It WAS that price yesterday, but that was converted from dollars. You can add 10% after todays shenanigans.

Good price and 16GB is enough for some people, but not everyone, which is great because we are all different. :wink:

Memory information:

16GB of internal memory.
128 GB of expandable memory (memory card not included).
Type of memory card required: microSD.

Really Argos? Really???!

Because the concept of "heat" is based on the price of the item at that point in time, rather than whether you think the item is something you like or not. Simples.

Heat for a good price.

Hopefully Amazon will price mate then flubit will do for around 160

Argos NEVER get mobile phone details right

Handset must be purchased with £10 airtime. This will automatically be added to your transaction. Handset not available without airtime.

It's simfree u don't need 10 pound credit

Fast charging is crap on this thing unless you turn the phone off too, barely any quicker than my old SU6 which had a bigger battery.

It's stated in the product description under the head 'General Information'.

Price is good but the 32GB was 269.99 3 weeks ago, I doubt that this was ever that price... Also 32GB on amazon from 198.99 + 5.99 delivery..

ftfy

Ive heard bad things about the battery on this, how bad is it (im probably counted as a light phone user)

probably go for moto 4g if you don't need nfc

Gurenteed updates ​

I'm seeing cheaper from soundhug, not fulfilled by amazon but still

...so you are asking for troubles

Google Publishes End-of-Life Dates for Guaranteed Nexus Support (XDA-Developers)

Safer than the usual eGlobal deals :wink:

excellent phone and great buy. Hot

just to make you aware.....one the battery life on these things is abysmal...and two make sure you really want this phone as Argos, along with all others won't take the thing back under unless there is a genuine fault...they test all phones now. not like the good old days where you could return it saying it was running hot or calls cur out. be warned

This or the LG g3 for the camera?

now if only the 6P would come down to this price...

cold - wanted white

Xiaomi Redmi note 3pro for £121 is the way to go. :sunglasses:

S5 for about £150 with a battery charger pack is way to go.

Good phone. Nice cam on it>
Decent review here:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/9742/the-google-nexus-5x-review/7

So, just to clarify, this camera is even better than the g3?

808 Snapdragon has had crazy overheating issues, throttling
Memory not expandable
Full HD screen is standard, alot of QHD/2K kicking around now
2GB RAM is nothing special, most have 3GB+ nowadays
Adreno 500 series is out, 510, 530, etc... this is good, but not amazing
Battery is pretty small (min. for most phones is 3000mA)

I think its decent specs for the money, but only due to the discount, its alright at 179, but at 279 you're getting ripped off. Get a OnePlus 3 for that kinda money, or perhaps a Xiaomi ^^

​

hot

what's the best Android phone currently on the market?
what Android phone has the best camera?

thanks :smiley:

this or moto g?

What's the battery life like on this one? Better than the nexus 5?

It's was still the same earlier today when I checked.

It's was still the same earlier today when I checked.

It's was still the same earlier today when I checked.
The quality and price of the phone is worth the risk imo. I'm over the moon with mine.

The point he is making is while the price is the same you are getting less USD to the GBP so net will cost you more.

Amazed at the heat for this. How much memory is usable out of the 16gb? Anyone who gets this is realistically setting themselves up for compromise.
So many better choices at this price point.

Sorry but have to vote cold.

Around 12gb I believe which is more than enough for most people

Cloud services are great if you have fast broadband and decent mobile data coverage but there are plenty of people who don't.

I can almost understand people buying a 16gb iphone as a posing accessory but this is hardly an item of desire.

If anyone is seriously saying that this is the most sensible option at this price point, based on SoC, build quality, camera, storage, RAM etc they are deluded tbh.

E.G. Honor 5C, Xperia Z3 Compact, Redmi 3 Pro need I go on?

