Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Now Available at T-Mobile Retailers
The Nexus 5 smartphone and the LTE version of the Nexus 7 (2013) tablet are now available at T-Mobile retailers.
The carrier is selling the Nexus 5 for $449.99 at its brick and mortar stores which is $100 more than what the Google Play store charges. T-Mobile is also offering the handset on its uncarrier pricing scheme for $41.99 up front followed by 24 monthly payments of $17 each.
The stores only have the 16GB model at this time so those customers looking for the 32GB version could easily find it in Google Play. The Nexus 5 will take a few weeks to ship for those purchasing it through T-Mobile due to supply shortages.
The LTE Nexus 7 (2013) sells for $384. It can also be purchased for $0 up front followed by 24 monthly payments of $16 each. The Nexus 7 tablet is currently in stock and will ship in 1-2 business days from the Play Store.
