Deal: Google slashes Nexus 5X prices

Starting today, the Google Nexus 5X is $30 cheaper if you're buying it from Google Store (at least in the US), and it looks like this is a permanent price cut - unlike those deals during Black Friday, or the holiday season. The Nexus 5X 16 GB can now be bought for $349, while the 32 GB model costs $399 (down from $379 and $429, respectively).

Manufactured by LG, the Nexus 5X is the spiritual successor to the Nexus 5 from 2013 (also made by LG). It's not exactly a high-end device, but it offers attractive features, including a fast and accurate fingerprint scanner, a great 12.3 MP rear camera with laser auto focus and 4K video recording, and stock Android Marshmallow.

Meanwhile, the larger and more powerful Huawei-made Nexus 6P is still sold at prices starting at $499 (just like in the first day of availability). However, if you want a large Nexus smartphone for less money, you should know that the Motorola-made Nexus 6 can now be purchased for as low as $249.99 via Amazon.