I hated this phone, then after the update a few months ago I loved the phone again, then I hated it again. I've now bought a OnePlus 3. The Nexus 5x, well at least my Nexus 5x, has something wrong with it. It is not responsive, it lags and it feels like a very out date. The patch released a few months back fixed this, but it didn't last. Factory resets, cache clear outs, and farting with every setting under the sun has never resolved it. I bought the phone as I loved the Nexus 4. I handed over my Sony Z3 to the wife. It was the day my battery died and I borrowed her phone, my old Sony, did I truly realise that my Nexus was not right. I would avoid, regardless of this deal or any others.....PS. Selling a Nexus 5x, pm me if interested.

Been debating between this, a Oneplus X, a Honor 5X, or the Moto G4. Tempting but the comments are putting me off

Huummmm do I need this, or stick with my nexus4 for a bit longer.

This vs Honor 7?

Waxedperfection,In the same position I love my nexus4 and would love to hear why I would be much better off with this 5X?

I would take a screenshot of the description if buying and thinking of returning, as Argos might change it when they realise.

I bought this exact phone from Argos 2 weeks ago for £270. Doh!

Ask yourself this, it's this price for a reason.......?

All on Amazon I'm taking it?.

flubit will get you the 32gb for under 195
just got mine delivered for 194 and thats the 32gb one
certainly worth the extra 15 pounds

I have considered this more than once, but so many others have complained of the same issues, and it would be hard to prove as factory reset brings it back to life, allbeit breifly. The lag is subtle but ebbing and it shouldn't be for a phone of its specs.

Just to chip in, wifi vs Bluetooth /4g does save battery in general.

Buy smart ultra 6. All specs are good.

decent price but 16gb + no sd card slot = deal breaker

Hi, sorry to go off topic but did you experience any overheating issues with your G4? I have read a lot about it in the forums and have held off from buying it. Thanks.

Amended for you.

"Shenanigans" is the understatement of the century.

I know there is a lot of xxxx or this, but...

LG G4 or this?

I don't use any extended memory so the 16gb is enough.

Cheapest £178 @ebay.

​exactly. local storage is so last decade

Totally agree, Nexus along with cryogen only get constant ota updates.

Waiting for the 2016 models, snapdragon 821 plus 4gb, hopefully around the 300gb mark

Love the Nexus phones but I've learnt my lesson not to buy phones or tablets with a maximum storage of 16gb. If the memory was expandable I would be all over this.

True but at £180 vs the Honor 7 which is £250, this is very tempting.

Did you mean The Moto G4 or the LG G4? That suffered from overheating causing bootloops on some models made prior to October 15.

Is this better than a Moto G4

I meant the Moto G4 or Moto G4 Plus. Thanks.

£170 including delivery :smiley:

Cold from me I am afraid.
No micro SD slot?...
A micro SD slot is essential for me,as I have over 100gb of music on my card.My phone has now replaced my Ipod Classic 160gb,so without the micro SD slot,I would be back to carrying around 2 devices instead of one.
I was going to get the OnePlus 3,but that doesn't have an micro SD slot either,so I will stick with my (now unlocked £5,fleabay) Huawei P9 Lite,that came in from Vodaphone at £160 (but now using my free calls/texts/data Talktalk sim that comes with my TT fibre/telephone/TV bundle).
When are the manufacturers going to get it into their thick skulls,that micro SD card compability is a must for some of us?....

​no overheating issues with mine, love it to be honest!

And those that don't?

OK look, this is a good deal. It's probably the cheapest you can get this phone for. That's what you're voting on. Not whether it's any good for yourself. Personally I could never have a phone without an SD slot so I wouldn't buy this, but I can see it's a good deal compared to the other retailers' prices for it.

A GB of mobile data once from the cloud costs much more than a GB of SDCard which can be read thousands of times.

Em - the specs are the same apart from RAM, screen size & resolution, one of the cameras, battery size, manufacturer, storage (probably), ...

:-)

So you would vote a dog turd hot as long as it was cheap?

My Honor 7 is running Marshmallow. I believe the 4x and 6 are also on Marshmallow. The 5C is Marshmallow out of the box, and I believe the 5x is currently in beta test.

