Re: Nexus 6p availability in lebanon

I think it's still too early to be looking for it right now.

Stars Communications will probably get it soon. However, they currently don't seem to sell any Huawei devices. They also don't sell any Motorola devices but last year they got the Nexus 6. So hopefully they'll get the 6P. If I remember correctly, they got the Nexus 6 at a very good price but it took a couple of months to be available.

By the way, I want one too. In case you find it anywhere please post your results here. I'll also do the same if I see it anywhere.

CTC is the official carrier of Huawei in Lebanon, so hopefully it should drop soon in 32, 64 and 128GB variants. And yes, you can expect the price to be ridiculous.

it might be faster/more cost efficient to order it from handtek or clove and have it shipped to lebanon/ a friend and let him bring it home :)

Apparently Nexus 6P back glass is cracking randomly. Wait for more details on this issue!

Re: Nexus 6p availability in lebanon

It also seems to be prone to accidental bending like the iPhone 6 Plus. I was excited by the idea of a high-end Nexus, but I already went through this with the 6 Plus. I managed to keep it from bending for about 6 months until I removed it from a hard shell cover once and had to pull a bit hard. Bent the damned thing and had to sell it cheap. I'm passing.

Re: Nexus 6p availability in lebanon

I don't think it was a fake device. He posted another video where he opens a new Nexus 6P box and he still managed to easily bend it as the first one. It seems like he's putting a lot of pressure at the exact weakest point of the device. He's also pinching the ends of the phone with his fingers. This isn't a realistic scenario. The only concern for consumers should be if the phone bends in regular use cases like being placed in a skinny jeans front pocket. So far I haven't seen reports of it bending in pockets.

If you check forums and the 6P subreddit you'll also find some other issues. Some people are reporting issues with the screens (white balance), speakers (uneven balance), bottom glass panel unaligned, top glass panel randomly cracking. Hopefully these are just few occurrences. It's hard to tell how prevalent they are because people who encounter issues will always be the vocal minority.

Re: Nexus 6p availability in lebanon

Does anyone know where the 6p is available in Lebanon? I searched many places in the past week, most of them don't have it and the rest has only the 32GB model. Some places I asked are: Class and Stars Communication in City Center; I also asked many small shops on the road.

If you have any idea where I can find this phone please share it, preferably in the Metn / Keserwan area.

Unfortunately it is overpriced everywhere!
A 32gb cost 450$ in the USA and 560$ in here!

Actually it's very weird since it's the only device that is more expensive than the USA/rest of the world! Any other phone is cheaper in here!

He's a guy called Mohamad that deliver the phone to your doorstep without any additional fees!
I have already bought like 3 devices for me and my friends without any issues! All original and factory sealed!
Regarding warranty it depends on devices! Samsung has warranty coz it has an official dealer in here!
I doubt the nexus has any warranty!
Call the guy, he's nice!

Re: Nexus 6p availability in lebanon

Don't buy the Nexus 6P now. It's a good device but it's a little old and will soon have its successor released. Unless you can get it at a great price, I'd pass.
