​You spent a hour of your life on the phone to them when you could have just Googled it ☺

I bought the 16gb one for my missus the other day and was toying with getting the 32gb one for myself. As the offer's now off that's the decision made for me. The new Nexus devices are just around the corner so I wouldn't be surprised if the 5x and 6p are both reduced soon

Nightmare...... the deal expired first thing this morning! Back up to £329 in the York store #ShouldHaveBoughtItYesterday

No branding, this is a sim free brand new phone supplied with a ee sim card. You can use any other sim card you like.

Absolutely nothing different, they all come off the same pile in the warehouse whether they are contract or payg and regardless of network. Price comes down to incentives CPW get from the networks, best is o2 payg upgrade at £130, SIM free one would have no extra discount hence the higher price.

Struggling to understand what the difference is between the more expensive SIM free one and this one. If they're both unlocked then this surely is the one to go for. Is this branded as EE in some way, boot screen for example?

What alternative in similar price bracket would you say are worth considering against the 32GB version?

It is brand new. What are you talking about? It's illegal to sell something as brand new when it's a return / used. These are brand new phones. Mine arrived and it's brand new. Looks and works beautifully

don't think i will take the risk if it's not guaranteed to be brand new :/ redmi 3 pro it is i guess!

Thanks just ordered one.

Mine wasn't sealed - as in no sticker anywhere and the bottom of the box was also a little grubby but the phone is brand new

Is this a big step up from the LG G2?

Thanks for the replies - I guess this is how they come. The phone looks new to me and I watched some unboxing videos that had the same plastic cover/ime sticker so I guess it's good to go!!

Just received mine, the box wasn't sealed but the phone looks new, shame no earphones included.

If you bought from Google they'd have a white 2x1 inch sticker on the bottom of the box that you'd need to cut to open.

There's no sign of that sticker ever having been on the one I received so wonder if this is how they provide them to resellers as they would often have a contract sim inserted when sent out and not wanting it to look like it's been opened.

Mine is a bit grubby too but put that down a poor choice of packaging on Google's part combined with the state of most warehouses where these have been kicking about for a few months judging by three monthly security updates needed.

Don't think there's anything to be concerned about, inside the box everything including the phone looks brand new.

Just got my nexus 5x from the hukd site and my box isn't sealed and looks a bit dirty on the front and I'm just wondering what kind of seal the box/phone should have.

There's a big wraparound piece of plastic on the phone that you can slide the phone in and out of and then on the back of the phone there is a little sticker that says the IME number. Are either of these what you call a seal?

Would it be possible to stick a working giffgaff sim in there for the o2 upgrade? anyone tried that?

this or the xiami redmi note 3 pro 32gb?

Had mine for 2 months. Plus it's from ebuyer so not worth the headache trying to get a replacement.

You can return within 14 days if not happy.

Wish I could send mine back. Poor battery and God awful WiFi performance. Need to have it set to 2.4, looks like the may security update has ruined 5.8 performance.

On my BT hub, 45mbps on 2.4, under 2mbps with dropouts on 5.8. done a WiFi scan and no interference at all and my laptop is spot on with 5.8.

Don't be surprised if it isn't, companies often check phones and the like so they don't get comedians claiming they didn't get the charger etc.

Just got dispatch email, fingers x hope it's sealed on arrival.

Thanks, it turned out there was payment issue. I had to redo the transaction so hoping for delivery tomorrow too!

I didn't get dispatch email or text, so rang them to be told that the credit card didn't match the address but it did, so they done a new order over the phone. Hopefully for delivery tomm.

Is this deal classed as an upgrade? I got an order acknowledgement yesterday but nothing further about delivery.

I just spoke to live chat now to ask when the phone would be coming and they say this is logged as an "upgrade". I've never used CW before. Just wondering if other people have received their phones and if there were any issues?

Thanks

It's common for them to break the seal, it probably says that in their T&C somewhere (many other resellers do this)

I've bought phones from Argos where the manufacturer seal is broken then a network branded seal is placed over it and the network sim is inside the box

sounds like they are pulling a fast one though

No it is unlocked,I think!Did not switch on the device and sim came sealed!100% sure the phone itself is a return or refurbed!Now going to return!

Just check the seal on box can not be broken in any cases if they sell new devices as described

Was it locked to EE?

Did they put the EE sim inside the box?

Guys,check the seals,it either should be one LG on the side which does not allow to open box or one big one on the back.IF you do not have one of these,you probably received one as I did either used,refurbed or return!

Will take it back to the Carphone warehouse and the manager will struugle to give me a nice deal!

Got the phone today!UNSEALED!Carphone warehouse,disaster.

Yeah , I was not aware about this and bought the phone trusting CWH.

Spent an hour to get this order cancelled... so I can get my money back

​You spent a hour of your life on the phone to them when you could have just Googled it ☺

It certainly would have been easier to check the spec on googles product page, its their phone after all.

https://www.google.com/nexus/5x/

10.6GB actually.
As is with every other device on the planet - the capacity is not the free space.
You don't buy a 500GB laptop then complain Windows is taking up some of the space...