Good price, just shame it wasn't 32gb version. Personally for me the 6p is the better choice as being an ex nexus owner the 5X wasnt the great leap over the original N5.

​A few weeks ago, you can get the Honor 7 for £210, but not atm. For the price, the 5x is not bad.

Not a fair comparison is it? Does anyone pay money for dog poo in your part of the world? If so it may be. But clearly comparing a LG smartphone to a dog poo is not logical or even remotely sensible.

On the other hand, if you can find a cheaper deal for this phone then post it and I will join you in voting cold on this deal.

Quit holding out on us Solly, and let us know where you're getting them.

It was a fair an logical extension of your claim that heat comes from price regardless of people liking or wanting the item.

Slower than built in FLASH but still much faster (and cheaper) than cloud. Generally what Google want is good for Google not for users.

I give up! Your statement is only logical if you are willing to pay for dog poo. When was the last time you paid for some one else's poo? How is that logical? Reminds me of a quote:

"Don’t argue with idiots because they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience. —Greg King"

When it was on sale I didn't have enough money :disappointed:

I've been through the archives and can confirm that a dog turd has never appeared on this site.

Possible to cancel the collect in store order for a refund back to the credit card?

Hot deal for what this phone is. Bought this in the eGlobal deal last week, if I'd have known I'd have waited and got it from Argos for UK supplier warranty.

Came from an Honor 7 to this because the EMUI that Huawei use on their devices ruins the experience for me. Battery life isn't as bad as people make out then I flashed ElementalX kernel and now I get 2 days intermediate use.

Got one reserved for collection tomorrow. Trying to resist...... but it's not working!

​what is?

Excellent price for this phone, have some heat.

​new nexus 5 is incoming from HTC, so surplus stock being sold off

The new Nexus 5X will probably by £300+ for probably just a slight gain in performance, given that Nexus phones get at least 2 or 3 years firmware/security updates this is tempting buy but will the 32GB version drop below £200 shortly??

​Flubit

Not for everyone but just noticed this at 249.99 in Dixons at Heathrow Airport, with there price beat. It can be had for about 107

I just bought the redmi note 3 pro 3gb model for £111. Not sure whether to cancel and get this though hmm

Much rather get a Moto G 4th Gen.

I just called Manchester Airport who say none of their travel stores are stocking the 16GB only the 32GB. Shame as it would have been great otherwise!

I'm genuinely interested as to why? :smiley:

Great price definitely a hot deal. I'm stuck for choice I sold my HTC one m8 for the Nexus 5 my contact ends in September. Love the HTC design on their phones hearing they are making the new Nexus 2016 my point is do I risk buying this or even a cheaper 6p in the future or hold out to see what the next new Nexus brings out. BTW the n5 is a brilliant phone shame it doesn't come with android n but the speed of my n5 is amazing with 5x heard so many mixed reviews

Anyone reckon Amazon or currys or cpw will price match this at all ​

surely 3gb redmi is the better spec phone? or is it the android updates your wanting the 5X for?

Why are people so bothered about Android updates anyway? There's barely any difference from one to the next.

Because it's not always what you can see - Nexus is the only Android base that guarantees security fixes on a regular basis. And also some of the not visible functionality.

Typical as i've just bought a Nexus 5 32GB for £115, did look at the 5X but it loses the wireless charging function and has the C-Type connector.

The Nexus 5 is the smoothest device around. I miss mine but the battery, camera and speaker are sh*t​

Way ​better camera, better warranty and yeah android n looks good

Anyone know Argos returns procedure if you don't like it, is it a full refund no questions asked type returns pro?, Just I'm not sure on this or the 6p.

Got mine today, good stop gap until my contract is up. My HTC m8 didn't last the two years I needed it to. Now I can wait for the new Nexus phones at the end of the year.

​Automatically refunded if not collected after a few days I believe.

Just make sure you buy it online, in store customer service is horrendous

Has to be unopened and unused for in store, online may be slightly more lax., Would buy through their ebay site just to be sure.

Picked mine up yesterday after I smashed my moto x play.

