Latest Nexus 5 sale cuts starting price to $129.99

Remember last month when the Nexus 5 was on sale for $175? Well fast-forward to today and you can snag one for even less.

Expansys-USA is selling the Nexus 5 at a starting price of $129.99. At that price, you can get a 16GB factory refurbished N5 in black, white, or red. If you’d like more internal storage, $149.99 will get you a refurbished 32GB model in your choice of black, white, or red.

While the Nexus 5 may be a couple of years old at this point, it was a high-end device when it launched, and so it’s actually a mid-range handset in late 2015. As a refresher, it’s got a 5-inch 1920×1080 display, quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, 8-megapixel camera, and 2300mAh battery. It’s also running Android 6.0, making this sale a cheap way to get a Marshmallow device.
