Galaxy Nexus was being sold at US$669 and now it costs US$609 (US$60 less), just US$30 more than the Galaxy S2. The Nexus got cheaper today at Expansys USA.
However the Galaxy S2 is still at the same price of US$579. Wish the S2 to drop in price like the Nexus...
Do you think that the S2 will drop in price to US$499 after the release of S2 Plus which is going to be announced at MWC?
pretty good price drop i still got mine for $560 from daily steals but the s2 is definitely due for a price drop soon, it's been out for a while.

No. Price drops for old technology are completely unheard of. Never happened, never will.
I believe that you're wrong.
If the Galaxy Nexus has dropped its price then the Galaxy S2 will drop its price soon, too.
What if the S2 drops its price just to fake out the Galaxy Nexus and then a few days later after the Galaxy Nexus drops its price the S2 goes back to the original price and the Galaxy Nexus is all

GNexus has been $595.50 shipped at Negri Electronics for a couple weeks now...
And obviously the S2 will get cheaper and cheaper as time goes on.
Depends. Older techs do drop in retail pricing.
The one big exception is Apple products. You always want to time ur apple purchases. Because Apple rarely drops their prices unless they up locally release new product and want to clear the old inventory.

Hi, anyone knows haw many GNexs have been sold worldwide??
I'm just curious...
You really believe someone here has that number?

Some people extrapolated a very rough number based on the ICS market share % of all Android numbers a while back (when the Galaxy Nexus was the only ICS device).
You could dig that up, but there are no solid numbers for this.
OK, is just a question... because stadistics of Iphone and SGII sales are everywhere...
Thanks...
Most of the time when sales numbers are released for a specific device it's because they sold a boat load of them and are bragging.
My guess is that the sold Galaxy Nexus is number is nowhere near the SGSII and 4s.
They won't release figures for the Galaxy Nexus because it would be embarrassing.
the reason why they probably haven't sold a boatload is because of the price, it's truly ridiculous if they undercut the price of the S2 they would have sold much much better

Yes, sell a brand new phone for less than an old phone...
And the only reason why it was so expensive in the US is because the GSM model had to be imported, which increases the price quite noticeably. In the rest of the world it wasn't any more expensive than other high end phones.

Lul wut? It was exactly the same price on Verizon and will be on all the other carriers when it is subsidized. The reason it didn't sell a ton is because it wasn't ever meant to. Google doesn't put out the Nexus line to be a sales leader.

I want to buy a nexus smartphone but confused with S, Q variants of nexus smartphones. Which one will be best to buy???
Nexus Q is not a phone.
Nexus S is ancient.
Your only current phone option is the Galaxy Nexus.

Is galaxy nexus worth buying?
It's really up to you. Rumours are around that the Nexus phone is getting a revamp soon (within the month) however it may or may not be priced at the $350 mark. If I were you, I'd just wait it out a bit and see.

I would rather wait a few weeks for a new Nexus.
I just grabbed a gnex last week. For 349.00 it was a good deal IMO. The hardware is still relevant and pretty snappy.
Not to say I wouldn't grab the next iteration if it was priced right although I believe it will probably be somewhere in the 600 range. Wasn't that the price of the unlocked Google gnex last year?

$349 when it reached U.S. markets. When it was outside U.S. markets it was ~$700 - $649 before it had to be imported internationally.
VZW users got it for $199 on two-years with ~$529ish off contract but is incompatible with GSM networks
Galaxy Nexus will still be relevant after the next Nexus device comes out. The Nexus S is still relevant, it has good developer support.
wait for the new nexus device made by LG, it will be released within a month or two.
If not, the current nexus (Galaxy nexus) is sufficient.
i would probably wait another month or so if/when the new Nexus comes out. If you don't like it, the Galaxy Nexus will be even cheaper at that time.

Rumored that other manufacturers will release their version of a Nexus as well so there won't be just one Nexus device this year but multiple.
Agreed with what MarkGbe says. Galaxy Nexus will go down in price, Nexus S will go even lower (or be discontinued)

Why do you want a U.S. retailer when you are located in India? Not many big known 'retailers' sell GSM Galaxy Nexuses in stores. Maybe the local random shops. They are normally distributed online, but in that case why don't you order it from someone near you or in Europe? Less shipping costs.
Please do some research beforehand as you haven't done much researched before posting this thread thinking that Nexus Q was a phone. We're just here to answer your question but you need to do at least put effort into answering them on your own. If you find it confusing or whatever, then ask. And if any of us helped you out please press the thanks button.
Who knows maybe the current nexus will actually be taken off the market due to the Samsung vs Apple case that keeps going on. Apple has filed a case against the current nexus and the SG3 I believe...& i don't think they will give the new phone a $350 value they will def start it off around $700 get sales and gradually drop it down till the $350 mark as they did with the current..
I don't think it will come out till December anyway (just in time for the holidays) so if you can't wait till then I suggest you just buy this...
Sell your current phone + when the new nexus comes out you can sell this GNex for atleast a $100-$200 which is not bad at all. The previous nex still goes for $100 which is amazing.

