A question about : Ј200 Google Phone voucher

Hi All,

I have won a complimentary Ј200 voucher that can be used towards purchasing a Google phone, what do people recommend? I require a new phone and this has came at exactly the right time.

Thanks

Best answers:

  • Well the only 2 phones in the Play store at the moment are the Nexus 5 and 6, so you won't be suffering from choice paralysis
  • https://play.google.com/store/devices?hl=en_GB
    You don't need to login to see the prices, do you?
  • Too expensive unfortunately.
  • Is it a google play voucher?
  • the Nexus 5 is Ј299, but out of stock
  • The 32Gb version is in stock.
    It's a good phone, but not worth the amount they're charging for it,
  • What shops can you use it in? Or is it just for Google's online store?
    Does a Motorola count as a Google phone? After all they were owned by Google when the X or G were made. Does any android count as a google phone?
    I'm trying to determine where you can spend your voucher and therefore what phones are options.
  • ok so you have just the two options
    Nexus 5 - 16gb (Ј299) 32gb (Ј339) both out of stock
    Nexus 6 - 32gb (Ј499) 64gb (Ј549) 32gb in stock
    Or otherwise you could use it on a tablet/laptop
    Nexus 9 - 16gb (Ј319) or 32gb (Ј399)
    chromebook laptop for Ј199
    If you need to spend it on a phone then you will need to add at least Ј100 for a nexus 5 - and that is if they ever get them back in stock.
  • Thanks, I have a friend interested in buying the voucher off me. Are there better/cheaper phones out there than Google? I'm currently on a Nexus 4 but I'm looking to upgrade a little.
  • https://giffgaff.com/motorola/phones Nexus 6 32GB Ј479 or from Ј12.79 ( depending on upfront fee) for unlocked (simfree) phone
  • Unless the friend is willing to buy the voucher for more than Ј180, what's the point in selling it and then buying Nexus 6 for Ј479 from Giffgaff instead of Ј499 from Google?
    I think the question was about other phones besides Google phones.
  • The Moto G 4g (Ј99 from tesco) is very popular. (its easy to unlock for only a couple of quid from ebay)
    Or you can get the sim free version for Ј125 -Ј150 from various shops i.e. argos/amazon/tesco etc.
  • Moto G, even 2015 one, hardly can be considered as an 'upgrade' from Nexus 4: https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3...&idPhone2=6991
  • ahh I missed the Nexus 4 post.
    Sell the voucher and keep the cash unless the nexus 4 battery is driving you nuts - Because for a worthwhile upgrade you will need to spend a fair bit more cash.
  • Nexus 5
    Ј310 sim free https://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...er/2786315.htm
    Ј270 sim free
