 [h1]Nexus 6 and 9 prices leak: suggests the times of affordable Nexus is over[/h1]

Google is expected to unveil the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 quietly, without any large press events today, and hours before the anticipated announcement, we’re seeing leaked prices for the Nexus 6 ‘Shamu’ and the Nexus 9 ‘Volantis’. For those expecting to see prices similarly low as on last year’s Nexus devices, this will be a cold shower: German retailers Media Markt and Saturn have listings showing prices only slightly below flagship levels for the two.

The Nexus 6 is listed with a starting price of 569 euro, way higher than last year’s Nexus 5 starting price of 399 euro at the same retailer. Note that last year, those retailers quoted prices 50 euro higher than those on Google Play, but even if the same scenario plays out this year, we’re still looking at a price of at least 500 euro (which usually translates into a retail price of $500 in the United States). While still not as expensive as a flagship smartphone, this is a hefty price tag when compared to Nexus prices from the last two years.
 

The Nexus 9, on its part, is listed with a starting price of 399 euro (which usually means that the U.S. price will be $399) for a basic 16 gig Wi-Fi-only model. A 32GB Nexus 9 will retail for 489 euro in Europe, and 32GB with 4G LTE goes for 569 euro.
 

This pricing puts the Nexus series in much more direct price battle with other Android flagships, as well as with Apple’s iPhones and iPads. Would you still buy a Nexus at that price?

Don't know how I feel about those prices

 

[AZwildcats]

Those prices might have just kept the N5 in my pocket for another year

 

[carver]

Y'all thought y'all was gonna all that for a budget again?

 

[rillo561]

Yeah if it's $500,probably won't be picking it up.

 

[jkballer5]

Is that just the full retail pricing? Will there be discounted upgrade pricing too?

Might look into copping this as my first Android since the Droid Incredible

 

[suberzat1]

Might have to get that contract with AT&T

This thing is big... Next to an iPhone 6 plus..

Sorry, guys. Some are reporting that this is fake. It's not the Nexus 6. It's the Moto X and the iPhone 6

 

[stay lurkin]

iPhone 6 in landscape mode? Unless that is a picture on the 6

Never understood people like this.

I thought the iPhone 6 doesn't have landscape mode?

Yea I was thinking maybe a screen shot

 

[jewelknows]

Gotta sell this iPad to find that nexus 9. I can't wait. Might hold off on the nexus 6 unless we at least see a spec bump for the 5

 

[antidope]

Welp, this N5 is riding it out if thats the case. Not paying for that no way.

 

[AZwildcats]

Only real reason I stuck with the Nexus line was the price. If I'm gonna pay $500+ I'm going with the Note 4

 

[furiousstylezz]

Are you using CM11 nightlies? Try another rom thats based on CM 11.

Not on CM11 nightlies. I'll have to check that out.

 

[rillo561]

People will buy it, but I feel like they just priced out a lot of their base, if the price is true.

The price of the Nexus line has only been a minor part of the attraction for me. An unadulterated, pure Google experience with timely updates outweighs a cheaper upfront cost for me. The Note is a nice phone, but it still has TouchWiz...and that's pretty awful.
