Pre-orders of the Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 edge have already shipped, and the smartphones are also available for immediate purchase now, but the LG G5 is still nowhere to be found. A step in the right direction will be made on March 18, in the US at least, when BestBuy will start accepting pre-orders.

In all fairness, the date and retailer have been known since day 1, but now a landing page has cropped up on BestBuy’s website confirming the initial announcement. That said, there’s still no official word on actual availability, but April 8 has been sort of confirmed for the UK and Canada, so the US should be getting it around that time, though rumors of an April 1 launch have been heard.

One thing’s for sure, however, the G5 will ship with an extra battery and a charging cradle, to better make use of that modular design. The rest of the G5’s friends you’ll have to buy separately, though.

If are currently on the market for a shiny new Nexus device then now’s definitely the time to strike. The Google Store is celebrating its first anniversary and is offering $50 off both the Nexus 5X and the Nexus 6P. This means that you can get the former for as little as $299 and the latter starts at $449.

The deal is also not limited to the US alone, as the Canadian store has the offer as well. The search giant is pretty generous in terms of time constraints, as the deal will be live all the way to March 27. It is also worth noting that the slashed price does not affect other current promotions for the devices. This means that purchasing a Nexus 6P will still get you $50 of credit towards a Huawei Watch.

And as an additional deal reminder, signing up to Project Fi can get you up to $150 off the Nexus 5X and over in India, the device also comes with a special price – about $60 down and now retailing for INR 27,900 ($415) for the 16GB model .
