In addition, Google has revealed a $50 discount for the matte gold variant of the Nexus 6P. The discount does not stop there, because those who purchase the 6P can avail of another $50 discount if they buy a Huawei Watch.
For Nexus fans in Europe, Google also has extended the promo there, and the discounts are even steeper. For a limited time, customers will be able to enjoy an €80 ($87) discount for the Nexus 5X. The original price of €429 ($467) has been reduced to €349 ($380), the report details.
The price cut for the Nexus 5X seems to be uniform across all European countries. But while the U.S. and European Nexus fans are rejoicing over the price slash, the United Kingdom appears to have been left out from the Valentine's Day discount as there is no announcement about price cuts there, the report relays.
In the United Kingdom, the starting price of the Nexus 5X is at £299 ($426). The Nexus 6P's price, on the other hand, starts at £449 ($640).
Google's Valentine's Day promo for the Nexus 5X and the Nexus 6P is valid from Jan. 26 up to Feb. 14 only.