Seems good. Thanks op

where from please x

anyone else have rather flaky packaging? my box could easily be opened as only one seal on one edge. contents seem ok but rather concerning that box not even shrink wrapped. i wonder of these aren't warranty returns?

I've had the 32GB model for a few days now, got it for £191 through Flubit which I think was a bargain.

So far it's been fantastic. The screen is probably the best I've had on any smartphone so far, including AMOLED screens. Amazing viewing angles. General usage is pretty zippy and there's something about a Google phone that has that apple-ish "everything just works" feel to it.

The camera is definitely the highlight though. The last good camera phone I owned was a Nokia Lumia with OIS. The 5X beats it easily and utterly demolishes my Lenovo K3 Note. Focusses quick, does well in low light and some of the pictures it can produce are astonishing. The one downside I'd say is the lack of any video stabilisation but if you root the phone you can actually add this feature in.

I fail to see how these are downsides to be honest. C-Type = faster charging, and wireless charging is pretty rubbish in general.

Packaging is identical to one I purchased 4 months ago direct from Google. Eco friendly, minimal/no plastic used.

Ooooh err missus.

I wonder if, after buying it, asking to return on this basis would result in some vouchers...

I will keep redmi 3, cheaper and has far better specs than this phone.

You also get the horrible UI, long wait for delivery and no warranty.
Hope you bought it with a credit card.

If it states in the description that it has an SD card slot but the phone doesn't then just return it as not as the description

I've enabled wifi calling on my nexus 5x with ee but ever since if I'm not connected to wifi I can't ring anyone people can ring me but I can't ring anyone ducking nightmare anyone else

You not still got receipt? But it again and take new one back with the original receipt?

Hi
Don't buy instore pay the extra approx 4 quid and benefit from "The Consumer Contracts Regulations" formally distance selling regs, otherwise you cant take it back due to box being opened.
BUY ONLINE

Any idea how that relates to Fast Track if you pay online and collect in store?

Hi
I'm fairly certain if it's 'Click & Collect' the Distant Selling does not apply, so extra protection goes.
cheers

At around £130 it's still better than this tbh

Which one better Moto 4g or Samsung J5? Navegation very important for me.

I bought one today, but found the WiFi kept dropping (other devices in the same don't, including my Z3 Compact).

Very nice phone other than that. Fingerprint sensor was good, camera was good too.

Nice price, but with flaky WiFi I couldn't risk it.

I took it back with a screenshot of the Argos webpage stating it supports SD cards - no quibble refund given.

I have had the 32GB Nexus 5X for 6 months and I really like it, especially the camera and fingerprint reader. I currently have 14GB free, which means I'd be struggling all the time if I only had the 16GB version. Battery life isn't great, although the rapid charging is very good. I usually end up putting mine on charge for a bit in the early evening.

On the length of time these devices continue to get updates, I'd point out that my Nexus 7 (2013) got the Marshmallow update and is still getting monthly security updates ages after the guaranteed cut off date.

SOLD OUT!

i feel you brother. best smartphone i ever used. perfect size but battery and camera are useless. rocking a z3 now

Their not the only ones to state this

Storage
Expandable memory 128 GB
Memory card type MicroSD

Download Android n beta on it and is even better now u can enrol at https://www.google.com/android/beta for the instant beta download if it's not for u can unrole and go back to public version

'Rocking a Z3?.....what is this weird alien language?

It depends what sort of navigation you are doing but the Moto G4 doesn't have a compass. I don't think this thread is the best bet to be asking about Moto and Samsung products though

​c type isn't faster charging. It's just the connector type. Not all c type chargers will be fast

​terrible camera on the redmi

​ui can be replaced, delivery is 10 days from China, warranty is two years with aliexpress when you pay an extra £6

I picked mine up last night. Just a heads up but they verbally confirmed that I was OK with it not having an SD slot.

Battery life is awful. Fully charged it over night, used it for browsing and WhatsApp from 8am...10:30am and the battery is on 50%. Is that normal?

