Google Nexus 6 prices slashed by $150 – making way for Nexus 5X and Huawei Nexus
The price of the Google Nexus 6 has dropped by $150. You can now get the 32GB variant on Amazon at $349 and the 64GB one at $399. The original price of $499 was quite a hefty one, though the smart phone is one of the best in the market. The price cut certainly means Google is planning to launch two new devices - the Nexus 5X made by South Korean electronics giant LG and the 5.7 inch phablet made by Chinese manufacturer Huawei.
The price slash of the Google Nexus 6 brings it on par with the OnePlus Two which retails at $329 and $389.
Besides being the best device you can buy, the Nexus 6 has one of the best combo of specs:

As of now, you need to buy the Nexus 6 from Amazon to get the discount. There is no surety that the discount will continue after the launch of Nexus 5X and Huawei Nexus.
Both the Nexus 5X and Huawei Nexus will have pre-loaded Android 6.0 Marshmallow hence there will be an update for the Android 6.0 for the Nexus 6 soon enough. What the Nexus 6 won't have is the Type-C USB ports, the fingerprint scanner and the newer and upgraded cameras that the newer phones will offer. But if you use the phone like a tablet, the Nexus 5X with a larger display of 6 inches is a better buy.
The point to note is that it is Amazon who is offering the discount. It is rumored that the Google Nexus 6 will also be available on the Google Play Store at a discounted price, the same with the Huawei Nexus 6 (2015), also called the 'Huawei Angler,' on Septermber 29. Android Authority had reported that the Google Nexus 5X that will be launched on September 29 would be available immediately for $399 for the 16 GB model and $449 for the 32 GB variant. The reason for the discounted prices might be to clear the inventory before the new models come in.
