Nexus 6p is way behind them now
The "frame" (thin plastic around the screen) goes off quickly and it looks quite bad and the body is made of soft metal so you would have a lot of tiny holes and few scratches after few months (and drops). Battery is good though, after a year still holds about 95% (due to AccuBattery app) and performance itself is neither bad or good.

No it's not a good buy. You want a phone to last long look elsewhere. You might get lucky and get a good model or you might get one that has one of the many issues that plagues these phones. Go for a one plus 3T

I absolutely love mine. expect to replace the battery at some point, but other than that, I think it's still a relevant phone in 2017. buy it if you see it cheap.

So hey guys. I've not really used XDA in a while, last time really active was when I got my Note 3 (that I am STILL using today.)
My budget for a "new" phone is small, aprox 200-300. I was looking at the LGv20's, but not able to nail one down (locally) for that price.
I have an offer of a great condition Nexus 6p for 225. Should I? Any idea how common the batt/loop issues are?

My 6P has been great for over a year but I wouldn't buy even a cheap 6P unless I didn't need it to be a reliable phone. My 6P is now used as a backup.

No. Short battery life, lag and overheating, very poor build, terrible support from Huawei. I would avoid it personally

Thanks, guys.
When this phone came out, I SUPER wanted one bad, but pretty glad I avoided it, if what I've read online is truly a common thing and not just a vocal minority. (I tried to see if I could find actual failure stats/percentages, but nothing concrete.)
And yeah, I looked at swappa, but I'm one of those "must be in my hand to inspect before I spend" guys, online purchase of expensive used electronics makes me nervous.
Found an LG V20 for ~200 this morning, but its a bit of a drive. Might do it...

Glad to help out. I try not to fanboy out on any phone I own, and be honest about the good and the bad. XDA can be the worst place to ask for advice about buying phones honestly. People will say anything is good.
I keep mine around to play around with and test android updates. It hasn't been my main phone in a while though.
