Amazon deals: Nexus 6 for just $200, Galaxy S6 just $400!


Screenshot_2

Here we go, folks. Black Friday is finally here, and if you had the patience to stay up late, Amazon is rewarding you with some sweet deals on smartphones and more.

The hottest deal of the day that just went live on Amazon is for the Google Nexus 6. Last year’s Nexus smartphone is still a great option for anyone looking to stay up to date with the Android ecosystem. Featuring an expansive Quad HD AMOLED screen, a powerful processor, and premium build quality, the Nexus 6 is a great device, especially now that you can get it for a fraction of the price of its successor, the Nexus 6P.

Amazon is discounting all versions of the Nexus 6 by a healthy margin. Here’s the breakdown:

Update: The Nexus 5X is also discounted by $80 on Amazon today.

If you’re looking for something smaller, or perhaps just flashier, Amazon also has the excellent Samsung Galaxy S6 (32GB) down to just $400. This is the US version of Samsung’s flagship, normally selling for $599 on Amazon, so you’re looking at a 33% discount. Not bad at all, for a device that delivers a beautiful display, the best processor of 2015 and a fantastic camera into a sleek design.

These are both “deals of the day,” but with so many people out prowling for a bargain, there’s no telling for how long stocks will last. Better hurry.

In other deals, Amazon is also discounting the well reviewed UE BOOM Wireless Bluetooth Speaker in all colors down to $99.99. This 360 degree wireless speaker has a great 4.6 stars score across thousands of reviews. It features a solid build and water and stain resistance, and drops a rich bass and a high volume.

Looking for a good Bluetooth keyboard for your smartphone or tablet? Amazon has the Blue Logitech Bluetooth Multi-Device Keyboard K480 down to $24.99, half its list price, and better than any deal before. 4.3 stars across 570 reviews. Check it out!

Need a little more brain power? Acer’s got your back, with its C720 11.6-inch Chromebook going for just $229.99. You get an Intel i3 processor, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of SSD storage space, and Intel HD Graphics 4400, with a battery life of 8.5 hours. That may not sound like much, but Google’s Chrome OS runs smoothly on this hardware, making it perfect as a second laptop.

Happy shopping!

Motorola UK begins its Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, offers savings up to 50% on popular devices


motorola_moto_x_play_top_sim_card_aux_TA

After revealing some not-so-impressive deals in the US, Motorola UK has begun its Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale, bringing some sweet deals on many popular devices. Motorola says UK residents can save up to 50% on new smartphones.

One of the more major deals Motorola UK is running this holiday season is some fairly hefty discounts on the Moto X Play and last year’s Nexus 6, which is still a nice handset. Those interested will be able to get the Moto X Play in 16GB or 32GB variations for £219 and £259, respectively. That’s savings of £60 on either device.

For those that are more interested in fast updates and the slickest interface available with Android, the Nexus 6 is available in 32GB and 64GB variants for £250 and £310, respectively. That’s savings of £229 on either device. It’s definitely a steal, and is the perfect gift to throw under the Christmas tree for a loved one this year.

Motorola UK is running deals on plenty of other devices, so be sure to hit the source link below to get the full scoop on all of the crazy deals. Motorola UK says they’ll be running these until 11:59pm (GMT) on November 30.

NewEgg Black Friday deals: Nexus 6 for $288, S6 Edge for $549, ZTE Axon $200


nexus 6 first impressions (16 of 21)

Black Friday is almost here, and while we’ve already rounded up some of the best deals on offer for the infamous shopping day, there’s plenty more surfacing each day leading up to Friday. Some of the best deals to hit this week come from NewEgg. The popular tech retailer is selling a number of unlocked smartphones at extremely aggressive price points, including the Nexus 6, Galaxy S6 Edge, and ZTE Axon.

Starting with the Nexus 6, NewEgg is offering the 32GB white version of the handset for just $288.99, one of the lowest prices we’ve seen for the handset. While the Nexus 6 is a year old and has been usurped by the 6p, it’s still a heck of a phone, especially at sub-$300 pricing. As a recap, the Nexus 6 comes with a big 5.96-inch AMOLED display, a 2.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB of RAM and a 13MP rear-facing camera. It also already has an upgrade ready for the latest version of Android, 6.0 Marshmallow, and will be among the first devices to receive software updates from Google for a few more years.

For more details on the Nexus 6 specs and performance, you’ll want to check out our full review.

Get it from NewEgg

Galaxy-S6-Edge+-Gold-Hands-On-AA-(11-of-20)

Next on the list, the Galaxy S6 Edge G925i is going for just $549, with your choice of color: white, black, gold, or green. Considering the GS6 Edge is valued at around $700, this is a great price, and the cheapest we’ve seen to date.

