I felt the same way. For me, it's the price.... I'm thinking to wait for Moto X 2014, or I'll just buy Nexus 5. I tried Z3 already. Even though it's a nice device, I'd still pick G3 over it. Besides, the price for 32gb G3 in here is already palatable (last I checked, it's below 20k).
[Nexus 6  General] vlawrence0324:
I think it will be available early 2015.
[Nexus 6  General] igeigeige:
found an ad posted on olx, a nexus 6 locally at last, BUT, it is not from a retailer. Only a piece is for sale, brand new from japan. price is 31k, you can find it easily. What can you say about his selling price? :)
[Nexus 6  General] crazykefka:
Hi guys any ideas where I can get a screen protector here in Manila? Got a case from the spigen kiosk in Megamall but they don't carry any protectors yet.

Got my unit as a wedding gift from my wife, brought over by a friend who flew from the US.
[Nexus 6  General] mundixx:
I'm sure you won't see any here unless you have it shipped..
[Nexus 6  General] wuyuepak:
so far I've found one seller on OLX, wouldve gone for it but it's the blue one. :(
[Nexus 6  General] vince_b:
I always thought na hindi gagana ang US-bought unit dito sa Pinas kasi iba yung band nung US version vs International version... so okay naman so far? Inggit ako tagal ko na nag aantay dito wala pa rin binebenta!!
[Nexus 6  General] crazykefka:
I think as long na GSM version yun unit ok lang. I used to have a D820 Nexus 5 before (US version) and ok naman dito, wala lang ako LTE signal sa globe (Smart is fine). Up to HSDPA lang.

Fortunately, the US version of the Nexus 6 (XT1103) works on Globe's LTE band which I'm currently on.

AT&T nga actually yung unit ko, but we were able to get the unlock code since it was paid in full. I just scrapped off the logo in the back with some alcohol and a spare key.
[Nexus 6  General] ickoicko:
Guys let's not forget to speak in English so as other people reading the thread would understand us :D BTW that ad on olx is gone, some lucky guy/girl already bought it :(
[Nexus 6  General] igeigeige:
yeah, also saw that the nexus 6 was already sold, the said ad is deleted few days ago. the price 31k is somewhat i supposed would be the introductory price if it will be sold here by retailers.

I suspect the lucky was one of our fellow Filipino XDA member here! :D

We should wait a month or two to let the price go down first.. Too bad our Nexus 6 won't make it for christmas.. lol.. :laugh:
[Nexus 6  General] vince_b:
Boooo... Google's losing out on not being able to match the demand with enough supply for all over the world! I wonder how the supply (and market price) is in other nearby Asian markets, like Singapore or Hong Kong...
[Nexus 6  General] igeigeige:
Japan already has nexus 6, lets see the price.. :D
[Nexus 6  General] dannaoj:
Does anyone here know where i can find a good screen protector for this n6? :) just got mine last week, shipped from UK and so far it's running great :)
[Nexus 6  General] crazykefka:
Same boat as you. There's a kiosk in Megamall cyberzone that can do a customized cut out for P200. But I'll probably wait for the spigen ones that come out locally next year.
[Nexus 6  General] vince_b:
From where in the UK did you buy it and have it shipped from? Google Play Store UK itself? Good price?
[Nexus 6  General] dannaoj:
i just had my mother buy it for me from carphone warehouse, she just asked some of her friends that's coming home here for Christmas to bring it here :) i think it has a better price than when it becomes available here in the Philippines. Grey markets tend to put a big price tags on nexus devices compared to it's original price when it first comes out
[Nexus 6  General] musashihatred:
you're very lucky :/ i hope i could ask some of my relatives to buy one for me as well.

