Indian Custom Duty and Sales Tax+ Octroi add to the US price.:laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Bro these handsets are imported from South Korea. Not the US. And the import price is CIF which is far lower than retail prices.

Customs Duty and other levies are calculated on CIF price.
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
16gb may be ... not 32gb for that price.

I'm not whining...i just meant its not too cheap in India

Yup we can get S4 in 33-34k and G2 in 36-37k 32GB which aint bad

LG G2
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
I'll tell you what they will do given this outburst & drama. They will NOT include India in the list of eligible countries in the next context. :p Oh I love the trademark desi reaction - one of the favourites being screaming "Racism!".....among others. LOL! :D :laugh:

That said, I am no means condoning their differentiation between countries where the Nx7 2013 was launched or not. If it is an international competition then the prizes must be the same for all. But I read Nestle has remedied the situation and all Indian prize winners will get the Nx7 2013 edition. Lucky folks. Coz I didn't know about this contest and eventually had to pay for mine. ;)

---------- Post added at 12:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------

Not aimed at you bro...it's just the general flavour of this thread that I saw when I joined it after getting my Nx5. Also, it is unrealistic to expect a phone like the Nexus 5 priced at cut rate or cheap levels. You wont get cheap anywhere. It is just a matter of price differentiation across different countries due to corporate policies, local taxes etc. etc. I don't feel so bad for us...check EU prices for electronics..higher for almost anything sold. . :D :D Oh those poor rich Europeans, they are getting ripped off.

bugs in new update

guys 4.2.2 is reportedly have bugs.. so dont go for update yet. read somewhere in the net.:cyclops:
[Nexus 5 General] samerotica:
I can't find any...
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
That's what I was saying.. :( But if they still do release nexus phone next time in India, I hope they don't do the same that they did with n5. I hope they include India right the time of US release. :P Also, I hope they also give us the option of "advance replacement" for RMA. And the pricing to be similar to US pricing more or less. But that's a dream... but then again n5 early release in India was a dream too and google did fulfill that dream of ours.. so who knows ;)

Something important..everyone who wants to buy nexus 5 from playstore..order it before 16 December..coz from 16 December,google's shipping holidays will start.

.so place your orders as soon as possible..Janhit mein jaari..;)
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
I think price wise we are competitive with only the US being cheaper as I have illustrated in another post. That is Google's and Apple's home country so it probably gets preferential treatment. ;) The nature of the US market is such that any electronics manufacturer offers the best prices there. But I don't lose heart knowing that I have paid very competitive prices for some of my photography gear even compared with the US. No complaints there. Continuing competitive prices are possible PROVIDED the INR remains stable and doesn't tank again next year before or after the elections.

As for the Nx6 coming on time..i don't think that's too far fetched. Just 1-2 years ago Apple use to look down upon the Indian market with disdain claiming there was demand for only cheap handsets. And the only market in Asia worth considering was China. 2011 & 12 were the years in which they were proven wrong...and how! Now they scramble to introduce their products in India, offering EMI and trade in schemes to attract customers. Yes, the price is very high but then those are positioned as premium products, whether we like it or not or agree with them or not.

The next Nx will also be here on time instead with a parallel release. We can all be hopeful. I certainly look forward to it. As for advance replacement, that too is possible provided you hold a valid credit card.

The point I am trying to make is yes, these things are certainly possible as Google gets a handle on the Indian market. Lets cross our fingers and hope for positive change in the years to come. :good:
[Nexus 5 General] neobuddy89:
What is china model of N5 ? :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Valid credit card?
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Yes, in the US and wherever they provide advance replacements it is done against a CC. This is a safeguard against any cheating. The sad fact is unfortunately some customers attempt to cheat. So if the customer don't ship the faulty unit back or the unit is damaged or accessories missing they will charge your CC to recover the costs. And the card is validated with the CC company and the amount pre-authorised before the advance replacement is shipped. So advance replacement will not come without this or other safeguard in place.

Many other electronic manufacturers follow this policy..e.g. computer parts like hard disk drives, SSDs etc.

4.4.2 Is FINEEE

Guyz , many have not received the 4.4.2 Update on Nexus 5 , but i see them quoting websites here and there complaining about the the update 4.4.2 causing MORE problems , From my own Experience of using the Nx5 on 4.4.2 from past 2 days i can say

The UPDATE DOES WHAT IT SAYS and

* DOES NOT CAUSE ANY PROBLEM .

*that's my personal experience .

UPDATE IF YOU WANT and Don't Complain unless Experience any Problem :good:
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
No issues here either. Sideloaded yesterday. Working Gr8. :good:
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
No issues as of now caused by the 4.4.2 update. The phone is working fine.
[Nexus 5 General] samerotica:
The only problem is the distortion on calls to other party if you use hands free. It could be due to network. Rest all good.

