Google Nexus 5X gets US$50 holiday discount on Google Store and major online retailers

The official Google Store and major online retailers like Amazon, Best Buy and B&H are again selling the Google Nexus 5X at a discount. Customers can now save US$50 on every purchase of the device.

Google hasn’t mentioned any specific end date for the new sale. The official Google Store mentions that all purchases made between Dec. 8 and Dec. 25 can be returned through Jan. 22, 2016.

B&H is selling the unlocked 16 GB LG Nexus 5X at US$329 (US$50 off) along with a gift card worth US$20. The 16 GB model is available in Black (Carbon), Mint (Ice) and White (Quartz) colour options.

The unlocked 32 GB Nexus 5X comes with a price tag of US$379. The website confirms a prompt next day delivery for the handset.

Dec. 11 is the last date if you prefer to buy the phone from Amazon. The retailer is selling both the 16 GB and 32 GB models in Black, White and Mint colour options at a US$50 holiday discount.

Best Buy is also providing the same deal. But the website doesn’t mention any specific end of sale date.

The LG Nexus 5X is an overpriced device compared to its larger sibling, the Nexus 6P, according to a report in Tech Times. Despite having significantly beefier specs, the larger phablet costs only US$70 more than the Nexus 5X. Android Police speculates the discounted price of the Nexus 5X might become permanent.

The Nexus 5X was previously offered with a US$80 discount on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