but my uncle's going back here not until july. that's late. -_-
[Nexus 6  General] RyAnZkiE:
HI Guys , Once the Nexus 6 is available here in the philippines let me notice guys hopefully not late january i will bought that device or if february im not, so much late for us to take it. ok guys im expecting to this site to know about on what update the nexus 6 here in PH , and also i love LOLLIPOP im a Custom ROM/OS user and i love rooted devices so that's why i love NEXUS 6 :D
[Nexus 6  General] mundixx:
This is painful to read.
[Nexus 6  General] RyAnZkiE:
yeah just appreciate the goodness and love of the nexus 6 i dont care about what my grammar does, its just a common sense for the filipino out there..OK !?> sorry guys poor english poor life that's why but my love goes to nexus 6 not to the filipinos crab mentality :D

[Nexus 6  General] crazykefka:
Got a tip from Facebook when I went around asking for a screen protector for the Nexus 6 - cellboy can customize screen protectors for your devices. I just had one customized for me for P300 this afternoon. Basically, they made a cut out from the original film on my Nexus 6.

Here's a list of their branches for those interested. I went to the one in SM Sucat. http://mallstoresdirectory.com/cellboy

Hello Kabayans..

Just a quick feedback, I own both the Nexus 6 64GB and Oneplus One 64GB (I live in the US that's why it's easy for me to buy). Both performs great, no lags, everything is smooth, but feature wise, I like the Oneplus One better because of the flexibility of Cyanogenmod ROM, but of course you can always install Cyanogenmod on the Nexus 6, but that will defeat the purpose of having a "Nexus" .. so here is a quick breakdown:

Features - Oneplus One for me

Screen Quality - same (but I like the Nexus 6 better when reading)

Battery Life - Oneplus One wins (lasts 2 days, compared to Nexus 6 that barely lasts me 1 day)

Build Quality - Nexus 6 feels more premium

Sound Quality - Nexus 6 wins (but no difference when using headphones)

Handling - I like the feel of Oneplus One

Value for your money - no doubt Oneplus One wins

So, as of now my daily driver is the Nexus 6 because I like reading and watching video a lot, but if Oneplus One has the same screen size, I would definitely choose Oneplus One for daily use..

I hope this helps.... salamat!
[Nexus 6  General] igeigeige:
Hi jhepoy,

Thank you for the comparative review! This will help a lot. Anyway, does the back cover of Nexus 6 leave smudges of your fingerprint after holding?
[Nexus 6  General] jhepoy:
Unfortunately YES (I have the midnight blue).. but it doesn't matter as I use a Spigen case.. my coworkers uses DBRAND skins instead.. below are the links of the cases I use:

Nexus 6 just arrived unofficially here in PH

Nexus 6 has landed in our grey market.

Nexus 6 32GB Cloud White - P36,900

Kimstore

Nexus 6 64GB Midnight Blue - P 39,180

WidgetCity

Price is still too steep for me. Might wait it out a bit.

P.S. Sorry if I can't put up some links. XDA doesn't want me too.
[Nexus 6  General] j.go:
Yeah, for something that doesn't come with a proper warranty, it's kinda pricey. I wouldn't mine spending that amount if it had a local service center and/or warranty. Still waiting to see if smart will offer this.
[Nexus 6  General] vince_b:
Thanks!

Fyi I contacted WidgetCity and it seems that the P39180 Midnight Blue is actually 32GB and not 64GB.

Dbgadgets also posted on their Facebook page that they also have 32GB variant available but apparently on the basis of ordering it 3-5 days prior to pick up
[Nexus 6  General] igeigeige:
Oh well, Nexus 6 is still on what they called "introductory price" expect a decent decrease couple of months from now.. Patience is a virtue guys! hehe.. :D
[Nexus 6  General] jannrevv:
Thanks for the heads up bro. I also contacted Kimstore they don't have it yet physically. 1-2 weeks waiting time and no installment plans. straight cash or +9% interest if it is through credit card payment.
[Nexus 6  General] igeigeige:
If you're just around Metro Manila, you can purchase at AJtel, i bought my nexus 10 there few years ago. He has a physical store in greenhills you can visit there to check the nexus 6, plus he also got an account in olx, you can find him there, just type ajtel, He already has stock-on-hand of nexus 6. Hope this helps. :)
[Nexus 6  General] eric_son:
It's now available in Lazada as well. But still a gray market unit of course.