[Nexus 5 General] abhi98228:
so i have orderd nexus 5 black 32gb and in status it shows pending so does it mean my order isnt purchased yet and its pending or order is placed but shipping is pending
[Nexus 5 General] _dimitri_:
It means your order has been placed but they have not dispatched it yet it will get updated once they will dispatch it
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Please check if your credit card/debit card account has been debited for an amount equal to the price of the unit. Pending generally means payment pending or payment method (CC/DC) verification pending. But it could also mean they are awaiting stocks.

If the money has been charged to your CC/DC account then it's probably a matter of stock availability. For the most accurate status update, call the Google Support team.

Just a quick note. Google doesn't send shipping email updates with tracking numbers. Neither do they update your account status. This is my experience during the order placement and the RMA process. So if your payment has gone thru you should receive the handset soon

I went to a LG showroom asking for N5 32 gb. they had only one device in stock. I asked them if I can check the device and then pay. they said no. Asked if i buy the device and find the issue - dead pixel, loose power button in the shop itself will it replaced, they said that I need to go to the LG service center and there they may repair it or replace it based on the defect. When asked - why should i take a brand new device to a service center they said there is no other option. Also they argued the google RMA process saying that one has to spend courier charges for RMA and also run the risk of device not reaching google via courier etc.. they are basically like - take it if you want or get lost.
[Nexus 5 General] samerotica:
Nexus = Attitude
[Nexus 5 General] sameer8019:
do u get any order confirmation email from google yet???
[Nexus 5 General] adityameena26:
No..only order reciept when i paid for my device..got nothing after that..!!
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
This is the attitude with any other shop dude. Be it a nexus or any other handset for that matter. My dad also deals in electronic items(AC,LED,LCD etc) and if there is an issue found exactly after u open the box, you have to take it to the service center. THIS IS THE PROCEDURE. Dealers/wholesalers/Distributors owns the stock, they don't have to give you the replacement as they are not in the power of doing so.
[Nexus 5 General] adityameena26:
Exactly..and i also heard bout 15 days guarantee on all electronics items given by manufacturer against all defects and functionality failure etc.I think one can apply for that if found his device 'dead pixeled' or whatever..:thumbup:
[Nexus 5 General] netcitizen:
personally seen samsung and nokia phones replaced as they have plenty of stocks and dealers also have good rapport with those brands.

also taking a new device to service center is BS.
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
I don't know abt other cities or neither I can comment on that, but in PKL and Jammu, dealers don't do this. Be it for apple, samsung, nokia, samsung or even XOLO. They don't allow this and if u get any problems u have to go to service center. Only time they do give you a new phone if the phone you buy and open in front of them and the phone doesn't start at all. That can be an exception.
[Nexus 5 General] adityameena26:
Some shopkeepers provide low level heat to the seal sticker and open it without 'tempering' it.If the customer buy it..they simply give it to them,and if not then they simply pack it by applying some glue type of thing.I personally dont find it good coz you cant be sure that the device you are purchasing is brand new or they 'made' them new by applying some glue..so..be sure about what you buy..!!

As far as i can tell. They wont notify you by any means, courier guy will pick your device up. you will get tracking id.

it will get delivered the next day probably and you will receive the replacement the very next day after delivery. I dont think they even bother to check the issue, they just send the replacement

you wont get any tracking number for replacement it will just come without any notification. i know it sucks but it is what it is :(

BTW my replacement was picked up today. hoping to get perfect one now. :fingers-crossed:

Yes, US Nexus and rest of the world Nexus are two different devices but both of the devices are selling pretty well. They are selling out in couple of hours. Google is not in position to fulfill such high demand. It's manufacturer (LG) is the problem. LG do not supply enough units because they want to sell their own devices specially G2 or they are simply not as efficient as Samsung.

The thing is, Nexus is released in only few countries (not sure how many but I think it's release in 7 countries) and Google is still not able to satisfy Nexus demand. Then why would they open more new markets if they cannot supply.

That being said, we and other countries like us (I think Brazil) will get Nexus as soon as Google will able to control supply chain and demand cool down.

So, if Google have enough supply then it might be a matter of couple of weeks.

From the leaked specs of n5 I thought the 32 GB model will have 3100 mah battery. But play store specs says both model have 2300 mah battery. Is it like this only for India?

IMO Google is the one to control supply and not LG is just a manufacturer given an order to produce the device. And I just wonder why they make so less devices. Maybe they just want to assess the demand. Coz it's very much clear that nexus devices are not so famous coz they are not advertised unlike other major manufacturer's devices.

Anyways what we can do is wait and watch.
