Nexus 5X now available through Amazon and B&H

Both retailers carry the three different color variants – mint, black, white – and have 16 and 32GB storage variants priced at $379 and $429 respectively, with free shipping options included. B&H does offer a small freebie however, with the inclusion of a free tempered glass screen protector that is said to be valued at $20.

For those that haven’t already bitten the bullet, you may be wondering if the Nexus 5X is buying? We recommend checking out our full Nexus 5X review to help you better answer that question. We can tell you that, while the Nexus 5X is certainly an impressive handset, the Android market is more competitive than ever right now. For those looking to spend under $400, there are tons of good options, many of which have at least somewhat better specs as well. That said, if you have your heart set on a Nexus and want something a bit smaller screened than the Nexus 6P or the older (but now much cheaper) Nexus 6, you really can’t go wrong here.

As a refresher, the Nexus 5X is powered by a Snapdragon 808 with 2GB RAM. Other specs include a 5.2-inch 1080p display, 16/32 GB of internal storage, a 12.3 MP rear camera, a 5 MP front shooter and a 2700 mAh battery. On the software end you’ll find Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box.

What do you think, anyone planning on picking up the Nexus 5X? For those that already own one, would you recommend it to others?
