Well, if you thought the Nexus 6P was overpriced in Europe... you were right, but so is the 5X.

Nexus 5X 32Gb is £379 GBP, which is $573 USD at current rates. US buyers, however, are only charged $449 USD and they also get a $50 credit for some other products. Sounds like a rip off so I will not be going for the N5X!

    Motorola did the same. The Moto X Style jumps from £399 (USD) to £399 (UK). Welcome to rip off Britain.

          So it's only 50 euros more expensive than the US model if you don't count the 24% VAT. That's actually a pretty mild price hike when you compare it to the original Nexus 5's price tag which was over 500€ at launch while the US price was just $350.

            For some reason are this year prices high, and drop fast. Do they try customers?

                  Same of Moto X Style/Pure ($400 x €500), for example.
                  It's simple! People from Europe/UK don't buy these phones, wait till prices get down, or choose other options. But, as Apple, people will buy, no matter the price.

                        I could newer understand, how can CEO's-managers be so well paid for souch a lousy job they do. If they sell 10 5X models they'll do great.
                        Please Ubuntu and Firefox os make some noise to end this IOS-Google madness monopoly.

                            In the Nexus 5X page source we can see the price for the 32Gb version. € 529 of pure robbery. Thanks Google.

                            And for the 6P:
                            32Gb: 649,00 €
                            64Gb: 699,00 €
                            128Gb: 799,00 €

                              I think Europe is subsidizing the cheap US price

                                  This is why I like Alcatel Idol 3 or Asus Zenfone approaches. Or even Motorola. To pay 650 euro for 6P.. well, it might be an extraordinary different experience with it day by day but I do not think it is. Overpriced tech in my opinion.

                                    This is why no skilled professionals ever want to go to Europe anymore. It's the gutter economy. Pretty soon there will be taxes for the amount potty you put out. Europe is third world already.

                                      The specs isnt low at all, on really im excited about the Nexus 5x(would prefear with 5", but OK). But the price is, for sure, too much over the line.
