Nexus 6P Dubai and MENA waiting room - Nexus 6P General

Hello, as you guys know Middle east region have no google play store yet so whoever willing to buy this phone must wait for it to arrive and actually be in stock or let someone order from the countries which have preorders and ship it to him.
for now the Nexus X5 is available in Dubai via mygsm.me 32GB version in stock.
still waiting for 6P and hopefully this thread will help us get the phone as fast as possible..
let us know from where and how to get it first!!
Note: I specified Dubai because most probably it will arrive there then distribute thru the MENA region.

Hi there, It seems jadopado and alshop have limited stocks albeit with high prices...lets see if Huwaei brings it with warranty. To its credit Alshop has an option for warrantt with extra cost but still I wouldn't trust that..

You're right. Dubai is one of the places where we can get latest gadgets exclusively. I've bought my nexus 6p from letstango.com with 1 year warranty. They've their service center inside virgin megastore moe. So I don't really need to worry about the warranty. also they've a better price which we can match with the price in US. Btw, Huawei is officially launching Nexus 6P in UAE by first week of December.

I was just about to hit the buy button for a Nexus 6p from Google play store in the US to be shipped and delivered in UAE. I stopped just to check that I won't make the same mistake I did with the Nexus 5, which is related to LTE 4G.
The US version of Nexus 5 doesn't support the LTE network in UAE of Jordan (where I actually live now).
Would the Nexus 6p US version work with the LTE network in UAE and Jordan? (Etisalat and Zain)

UAE is covered and zain also seems to be using 1800 MHz which is band 3.
So there should be no issues here

Actually there is one more option to buy Nexus 6p now. Expansys.ae is selling it just with a little mark up. They ship it from Hong Kong.
In US, holiday season is approaching, so there are some delays in post services and forwarding services as well.

Looks like it will be in UK Currys PCWorld on 13th

Just searching twitter and I came across these two posts from Currys PC World confirming they will be selling the Nexus 10 on the 13th in the UK.
Good news!
Not sure if we'll be getting more official news nearer the date. Was the Nexus 7 "officially" announced as an in-store release?

Great news! It'll still retail at £389 though right?
Hey guys, I work in Currys/PC world.
The big hint towards us getting the Nexus 10 was when they announced a partnership with Samsung to build a dedicated area for Samsung products. And it looks like Nexus 10 might be one of the main items
Edit: We normally get the Products in days before release, so I'll let you know if/when we do get it. Can't wait to use it and get it out on display
Converted 95% of the customer who came to buy an iPad from me to either Samsung Note 10.1 or Nexus 7's. Now it's time for Nexus 10 to take the limelight :laugh:
Great , Off to Currys then for me on the 13th!
It also says they have a 28 say repair policy for faulty units. That sounds less attractive. Is any other real store stocking them?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Surely its a 28 day exchange policy? Better than Google's 15 day return period.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
21 day return policy according to their website. Any faults and they'll replace it straight away.

Good news, means I can test for light bleed myself, Just hope they don't increase the price at all. I much prefer to buy from shops and walk away with it in my hand.
I'm hoping to find out when argos get it. Got some vouchers I want to make use of.
Funny they announced the nexus 7 32gb before they should have, yet no ones heard of a n10, even though it's been revealed ?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I will pick it up from Curry's on the 13th if the price is no more expensive than direct from Google.
Do we know if it will be the 16 or 32GB version?

PC World/ Currys needs more employers like you, I was a big customer of theirs, but now a days their staff is just horrible, they know very little about their products and its just awkward talking to them, even tho PC World prices can be decent.
Will you stock the 16Gb as well?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
At a guess it will be the 32gb model only. Same as Walmart.
Probably be priced at £389.99 so only a little more expensive than buying from the Play store.

So Nexus 10 is confirmed to be in Currys stores in the UK on launch day. Anyone have any idea whether the Nexus 4 will be stocked anywhere in the UK in stores on launch day?

Not at the price google are selling it for, apparantly LG have recommended a retail price of £599, and all the UK phone shops will take advantage of that, the bets are google are selling them at cost or less than cost to get market share.

LG are pioneering a new Sales strategy, its called 50% ON
I predict extreme results.
They'll never sell that for £600 when you can get it direct from google for 320. That's just stupid.

That can't be true. The phone companies will be selling it for free on contract. Yes the price maybe higher then the play store but it's masked in a 24 month contract.
There's no way it'll be £599 anywhere though. That's nearly £100 more than the S3 was at launch.

Availability outside GooglePlay?

Any information about the availability of the watch in countries with no access to googleplay? or to shops outside Googleplay?
I searched for it on eBay and Amazon. There are some g watch for $290. But I think its too much for a watch so I hope later it will be cheaper and available GSM shops too.
except ebay/amazon, any information about the availability in shops...i mean.
Best Buy is taking preorders.
Mobilefun in the UK has stock for delivery tomorrow (3rd). They often release stuff a day or 2 'early'.

UK Availability Limited!

At the end of my N6 contract and really want the 6P but can't find a monthly contract on line as EE, Vodafone etc no longer stocking 6P. I'm after brand new, not refurbished. Anybody know any third party outlets where still available on tariff or buy sim free. I came across Amazon deals but with limited warranty as they just selling on new goods what they've already bought.

Be advised that they get awful reviews. I just checked a little deeper and their FAQ states the phone might come in an unsealed box.
People also mention delays in posting. Do they really post from UK, it sounds very suspect. BTW on their website they advertise a 128gb 6P for £388

Hey, sorry I didn't respond! The phone arrived in two days in the legitimate box sealed. I'm very happy with this. Worth the �.
EDIT: I meant sealed not unsealed.
Quick delivery, was it brand new. Frustrating that unsealed but glad your happy with it. Still not bought one yet myself, am hoping unlocked mobiles reduce the price nearing Xmas.