OP lives in India not in America. That case will take ages to settle, by the time it finalizes. The next Nexus device will be out done by HTC, LG, Samsung, Motorola and it'll become irrelevant.
It was $700 because it was imported from Europe and had a monopoly, Off-contract in Europe and places were never $700ish. Prices started to stabilize and go for ~$529ish on Newegg at that point and then Google revived the store and sold the GN for $350. Rumored was that LG Nexus is starting out at 8GB, so you're wrong that there won't be a "value" Nexus device.
The difference this time around will be that Google will sell it through their Play Store stabilizing prices from day one. Google wants people to have their Nexus devices, not to make a extreme profit -- hence, $99 Nexus tablet? $199-$249 Nexus 7 tablet with $25 play store credit? they're not that greedy.
& I stand corrected...
but I still do not believe that they will release a 8gb device...If anything that will be a media player? not a phone as Samsung has been doing lately...
You make me feel like I made a bad decision now lol I am suppose to get my nexus in the mail today
I live in India too. You can't use Sprint or Verizon. If you want to buy it, you'll have to buy the unlocked GSM variant from he Google play website. Although this won't be available from India. If you have a friend in the US, ask him to order it for you. That's what I did, and I'm loving it

Now that Google Play has replaced the $350 Galaxy Nexus with the N4 at $300/350 are there still new Galaxy Nexus being sold at a discount? If there is still new stock remaining I would think they go for less, if not now once the N4 ships.
I was disappointed the N4 doesn't have LTE and was thinking that a lower cost GN would do until there was an LTE model.
I'm sure you could find one on craigslist or ebay right now, but they aren't on the Play Store anymore.
I bought mine one year ago, and I still see local stores, that sell it, some even didn't drop the price since than, I don't get it? where the hell the get them? or any other old Galaxy like I9000 or I9100?
Most of the ones available around me are remanufactured. There are a few scattered on eBay for BIG $ which is ridiculous. The phone is great though.

Hello there,
Giving that Nexus 4 has been out for a while and that Nexus 5 is just under the horizon, my opinion is that there are no new Galaxy Nexus'es made. That's just why prices of the SH ones are rising.
Just my two cents...
I wanted to buy the note for some time, but i was disappointed in the sprint launch of note 3 so i wanted to know if the price will drop for the note 2 when the note 3 comes out. Right now i see a price of $249.99 for upgrade but how much lower will it drop or will it even drop the price?

it could drop to 200$,but most likely, they will discontinue selling the note 2.

You could always buy mine for 350. Comes with 3 zero lemon batteries, 1standard case for the regular battery, a thin case and a screen protector. Only flaw is a crack that runs from left to right. Its a perfect line.

Price on note 3 vs note 2
So yesterday I went to Best buy to pre-order the galaxy gear, and none of the ppl there knew what what the galaxy gear. So I continued looking around the Samsung kiosk that they have setup in store... mean while geeks search and educate them self's over the Galaxy Gear. I could help notice that the galaxy note 2 still have a price tag of 800 US dls... while the note 3 is being release for the same price. unless you are upgrading.. AT&T and Verizon is only 250, Sprint has their's for 350.
i see... thanks for the observation.. i see on amazon that sprint note 2 is on sale for 149.99 for upgrade you think i should take or not.. i never bought a phone fro mthere before
It's probably going to drop to $99.00 cause I have seen it as low as $149 depending on where you look. Radio Shack and Amazon are usually cheapest. Once the Note 3 drops it could even go as low as $49.99. GSIII's are free at Sprint right now.
When upgraded devices come out the price on the old hardware always drops while it is still carried. That just depends on what direction you want to go with your purchase. You can get the newest device or buy the Note 2 which in my mind is still new. I would review the device specs closely and decide which device will fit your needs.
Sprint has been having deals on the phones when they release. S4 had a bogo so who knows what they will do when it comes out. I'm with you I want the note 3 but I don't want to pay 350 for it. I've been debating on getting the nexus 5 or note 2.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
thanks for the reply people. i ordered my note 2 on amazon for 149.99 i know that it may go down to 99.99 or cheaper when note 3 comes out but i cant wait for it. im using a busted up blackberry 9630 and it has really bad problems even with texting and phone calls loll ive played around with the note 2 on my cousins phones and i know how the developements are. if only note 3 was triband and a 300 price tag i would buy it but right now none of the options came up. so ill stick with my note 2 when it comes so i can put the cleanrom ace with perseus kernel that is truly amazing. its coming on tuesday and i ordered it last night! this will be a good enough phone till the note 4 comes out and which i can use my other line's upgrade next year for it and give the other person the note 2 =)
I was contemplating getting the Note 3 but I think I am over the big screen for now. I will probably return at some point but the N3 didn't have enough wow factor for me. I am actually looking to trade my Note 2 for a Moto X lol.
Anyone interested
