Deal: 32GB Google Nexus 5X priced at just $275 on eBay

While the  Google Nexus 5X  has failed to live up to the expectations set by the original Google Nexus 5, at least the handset has often made its way into discounts and special promotions which have made the handset much more attractive. This is once again the case today, as potential customers can get an unlocked and brand-new Google Nexus 5X with 32GB of integrated storage space for just $275 on eBay.  Compared to current-generation flagship smartphones such as the  Samsung Galaxy S7 , the  HTC 10 , or the LG G5 , the Google Nexus 5X is far from being a hardware specifications monster. The raw specs include a 5.2-inch LCD IPS display running at 1080 by 1920 pixels, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 chipset paired with 2GB of RAM, a 12.3MP primary sensor with extra-large pixels on the back, and a 5MP selfie sensor on the front.  If you're an Android purist but you don't have enough cash on hand to get the Google Nexus 6P, or if you dislike the phablet form factor, t

For this year, however, the same team that brought us the Aim is bringing to market the Skulpt Chisel. One quick look at the Chisel, it’s instantly recognizable that it’s a display-less version of last year’s model. It’s just one slab that reminds us of a solid bar of soap, contoured on both sides, so that its underside is better able to establish contact on our skin. Essentially, the Chisel, much li

LG G5 Review

Introduction What makes a great flagship smartphone? You'd think that in a multi-billion industry, the answer would vary wildly, and for a good reason—it's a gigantic market serving the needs of hundreds of millions of people annually. But it doesn't, at least not lately.  Does that mean that we're getting high-ends that are barely any better than their predecessors stuffed down our throat? No, that's probably unfair. But it's been a while since we've had one of those few and far between, but highly prized, moments where our collective jaw drops, and we just  know . We  know  that  this  is something special, new, and exciting. Something we really want to get behind.  With the G5, LG is undeniably shooting for just that. It wants to excite. It wants to entertain. It wants to change things up. And it wants to be unique. And there's a two-pronged approach to that: the G5 features a modular design, meaning you can exchange 'module