Nice that they flog an (expensive) SD card as an essential extra

Cancel and then get a redmi note 3 pro prime.

Amazing phone, would take this deal out today if I didn't just renew my contract!

16gb storage is ok for some but for the majority it's a joke. The Nexus range has really lost it's way in my opinion.

Give it a few days - the battery life percentages/predictions get better as it learns.

Just checked and Argos is out of stock locally AND for delivery - I wonder if that also means out of stock full stop? I got the 32GB from another vendor for my girlfriend. The stock android is great, and the fact that you'll get updates quicker than any other android is nice.

It is in stock in some shops. For example, I'm going to be in East London tomorrow and a few shops in that area have them.

moto g4 or this. performance and camera are main concerns

Moto g4 over this.But the P9 lite is better though.I had 5x changed three times so at the got the money back.Bought g4 excellent budget phone you can have for £120.

Just got mine today, thanks OP. Still in stock in Ilkeston, Netherfield Nottingham and Arnold Nottingham (I got mine from Ilkeston) if this helps anyone.

Happy with this deal. Got mine on Saturday. Had to go to Halifax as it was out of stock in Bradford. Bought two by mistake. I idn't double check at check out and didn't delete the first attemp (when out of stock). So now... what to do with the spare one? :smiley:
Thank you OP!

I have a nexus 5 32gb on the way is there any good reasons I should send it back and get the 5x instead?

​Just updates really the Nexus 5 won't get Android N and the 5X will and it most likely get Android O next year too.

ok thanks, I like that the camera is better on the X but don't like that it uses USB C i'll have to think about pros/cons.

Would be a stonking deal if it wasn't for that non-expandable 16gb.

Google just crippled it in a misguided attempt to push people onto cloud storage.

Does anyone have a screen shot showing it takes micro sd? Returning the phone for a refund today and just need it in case they don't refund due to wifi dropping off.

I moved from an iPhone 6 (64gb) to this. Pleasantly surprised how good this phone especially considering it's a 3rd of the price of the iPhone. Never used Android before this but haven't noticed a massive difference between this and ios, i actually prefer some aspects of android to ios.
Also I was a bit worried about the small 16GB capacity but i use google photos cloud storage anyway and Spotify for music so don't need a great deal of local storage.

Anyone know if I can return it had it just over a week keep getting the dreadful WiFi dropping and battery life is awful to be honest cheers

battery life is awful!

Anyone got a screen shot with the memory card description seems that they have changed it just in case quickly thanks

​How did u get on mate

Shattered the screen on my N6 playing Pokemon go last night. About to pick this thing up in London, £179 seems like a steal. Yes 16gb, yes only 2gb ram but with flagships like the 6p at around £400 min I'll take my chances, am paying Google for photo cloud storage anyway.

Used to love my old n5 so interesting to check this out and frankly the whale N6, lovely but errr, it I think we can all agree, it's just a bit on the large side.

Anyone recommend where I can get a few quality USB-c cables and accessories on the cheap?

Battery will last U 330 screen time if your lucky wouldn't bother mate

From the reviews, the G4 Plus has a fantastic camera and probably better than this. The G4 camera has decent reviews so probably on a par with this, maybe a tad worse.

so just an update. Got the N5X from Argos (brand new right I presume, all looks new). Put sim card in fired it up.

Go through the setup process, and about the second screen in.....a message on the screen that I can't get past.

"This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a google account that was previously synced on this device."


Have I read this right - this phone is locked right - to someone else's account?

Obv. it's going straight back!? Anyone seen this before, have I made some sort of error in the setup - don't think so!?

It's an anti theft security feature called Device Protection see here It must be a return. I'd get Argos to replace it.

Is it cheaper now.....£159.95?

Still 179.95 checked the link

​yes on cpw

battery is crap, wish i could return it!

not to ar-dross

going for a mate 8

Can someone please confirm whether this comes in a sealed box. I ordered from Carphone Warehouse and as it came in an unsealed box thinking of ordering from Argos instead.

mine did

​thanks.
