Google Nexus 5X now in stock at Amazon and B&H Photo Video (US)

Initially available in the US only via Google Store, the Nexus 5X can now also be purchased from Amazon and B&H Photo Video. Both retailers are selling the smartphone at the same prices as Google: $379 for the 16 GB version (which we don't really recommend), and $429 for the 32 GB one. Moreover, they're offering all three color variants: black, white, and mint.

As you may already know, the Nexus 5X is manufactured by LG, and is the successor to the Nexus 5 from 2013. Just like Google's other new Nexus (the more expensive Huawei-made 6P), the 5X is unlocked, and works on all US carriers - both GSM, and CDMA.

Slightly thinner and larger than its predecessor, the Nexus 5X sports a 5.2-inch 1080p display, and is powered by a six-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor. The new handset has a fast and accurate fingerprint sensor on the back, just below the 12.3 MP camera with laser auto focus and 4K video recording. Other features include a 5 MP front-facing camera, 2 GB of RAM, USB Type-C port, and a 2700 mAh battery.

The Google Nexus 5X runs stock Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and will be among the first devices to receive future Android updates (at least for the next couple of years). For more details about the smartphone, check out our Nexus 5X review.
