when I got mine I decided getting the old standar pixel model new as the current was being discounted because the new one was around the corner. The price to camera for that phone which was looked at as doubly old seemd the best. I was only looking at camera quality because honestly everything else does not need to be super awesome to me and anything with a decent camera is going to have relatively decent stats outside of that. Its a really hard thing to gauge though as how do you value each individual increment. That is another reason that I just went with camera and did what felt the best. I was not looking for the best camera but best bang for the buck while being a good stong choice.
