AT&T Next - Upgrade to a Nexus 6P/5X
My wife and I both currently have Galaxy Note 4's which as of this month are eligible for an upgrade on the Next 12 month plan. We both are heavily leaning toward one of the new Nexus phones (6P or 5X). If we go this route, are we able to trade in our current Note 4's to zero out the remaining balance once we manage to actually have the new Nexus phones in hand? We are at the 12 month mark but there is still about 8 payments left until the balance is zero, wondering if trading in the current phone will eliminate it.
If not then am I correct in stating the only way to get out of the AT&T Next, if we want to buy a phone seperately like the new Nexus, is to not only pay for the Nexus but we also have to pay off the entire remaining balance on our current phones?

The Nexus phones are not available through any carrier and so not Next upgrade eligible.
You will have to buy the phones at full price
You can sell your current device, pay off your Next balance. Whether or not you pay off the balance or continue paying monthly, makes no difference to ATT. If you are going to sell the Note 4 it might matter to the buyer if they want an unlocked phone.

you have to pay off your note 4's but you can pay them off like normal and still use the nexus 6p/5x.

Actually, check out Project Fi through Google. They offer the Nexus 6P for $30/month for 24 months.

Buy the phone from Google
https://store.google.com/product/nexus_6p
I paid $500 with tax for the base model 32 GBs is not even close to full. Amazon is also selling them now same price. The 5x was $50 off on lightning deal last week.
If you want an idea of size and build quality, look at the iPhone 6S plus. It's the same measurements and just as solid. I bought cases on Amazon for $10

Unless you use little to no data and are in a coverage area, Fi is not a good deal. My family would pay more for data than we do now.