With Nexus devices, however, at least there's more than Samsung's paltry offerings. Their 16GB devices have less than 8GB free for user content.

It will most likely be delivered by DPD, just refuse delivery and it will go back to them or if you like accept delivery, check it out and you can always take it in store to get a refund.

Going to cancel my order. Carphonewarehouse website is misleading customer mentioning this phone is expendable to 128 GB with micro sd card slot available in this phone. The fact is that there is no card slot available which one can verify on GSMArena website. I spoke to Carphonewarehouse customer care almost 1 hour and didn't get proper information and no one ready to take this responsibility and also no help provided to cancel my order. Frustrating..

Thats a shame u end up with 9gb

Ordered a white one. Hopefully it will be unlocked.

EE lock their Nexus phones.
This deal is ok as its from CPW and all are unlocked.

I don't use the Facebook app just through the browser
Then you lose me with techy stuff! I don't doing any rooting etc
Nougat sounds good... I'll no doubt have it in 12 months!

Exactly the route I took. Apart from the speaker being nowhere as loud as the One M8 - it's a great phone in all the other ways. Camera, speed, feel. You won't regret it. My One M8 feels so slow now in comparison.


It's all about the apps. Facebook, Messenger and Snapchat are all terrible at sucking away battery. Avoid those, and Android does it's thing with 'Doze' and will last great.

The Nexus 5 lacked a little in 'stock' guise, but unlock the bootloader and flash a custom kernel, and it transformed. Was great once tweaked.

The 5x is actually the first Android phone I've owned where I've actually re-locked the bootloader and kept it stock. Nougat is that good stock - it just works now. Doesn't need kernels, hacks, tweaks, etc.

Cheers! I know there is lots to consider I'm just surprised Googel continue to have below par battery life phones
I had a Nexus 4 which wasnt acceptable and friends with Nexus 5 also not really happy

My Moto G1 and Moto G2 however are very good - well were good but old now

Is this worth upgrading to over a HTC One M8 ???

This or the moto g 4 for £159.99 at John Lewis?

Not interested in NFC or fingerprint scanner.

yes i had the same concern...

Such a hard question to quantify and translate to your usage as it varies massively depending on your location, screen brightness and apps you run. I don't know why people are so fascinated on getting "x" hours SoT...

It'll get you through the day if you're a normal user.
If you're not - then you probably have a £10 battery pack already.

Yes, it won't last all week, or 2 days even. But I rarely have to use a charger before the end of the day.
Nav'ing in the car? Use a car charger.

There, it'll be fine :smiley:

I got an email confirmation, funny enough the number I used to upgrade was on o2 but I don't know where the sim is and ain't seen it for over 5 months.

do you get order confirmation on mobile sms too or just via email?

Thanks but I'd much prefer the black one.*


*That's what she said.

Well spotted, just upgraded for that price. Thanks

Ice blue also still in stock

Try a different colour, it is working for me in white

Whats the battery really like?

Screen time?

That sucks. Hopefully they get them back up soon.

This by quite some way. The Nexus 5x is very close to flagship phone quality.

yeah it looks like they're restocking right now. very irritating, i had it in my basket a while ago and was just looking into the O2 deal. when i tried to pay BAM - this started. bad timing.

Not letting me add it to basket

Which is better, this or the Motorola Moto G4 for the same price?

just bought nexus 6 for 150 used in immaculate condition or I would mayb have got the o2 deal.i have it running developer preview 4 on Android N and it runs like a dream getting five hours screen time which is good for nexus 6

LOL, £125 (if Quidco pay up) for a decent spec phone with full Google support likely for another couple of years...hot on any level!

And the openness of it. The bootloader comes already unlocked which means there's always tons of custom firmware and development going on outside of Google. Another major plus for Nexus phones. A big minus though is the lack of micro-SD card and usually always mediocre battery. My opinion :smile:

Great phone,great price. I would be buying this if i hadnt just bought an LG. Good find op, Heat

Good price. But.... I think it's only getting this heat as a nexus phone. The specs are pretty average for price and build quality is plastic....
Will there be an update after mm?
Also heard battery life is poor

Does it have sd slot

Thanks for that, saves me going digging out a old sim out.

From what i have read, all nexus phones come unlocked.

Anyone confirm this? Anyone tried a random o2 simcard to get the £129.99 price?

Phone isn't locked to any network, you won't need to unlock

How much and how easy would it be to unlock from o2 though

Upgrades on CPW are hardly to get....

It really is a great price - I would have posted myself except it's only available to O2 users. I have an old O2 sim card that has sadly expired otherwise that would be the deal I went for :-)

Yes ....and don't we know it ! :wink: It's all yours

You should post it as a deal :smiley: Great price !

ALSO AVAILABLE ON O2 PAYG UPGRADE FOR *** £129.99 *** in black, white, ice blue https://www.carphonewarehouse.com/lg/nexus-5x.html#!colour=iceblue&capacity=16GB&dealType=pgud&network=O2

repost

​Thanks was nearly sure that was the case just checking.

would this be locked to EE then?