http://www.lazada.com.ph/imported-motorola-google-nexus-6-32gb-blue-xt1103-att-logo-347666.html

I think I'll wait a bit more.
[Nexus 6  General] igeigeige:
dude that Nexus 6 with an AT&T logo is not yet sure if it works with our local band (network providers) here. you may need to get unlock code from AT & T.. regular price of an unlock nexus 6 as of this date is 33k.. :)
[Nexus 6  General] crazykefka:
Works if you get the unlock code. Mine's unlocked from AT&T and is working fine with Globe's LTE network. Had to scrape the logo off and remove the AT&T boot animation though for that stock feel.
[Nexus 6  General] igeigeige:
Wow! That's good news! Anyway, How did you remove the AT&T Boot animation? I would like to know.. hehehe.. :good:
[Nexus 6  General] crazykefka:
Here you go - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2947581

Used a key to scrape off the logo.
[Nexus 6  General] eric_son:
I know. Hence my decision to wait a bit more. :)
[Nexus 6  General] j.go:
Word of caution to those who are on Smart, while the US version of the Nexus 6 does work with Globe's LTE (band 3), it will not work with Smart's band 1.
[Nexus 6  General] igeigeige:
the LG G3 was priced like that on its introductory stage over 30k too.. but look at its current price.. you can buy a brand new for 18k.. lets hope the same for Nexus 6 :)
[Nexus 6  General] jannrevv:
Imports from Lazada now on sale

XT1100 International Version

31,700

XT1103 US Version

31,900

Source: Lazada

Based on my research one buyer waited at least 25 days for his shipment to be delivered. He also paid for customs. I'd suggest waiting for physical stores rather than buying this one but it is good to know that the price is going down.
[Nexus 6  General] vince_b:
Good price indeed on that Lazada posting, but the 25 day wait, not good. Helpful research though, thanks!

I ordered a Nexus 6 online via HK-based 28mobile.com 2 weeks ago --- they supposedly had stock of the 64gb blue XT1100 for 6,499 HKD which was supposed to have been delivered to me already by this week, but unfortunately they haven't been able to ship out a unit to me as of this writing. Apparently I think they're having a a supply issue as well, and I may need to just do a full refund if they aren't able to fulfill the order, which is a bit of a disappointment.

Still keeping an eye out for a 64gb XT1100 blue variant --- am hoping that it will soon just be available locally asap with the likes of Kimstore or DBGadgets.
[Nexus 6  General] toString:
Sorry for posting this here.. But I'm travelling to PH next month with my N6 (and gf!) and I want to get a local sim. (As last time my gf and I went there, we were always getting lost from her family in the mall or needed her brother to pick us up and we had no way to contact anyone without spending a lot with international calls!).

My gf said to me just buy a globe one there. My concern is how readily available the 'nano' type sims are there? Is it common, or should I buy a micro to nano sim cutter?

I remember seeing stands in the airport and mall, but I would imagine you have to go into a real shop to get a sim?

Salamat po :)
[Nexus 6  General] stankyou:
Prepaid sim cards are sold almost everywhere. You should be able to get your hands easily on one. I am not sure how common nano sims are right now though (I haven't bought one yet. Still stuck with my N5).

I would suggest bringing an old dumb phone as backup if in case you urgently need to call someone and no available nano sims are sold when you arrive.

You need to look for this one. http://www.globe.com.ph/prepaid/prepaid-lte-sim?jsid=886DFB0D740CEF09BBF349820A957B6F.41422634572886

Guys, XT1100 is fine on Globe right? Any idea on what model are they selling on Amazon? Pulled the trigger today and bought one because of the price drop. $399 for the 64GB White.
[Nexus 6  General] deodatss:
yup all good. using the same model on Globe, no issues at all. You can check the model number on the spec sheet, Im pretty sure Amazon provided that on their product description :)
[Nexus 6  General] swiftden:
Oh, I got the XT1103, US Version. ? Is this ok here in the Phil? I wonder if this is also compatible in China and HK, because I frequent those places.
[Nexus 6  General] deodatss:
If I remember correctly, there isnt much difference between the two except the LTE Band Support. You should check the LTE Bands in that model if it supports Globe's LTE bands. There shouldnt be any issues, theoretically. But still you should double check first. You might only get 3G signal, but I hope that's not the case :good:

