Question Google Store sale any time soon? - Google Pixel 5a

I'm so interested in buying a Pixel 5A. Any idea of an upcoming sale on the Google store?

Hard to say. If Google releases a new device this summer or fall, we can expect to see sales on some of the older devices.
I replaced my wife's Pixel 3 with a 5a last year while they were on sale with the release of the Pixel 6. Paid $349, then got $73 back for trading the 3 in.
If you don't want to pay full new price, you can always try Swappa.

The Amazon Watchtower

We know that other retailers will be carrying the Nexus 5 sooner or later.
For those of us with memebership in the primeverse or for those that prefer to save on shipping & save *ahem* file our own taxes, avoid the google play limbo experience and/or use our chase amazon visa's, I present to you the Nexus 5 Amazon thread.
Let's keep on the lookout for nexus 5 developments relating to amazon and post any information here!
I've heard rumors that amazon will be stocking somewhere between 3-7 days.
However, the rep that I spoke to didn't appear to have any information about upcoming nexus 5 availability.
Here's my chat with the rep:
http://goo.gl/DMza0n
I also believe the stock alerts in this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2503657 added amazon to it's monitor list.
i have prime but still paid for expedited shipping and tax from the play store. i dont mind paying more to receive it earlier than to wait.
Pearl sure was useless. You should have told her a joke. Maybe ask her out on a date or something. Better luck next time bro.
I would have waited to purchase it from Amazon, however, I'll still get dinged with sales tax and only save $10 on shipping.
So, I'll just say the $10 was used for help out with the "instant gratification."
I put myself down for a 32GB black that ships in 2-3 weeks, if Amazon gets it before then I will cancel and order from Amazon.
If amazon sells the nexus 5 everything will be perfect

will the nexus 5 work on wind or mobilicity?

It looks like the alert in that thread isn't set up yet. i followed the comments in the reddit topic about using page monitor. hopefully that works. Did we want to set up a hangouts or something? not sure of the best way.
Please Amazon, please please please sell the international version D821. PLEASE!
Sure we can definitely start a hangout if we have enough people/interest.
I think quite a few people just bit the bullet and bought the nexus 5 on google play.
When do you guys expect the N5 on Amazon?
I didn't follow the N4 when it came out. What do you think are we looking at days or weeks?

AFAIK, the N4 was not sold by Amazon. The only Google devices they sold were the Chromecast and the Nexus 7 (2013), which were both sold at the same price as the Play store and listed on Amazon on release day.
If I don't get my damn shipping notice by Tuesday like I should I will hope that Amazon has it by then and order it overnight shipping and cancel/resell the playstore order, smh

I have a feeling that the $800 markup is a Sprint thing to "encourage" people to buy it on contract.
I hope they will sell the Unlocked version at the same price as the Play Store since they didn't put a markup on the Nexus 7, Chromecast, or Chromebooks.

I really hope so. Come to think of it, has Amazon ever officially sold an unlocked Nexus phone? I know they didn't sell the Nexus 4, I'm pretty sure they didn't sell the Galaxy Nexus, and I'm vaguely remembering them not carrying the Nexus S or Nexus One.

This will be their first time officially selling a Nexus phone I believe.
HOWEVER! What has me some what worried is that the pre-order page for Amazon UK's Nexus 5 is extremely overpriced. I really hope it's just a placeholder and they'll fix it when they get it in stock. http://www.amazon.co.uk/LG-Nexus-5-...E&s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1383328580&sr=1-3 I would prefer using Amazon to get the phone since I have gift cards.

With BB selling the N5 for $800 and Amazon UK selling it for 520 GBP (~845 USD), I think it's unlikely Amazon US will sell it at the Play Store prices.
one of the posts on that reddit says they plan on pricing it like google. hopefully thats true.

Will you buy the OnePlus Three T?

Or wait for the OnePlus 4?
Btw first
Already have op3, will skip this and buy the 4
I already have the Oneplus 3 but i think that if Oneplus 3T has a larger battery, i make the change
I've waited 4 weeks for my +3 to finnaly arrive yesterday, only to find out after 6 months a newer version is alreadycomming. I'll probably use my option to refund this version and for just 80$ more buy the newer version.
I've had the OP3 for 3+ months so I won't be getting the 3T. I'll just get the OP4 or probably the next Google phone.
If you already have a OP3 then do not rush into buying this one immediately even though it has good specs. Wait until OP 4 comes out. Compare specs/price. And then make a choice.
No, because my OP3 arrived on October 29th, making November 13th the last day I could return it for a refund...which is two days before the OP3T announcement. ಠ_ಠ
I was thinking of buying OP3 this thanksgiving so I guess i will take a look at the specs and if all looks good, i will go ahead and buy it.
I have OnePlus 3 since mid-October, so nope, I'm not going to buy 3T.
P.S. I'm very disappointing about company decision make and sell new flagship in several month after announcing OP3. I hope they will support OP3.
P.P.S Has anyone seen information about OnePlus Pixel?

It's a OnePlus 3 with the build.prop changed for Google Assistant work on that phone.
I've got a OP3 on order, due to be despatched on the 15th. I'm naïvely hoping they upgrade us for free, or at least give the option to upgrade without having to wait another 3 weeks
after hearing this news i hate those whole one plus team, and i will never bought oneplus product again...
No SD card slot, no way. LG V20 with microsd and removable battery.
I actually prefer autumn/winter release after new Android is out and everything. Hope they continue this trend.

Oneplus 6t - McLaren Edition

So.....who is ordering the McLaren edition??
I would of if I waited. But I didn't so I am keeping the 256 midnight blk.
If it was released day 1 it woulda been me. Orange is my favorite color. For now I'm waiting for someone to pull the wallaoapers and fingerprint animations lol
I most likely will be. Just sold my TMobile version last week so I got some cash to spare. Its just so good looking why not
Will warp charger work on our op6t or it needs to be McLaren edition?

