Google Nexus 5 Deal: Price Drops on eBay

Google Nexus 5 Deal: Price Drops on eBay

With Google expected to be releasing the Nexus 6 (Nexus X) at some point in October, many consumers are looking to find some great deals on the Nexus 5. Just as with any smartphone, many carriers and retail stores want to get rid of stock to make room, and offer the older device at steep discounts. Last year, Google themselves began offering the Nexus 4 at a 25% lower price tag 3 months ahead of the Nexus 5 release. So what can we expect to see of the Nexus 5’s price, and how soon?

Google Nexus 5 deal on eBay

Although Google is still listing the Nexus 5 for $349 from the Google Play Store, and most carriers and retail stores are keeping their price as well, a refurbished phone seller from eBay seemed to have been trying to get rid of their stock recently. They were selling unlocked Nexus 5s for $314 and quickly sold out after reaching 2,000 orders. This is just a refurbished device seller, so it could mean absolutely nothing, but could also give a bit of insight into what Google might lower the price to.

We might not see the Nexus 5 dip down in price until the new Nexus 6 is unveiled in October, or we might see it discounted next week. There’s no for-sure date, but it will be useful to keep checking the Play store, your carrier, and retail stores to see if there’s a sale going on, or a permanent price drop.

The Nexus 6, or Nexus X, is rumored to sport a 5.2in 1440 x 2560 resolution display with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805, 3GB of RAM, a 13MP rear camera, and 2.1MP front camera. These are all hefty upgrades from the current Nexus 5 which sports a 4.95in 1080 x 1920 resolution display running at 445 pixels per inch, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, 2GB of RAM, and an 8MP rear camera. We may be seeing the new Nexus 6 running on Google’s newest addition to Android, the Android L, out of the box.