So there is a custom rom that you can use so the US version can support Smart LTE bands?
[Nexus 6  General] NOSTALGIA:
not that i know of..
[Nexus 6  General] welxiii:
This may be a dumb question and may have been answered before...

If our local telecoms support these bands

Globe LTE Support: Band 3 (1800MHz)

Smart LTE Support: Band 1 (2100MHz), Band 3 (1800MHz) and Band 5 (850MHz).

Why will the US version not work on smart if it supports band 3 and 5? or is it just band 1?

is it good or to avoid XT1103 in the Philippines?
[Nexus 6  General] mimsiroll:
just buy the xt1100 version of n6 so that you can use either globe or smart sim.

but the most common product that was shipped was the xt1103 version. or might as well bring a portable lte gadget for that..(forgot the name)
[Nexus 6  General] welxiii:
I got mine from Amazon. Its the XT1103. I get LTE when using a globe sim and H+ on a smart sim. I don't mind as I do not feel any difference from both. YMMV

then your fine.. but it could have been better if its the global version u got

Nexus 6 Repair Store in the Philippines?

My Nexus 6 got bricked recently and I'm unable to restore it to life, no matter what I try (and I've tried a lot of things already)... I wasn't even using the phone, when it suddenly went into an infinite bootloop state that it's still in until now (except when I power it off). Looks maybe like a motherboard issue or something. I had since got a replacement phone already, but I still want to bring the Nexus 6 in for repair, however I'm unable to find a shop here in Manila which knows how to repair it. Even Motorola's authorized repair center in the Philippines (CityLight) is turning me away, and the reason they gave was because I didn't buy the phone in the Philippines (I bought it via Amazon in the UK last Feb 2015 and brought it back to the Philippines).

Does anyone know where I can bring in my Nexus 6 for repair here in the Philippines?
[Nexus 6  General] deodatss:
may I know exactly what you tried to restore your phone? If its just a bootloop, flashing the stock rom will do the trick.
[Nexus 6  General] vince_b:
I think I tried that also (it was a few months ago when it happened) but I ran into a showstopper when the instructions I was following said that if I didn't Enable the 'OEM Unlock' function via the Developer Options config menu before the bootloop happened (which I didn't, sadly), then I've no other option but to bring it in for repair. I can no longer get past the bootloader screen, to this day. Do you have a link to some good instructions on Nexus 6 stock rom flashing which I can try again?
[Nexus 6  General] deodatss:
https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/guide-flash-factory-images-nexus-6shamu-t2954008

have you tried this? follow the long version.
[Nexus 6  General] vince_b:
Unfortunately in these instructions, 'Step 4 Unlock the Bootloader' also has the same requirement, i.e. "Before continuing, users must enable Developer Options in the devices settings and select the OEM Unlock option."
[Nexus 6  General] deodatss:
You can enable OEM unlock in fastboot mode by using this command:

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot reboot

refer to this thread for unlocking your bootloader:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56938530&postcount=1
[Nexus 6  General] kyzn:
That won't help. You still need to have enabled the option in Developer Settings. Running that fastboot command will only return an error. I forgot what it was but it's something like OEM unlock not allowed.
[Nexus 6  General] runekock:
Not that I've tried, but I don't think you need to unlock the bootloader to flash stock. Try doing everything else without the unlock.
[Nexus 6  General] vince_b:
Hi kyzn: yes you are correct
[Nexus 6  General] deodatss:
thats weird, ive used that method before when i soft bricked my nexus 6. but yeah try the suggestion from [MENTION=4610285]runekock[/MENTION] since you're flashing stock rom you wont need your bootloader unlocked
