Sa US lang yang $350, the rest of the world usually nasa 20K (in PHP) mark.

Just check Google Play Canada and UK.

Research research din pag may time.

@Mark
Ang yabang mo naman. Masama mag post ng comment?

Each one has his own opinion. Also, I dont need to buy one since I’m already using a Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

Im just saying a $350 USD product shouldnt cost 23k (prepaid, malamang locked pa sa Smart).

Ang point ng Google is to bring down the cost of the unit. Hindi dapat kasing taas ng price ng LG G2. Eh mayroon shops nag bebenta 21-23k na LG G2.

Hindi naging worth it ang Nexus 5 kung same price with LG G2 lang.

There has never been a “locked” Nexus Phone.
All of them are unlocked out of the box no matter what carrier.

AFAIK unlocked dapat yan kasi yan ang isang kondisyon ng Google, dapat hindi tied-up sa isang carrier ang mga Nexus devices…