LG V30 - How to Purchase in Europe

Hi guys,
Anyone knows the best place to purchase V30 in Europe?
I am currently in Bulgaria and the operators here are unlikely to have it in their inventory. :/
I can't purchase from USA because of customs policy.
Thanks!
I find it very troublesome that 2 months after the introduction, Europeans still don't have a v30.

yeah. agree.
ive posted it before. i saw the V30 at IFA in Berlin and wanted to have it from second one.
but now that the pixel 2, mate 10, razr phone, u11+ were shown. there are plenty of other possibilities. maybe not that full of a package but one could go without some features and buy a phone thats actually available
I guess LG does not have the resources right now to do a massive rollout like the big guys from Samsung, Huawei or Apple. :/

yeah probably but sadly so. what i just dont unterstand is why they cant give clear statements. they could have just said something instead of letting potential customers look and wait. i guess most of the people have bought another phone already or will do so soon.
i want that phone so badly, but even for me its hard to wait any longer with now clear statement.
Btw at least a little bit is going on:
https://geizhals.eu/lg-electronics-...c=uk&hloc=eu&v=e&togglecountry=set#filterform
and one can guess an approximate release from the dealers
something around the 20th of November or in around 3 weeks or in 1-3 month. something in between.
In Europe, the LG V30 is not yet available in normal trade.
In Germany, it is available for a week, but only with a contract and exclusive to the provider 1 & 1. Here I ordered my V30 and I got it on Tuesday last week.
The German Media Markt currently calls a delivery time of 10 days. Therefore, it will be in about 2 weeks as a free device to buy.
Then it will certainly be available at Online Stores that deliver to Bulgaria.
Otherwise there is Ebay. Here first dealers offer the Canadian or the Korean model. But here you should first check whether these devices also support the networks of the Bulgarian network operators.
My advice: wait another 2-3 weeks and then order it at an online store of your choice. The link from the previous post to geizhals.eu is a good tip.
I am waiting for now. In the end if I don't get the V30, I will have to go to the next option - Note 8. But this is my plan B.

I know. But that's LGs fault. Because they are not giving proper Etas not even to the dialers.
Closest thing i found was 20.11 from one dealer on Geizhals. Guess from all we know it will be around that time
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
it's 22.11 and still no word of a clear ETA in Europe.
I wonder if they had some issues with the screens and instead of releasing units with bad screens, they delayed release in markets where the legal warranty is 2 years or more.. to cut back on future expenses with units send back because of such faults

Where to buy from?

Let's get a list of places where this will be selling including importing.
WondaMobile expecting to ship by Oct 15th. This is with 256gb rom £759 which is slightly cheaper than UK pricing with double storage. https://www.wondamobile.com/sony-xperia-5-ii-8gb-ram-256gb-sim-free-unlocked.html
Otto (and maybe others?) offers a promotion product (Sony »WF-1000XM3 True Noise Cancelling«) additional to the mobile: https://www.otto.de/p/sony-xperia-5...2-mp-kamera-1225041412#variationId=1225041413
It is already available here in Sweden since a few days ago for ca 865€ bundled with WH1000XM3 headphones.
I am waiting for the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro but this is tempting too. I could buy it, sell the headphones and get some of the cash back so phone will be closer to my budget but I am not sure if I wanna do that since the front camera is same as on Xperia 1 II and that one was so crappy according to user reviews so what if this one is crappy too. Also no 30w or faster charging like on Chinese brand phones.
Any other places selling the 256gb model?
Be good to know if there is any way to get hold of the elusive grey model here in the UK. Not interested in black or blue, but the overseas sites like Expansys only have black blue or pink. Grey seems to be available in Europe, but not UK - unless Vodafone get it as an exclusive colour which they normally do with Xperias.
Vodafone always last to the party adding Xperias to their site though which is annoying.

Yes, exactly. Poor front camera and also missing wireless charging / face unlock are the real issues that bugs me on such a nice phone for US$950. Still can't understand why Sony used such a bad Samsung (!) sensor on their top tier "Photo Pro" smartphone. That's ridiculous!

Is there anyway you know I can get the Sweden deal from the UK? In the website it appears you can only use Sweden as country for delivery.
That grey model + the better WH1000 compared to the h.ear 3 headphones looks really enticing.

I don't think so unfortunately.
I think all Sony deals are country specific.
Belsimpel had a 300€ cashback offer on Xperia 1 II so could get the phone for ca 735€ after cashback but only if you have a NL address.
Same with this offer, you need Swedish address.
I preordered the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro for 650€. They are giving away Xiaomi Mi Essential Electric Scooter worth ca 300€ for free if you pre order before 21st October.
For me that's a better deal since I don't need headphones and I find the scooter more useful.

For any US buyers I highly suggest getting it from WondaMobile. I ordered mine last Wednesday 10/21/20 and selected free shipping. It was listed as 9-12 business days, but I just got it yesterday 10/26/20. Even shipping from Hong Kong it got here that fast. WondaMobile pays import taxes if you are outside of Europe, and you get more than one color, 5G support, 256gb. I ordered the blue model and it worked with my existing TMobile sim out of the box. It cost me 955 USD, 5 dollar premium to Sony's direct pricing the US, except you the more colors, 256gb, and you get it before December. Sadly no bonus goodies like some EU sellers, but it is easily the best way to get your hands on one in the US.
