The final push continues for Google to clear out the remaining stocks of Nexus 5X and Nexus as killer deals on the devices bring the asking price to as low as $199 with the bonus of uninterrupted connectivity thanks to Project Fi. So all the more the rumors persist that the Nexus 2016 release date is near.
Android Central reported that Google's hard-to-resist LG Nexus 5X over at the Play Store is still ongoing. Buyers need only to pay up $199 and the package will ship out bundled with Project Fi, which is Google's commitment to keep users connected at all times.
Google's juicy Project Fi deal will mean savings of $180 as the 5X starts at $379 and from which Android fans will get to enjoy a handset with a 5.2-inch display, the tandem of hexa-core Snapdragon 808 chip with 2GB RAM and 16GB of internal memory. A 32GB edition is also available.
The Nexus 5X snapper is of flagship class as the rear camera comes with 12-megapixel sensor while the front cam is selfie optimized with 5-megepixel sensor.
Yet the top and constant reason the Nexus 5X is a must buy is the Android in it, which is Marshmallow and will certainly jump to Android N quick once it comes out. Pure Android means bloatware free or getting the glorious Android experience that Google designed its mobile OS to be.
But if Project Fi with the 5X is out of reach (as the case for Android fans outside of the United States) then the device in unlocked state and with 32GB of storage capacity is the next best pick, which according to Tech Connect can be snagged from Amazon with considerable price off. From the original tag of $430, the giant online retailer now sells the device for only $350. A 16GB option is also on the table, selling for only $284.
Free shipping is part of the deal and the maximum waiting time is two business days.
For Nexus fans wanting to get the best bang for the buck, the original Nexus 5, also made by LG, is on sale at dirt-cheap price of $140. Shoppers must note though that all models available are refurbished, Android Central said.
And with the old and current Nexus phones hitting the discount mark, Android fans are looking at the strong possibility of the Nexus 2016 release date happening real soon, perhaps in the immediate weeks ahead. Not impossible as Google is staging its 2016 I/O on May 18 and the event will surely reveal the final cut of Android N and the first device it will power, which no doubt is a Nexus.