If it had been released day 1 or 2.
The price difference from what I bought is almost nothing.
It comes with the Karbon case and I bought one for $29.
So for me $629+$29 and you get the faster charging and 2GB of RAM is nothing for the extra $40 over what I paid.
But it's too much hassle to sell what I have just to get incrementally faster charging and an extra 2GB or RAM that may or may not ever be used.
I just received the 6T last week so I'm still in my 15 day return policy. I'll do an RMA right after I successfully purchase the McLaren.

Yeah, I've had mine too long.
No big deal. The McLaren is very cool but doesn't have any must have feature over the Midnight Black 8/256.
Do you guys know if the McLaren edition will share the same software as other 6Ts? Meaning will I be able to use the same rooting procedures as the other models?
So what do you all think, is it worth it over 6t? I'm kind of thinking about it. I'm on my day 15 tomorrow for return. The phone looks nice although I'm not a fan of the mirror black. The yellow does add a nice touch
I’m a big o spec ho but 10gb is even too much for me. I’ve never seen my phone use more than 7gb. Usually sit around 4-5gb so 8gb is plenty. Too bad they can’t do 120hz on oled. That’s a spec I’d go down on fo sho
Oneplus just opened european sales at 10 CET, ordered one McLaren immediately
I also ordered one today . It will replace my OP3. My daughter is looking forward to get the OP3
I got to get it! Waiting for the countdown now to be able to buy, I'm gonna give my unlocked 8/128 to my son
Ordered mine! How is free shipping from oneplus usually? First time ordering thru them.
Just ordered one this morning, upgrading from my Pixel 2
Ordered, says it will be delivered by 19th. Can't wait! :victory:

General Pixel 7/7 Pro [India]

It's been a "long time" since Google officially released a flagship Pixel in India.

Only 128 gb versions are on pre-order on Flipkart, even for the "Pro" model .
What do you guys think - will there be any way to get it offline in coming days?

Unlikely. I checked with a few reputed stores in Mumbai, no 1 has it or plans on having it. I asked croma on launch day, they too said no.
Both of them show sold out on FK right now. Any idea if these are going to come back for sale anytime soon?

I am keeping a continuous tab on FK but keep getting sold out error. Any specific time / pattern on which 7 pro comes back to stock on FK?
I will keep an eye today morning to see if I can get lucky.

No specific time. I guess those restocking units are the ones cancelled by buyers who bought on first sale and changed mind later(128 gigs isn't enough for all).

Not many use SBI/Kotak CC I think.
As such, I would say it's not worth buying at a starting price of 60k.

Now as more pixels are getting sold out the main issue is after sales service, as i live in Mumbai, Service center is available only in Thane and i have to go to Thane for any repair work of the phone.

Last time I owned a pixel, it was a pixel 2 and the service was pretty good. The service center would provide a pickup and drop service within Mumbai. So let's hope it remains the same.

General Pixel 7 Pre-order and Delivery Dates

I have just pre-ordered the 128GB Obsidian black version direct from Google.
Delivery estimate is October 13th - 14th
I also took advantage of the promotional offer and should be getting a free pair of Google Pixel Buds Pro.
So have you pre-ordered yet?
What version did you go for?
What is your estimated delivery date?
Reply below
Same order and delivery date but from Best Buy with good trade in for my Pixel 4XL ($320!) and $100 gift card.
Ordered the 128GB Obsidian from Google. Will be getting $100 credit once the order ships.
I have had a bad experience doing a trade in before now so will not be doing that this time.
I will sell my current phone privately to help recoup some of the cost and will probably sell on the Pixel Buds Pro as well.

How is everyone getting the Pixel Buds? Is that just for the P7 Pro model, or did i miss something on the regular P7?
Amazon has a bunch of Pixel 4a refurbished for $123.99 and Google is giving $300 trade in. I had to jump on it. I'll just take it out of the box and put it right in the trade-in kit.

No.

It will depend on where you pre-order your pixel 7 from as to what offers are made.
I pre-ordered my pixel 7 from the google UK store and the offer being made at the time was a free set of pixel buds pro or £179 reduction in the price of the google pixel watch.
If I had pre-ordered the pro version then the offer was a free pair pixel buds pro or a free pixel watch.
But like I said offers will vary depending on which country you are in and where you pre-order your pixel 7 from

I don't think the Pixel Buds are offered in the U.S. (just a Google Store credit) when buying from the Google Store. Haven't really seen any carriers or other stores in the U.S. offering the Pixel Buds either. But some users in the U.S. are using their Google Store credit to get the Pixel Buds after the fact, especially those that get the 7 Pro $200 credit, which would basically make the Buds free.
I ordered Pixel 7 Pro from Google UK online store, 256GB, black, got the LTE Pixel watch for free. (I already have the Buds Pro for almost a month now, and really enjoying it)

Ordered Pixel 7 from Google (USA), received $100 credit towards future Google store purchase, plus $300 credit for my Samsung S10e trade-in. Oddly, Samsung offer only $150 credit for the S10e. Since the S10e is currently sitting in a drawer (I'm using an S22), this is convenient. But only if I like and keep the Pixel 7, of course!

Ordered the Pixel 7 Pro 256 in Obsidian Black from AT&T. Supposedly shipping on the 12th of October.

Shocked by how dead this thread is. It was insane during the Pixel 6 preorder.
Things do seem a bit slow.
Hopefully my Pixel 7 will be dispatched tomorrow.
Trading in my Pixel 6 and the Pixel 7 shipped today. Delivery date is the 13th!
P7 shipped today, deliv. 13th.
