I know, I know – we do a lot of Nexus polls around this time of year. But they’re relevant! While we’ve asked you about your preference between the Nexus 5X and 6P, we have yet to inquire as to how many of you have actually pre-ordered the devices.
The Nexus 6P is kind-of-sort-of insanely expensive in some regions of the world, with Italy clocking in at an eye-watering 699 Euro (around $780) for the 32GB base version. Granted, the 5X is also ludicrously expensive in the Eurozone, at 479 Euro for the 16GB model. Suffice it to say, Google hasn’t priced these phones affordably in every corner of the world.
In the US, buyers are faced with a much less distressing conundrum – the difference between the 32GB Nexus 5X and the 32GB 6P is just $70, making the former a difficult justification on price alone. While the 5X has what some people would consider a more appealing form-factor, being substantially smaller, it does lose some of the 6P’s bells and whistles (like 240FPS slow-mo video).
So, did you pony up with a Nexus pre-order? Still on the fence? Let’s get to it.
