Hi guys,
On March 15th I am moving from Brisbane to London for a duration of time which is yet to be decided. I've had my Nexus 5 for 3 years and it has served me well, so I am hoping to stick with a Google phone. I don't need to use the phone for anything special other than basic social media, calls/text, email and taking photos (though I will be picking up a new camera soon, stay tuned for that forum topic) - but a good camera is always a plus as I will be doing a lot of travel.
This is where I need help:
What are people's thoughts on the Pixel vs the 6P? The cost of the Pixel is a little off putting ($1k+), but the 6P is still sitting at around the $650 mark from most retailers. Google Assistant isn't something I could see myself using a whole lot, so that's not a big draw card. My only concerns with the 6P are that (a) it's a bit bigger than I would like and (b) that I'm concerned that the phone will become outdated a lot sooner, especially in terms of updates. So my question is - is it worth paying an extra $350+ for a phone that is, for my expectations of use, only slightly better? Would love to hear from people that have used both phones.
Second point is: where is best to purchase from keeping in mind (a) cost and (b) the fact I am moving overseas? I saw the thread a few days ago about the guy who was travelling and his Pixel died - the last thing I want to do is to buy a phone now and be unable to make a warranty claim because I am not in the Country of purchase.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
xiaomi note 3 international edition, $230 is much better choice IMO. Pixel is a joke for ozbargainers.
Nex5 was the last true value nexus (except when the 5x dropped in price so dramatically).
