Hey I jist saw this browsing Amazon amd came across a deal that's crazy for an unlocked phone.

It's the Google Nexus 6. It's 32 GB base model amd has just as good and actually many spec's better than an iPhone or any other smart phone out.

The 32 gb model is $250 right now. The 64gb is $300. For comparison's sake the iPhone 6 64 gb is over $600-700 some push $800. The 32 gb is 500-600 bucks. The Galaxy S6 runs about the same as the iphone. It's not the latest in the Nexus line but it is a friggin crazy deal for an unlocked smart phone with the ridiculous spec's it has. Would make an excellent high quality yet cheap backup phone or a #1 phone to get you out of your monthly phone fee'fee's everyone tries to lock you into now.

Just passing it along. It's a beautiful looking sleek design with one of the best displays

Specs

I'm a sucker for technology of any kind. I have a drone, Galaxy S4, Galaxy Note 4, Nexus 7 tablet, Galaxy Tab 4 and a Samsung Watch. Also have the JBL Charge 2 Bluetooth speaker....I probably need to sell some of this stuff lol

The 6P is nice too...but the difference between the two really aren't huge differences.

I prefer the appearance of the 6P, the metal body, fingerprint sensor, USB-C, far superior camera, and smaller screen size. 6" screen is bigger than I would like, but at $300 I could make do with it if there wasn't another phone out there I had my heart set on.

I need to do a technology sell off too. Have a Macbook, a Windows PC, a Chromebook, a Windows tablet, an Amazon Firetablet, a 2014 Moto G, an LG G3 (which will be replaced by the Nexus 6P when I get my tax refund), an Apple TV, a Roku 3 (2014 model), an Amazon Fire TV (original model), a Chromecast (2015 model), an LG G Watch, and three different bluetooth speakers. Thankfully I have had most of these things given to me as gifts instead of constantly throwing away money on gadgets...

Looking to get a new phone. Would get this one at that price, but I've had my heart set on the Nexus 6P ever since it came out.

Now that I looked at the spec's in detail between the two you really aren't getting much extra to warrant $200 more dollars. The 6 has same camera, very similar internals, shoots 4k video, has OIS, has Amolded display... really the physical design amd android marshmallow (which will be available soon for Nexus 6) is the difference. I personally like the curved design of the 6 better.

Yeah I didn't even include my computers which I just barely use. I have a Roku that literally hasn't come out of the box yet. I also have an apple TV that's still in the box. How do you like the LG watch?

The 6P camera has tested to be vastly superior to the 6, especially in lowlight conditions, chiefly due to the 1.55µm pixel size. Literally every article comparing the camera between the two have said the 6P camera is worlds better.

Plus, I want to commit to the USB-C standard. I know I'm just one person, but the more who commit to it the more likely it will become the non-Apple universal standard.

I liked it when I used it. Although when I used it the last software update to it made it extremely laggy and it was quite frustrating. I've heard since then that it has been resolved. I briefly used it a few weeks ago to see how the latest OS update is and it was quite nice and made some much needed improvements. Stopped wearing it because for whatever damn reason every single bluetooth wearable I have had (two different FitBits, a Withings Pluse, and the G Watch) has caused me nerve complications.

Went to the doctor several times about it because it was getting quite bad and the doctors said there was nothing wrong with me, then I stopped wearing my FitBit and after a while when all the crap with allergic skin reactions came out. I could tell within a week or so the problems were lessening and after a few months the problems all but went away. Got a Withings Pulse as an alternative, within less than a week the problems started reappearing. Got the G Watch, more than a year removed from the last nerve problem, and eventually the nerve problems came back after a few months, stopped wearing it, went away within a week.

Since then the only similar nerve problem I have had is when I injured my elbow, and I have no intention of ever going down the wearable avenue again until something replaces bluetooth.

Cant disagree with any of that. The camera isn't a huge deal breaker for me. OIS, 12mp and 4K video is good enough. Much is personal preference...just like how I prefer the design of the 6 and you prefer the design of the 6p. Both are great phones... and the price right now for the 6 is a ridiculous bargain.

That is really odd. I haven't had any problem like that with my watch.

Yep I have a Jawbone fitness tracker, the old school model you have to sync using the headphone jack on your phone, no problems until it died. Replaced it with some off the wall brand from Walmart that doesn't have bluetooth, no problems there either. So it's pretty clear the bluetooth was screwing me up.