As a recap, the Galaxy S6 Edge packs a 5.1-inch QHD (2560×1440) Super AMOLED display, an Exynos 7420 processor, 3 GB of RAM, an industry-leading 16 MP camera, a 5 MP front shooter and a 2600 mAh battery. For more details on the Galaxy S6 Edge, be sure to check out our full review on it as well.

Get it from NewEgg

ZTE Axon Phone-11

Lastly, is the ZTE Axon. At first glance, this deal sounds amazing, as you can get the phone for $200 after inputting promo code “EMCKKNR25” at checkout. Unfortunately, this isn’t the ZTE Axon as those in the US states know it. When the ZTE Axon first arrived, it came with a Snapdragon 810 in tow, but this particular model trades out that chip for a Snapdragon 800.

While it’s not nearly as great, that’s still a pretty good price for what equates to a solid entry-level device. Processor aside, the rest of the specs include a 5.5-inch 1080p display, 2GB RAM, 32GB storage, a 13MP rear cam, 8MP front cam, a 3000 mAh battery, and Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box.

Get it on NewEgg

T-Mobile’s Nexus 6 soon to receive Android 6.0 Marshmallow


nexus-6-first-impressions-19-of-21

T-Mobile’s devices may not be the first to receive updates (nor are they the last), but at the very least they are good at keeping the process transparent to users. The Un-carrier has a website you can check to see how far into the updating procedure your specific device is. That is, if your phone is getting it.

Of course, Nexus users are among the first in the list, and today we are getting good news for owners of the Nexus 6. This super-sized smartphone will be getting the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update “soon”. The OTA upgrade has been approved, so it’s only a matter of a very short time before we start seeing some update notifications popping up.

Please do let us know if you happen to see the update hitting your own smartphone We can’t say how long it will take, but it’s usually a short wait after a software update is approved. Regardless, we are glad to finally see the Marshmallow update coming to the Google phone. We were supposed to see it last October, but the discovery of a major bug delayed the process.

Enjoy Android 6.0 Marshmallow!

Nexus 6 eBay deal

Are you in need of a really good Android phone and don’t have a ton of money to spend? If so, there’s a deal on eBay that may be worth your while. Right now you can pick up an unlocked 32GB Nexus 6 (XT1103) in Midnight Blue for just $289.99 from eBay. We’ve seen the Nexus 6 go for this price point in the past, so if you didn’t have time to take advantage of that deal, now’s your chance.

Keep in mind that this is a brand new Nexus 6 for less than $300, which is less than half the price the Motorola-made smartphone was originally sold for at launch. This deal also comes with free shipping to anywhere in the United States. And since this is the XT1103 variant, that means you’ll be able to activate it on any U.S. mobile carrier you’d like. Even Verizon!

The Nexus 6 might not be the newest device on the market, but it’s still one hell of a smartphone. It comes with a big 5.96-inch AMOLED display, a 2.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB of RAM and a 13MP rear-facing camera. It also runs the latest version of Android, 6.0 Marshmallow, and will be among the first devices to receive software updates from Google for a few more years.

Some might say this device isn’t worth the trouble since the Nexus 6P is now available for purchase for $200 more. While the two are different in many aspects, we’d wager to say that day to day performance won’t differ too much. So if you’re interested in taking advantage of the deal, be sure to head to the eBay link below.

Deal: Pick up an unlocked 32GB Nexus 6 for just $290 from eBay


Nexus 6 eBay deal 280

Google’s new Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X smartphones may have just made their way to market, but that doesn’t make last year’s Nexus 6 a bad phone in the slightest. And especially now that we’ve seen the Motorola-made device drop below $300 from numerous retailers, it might be a viable option if you’re looking for an inexpensive Android phone with no contract.

Yet again the device is available for a hefty discount, this time from eBay seller blinq. The seller is offering the unlocked 32GB Nexus 6 (XT1103) in Midnight Blue for only $289.99 with free shipping to the United States. This isn’t the cheapest we’ve ever seen the device, but it’s still a pretty sizable discount.

As a refresher, the Nexus 6 comes with a big 5.96-inch Quad HD AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB of RAM, a 13MP rear-facing camera and a 2MP front camera. It also runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow and sports a big 3220mAh battery.

Seeing as how the Nexus 6P is being sold from the Google Store for a little over $200 more, is the Nexus 6 worth it at this point? The 6P is a pretty decent upgrade over the Nexus 6 in terms of specs and build quality, but we’d wager to say that day to day performance probably won’t differ too much. If you’re interested, be sure to head to the eBay link below.
