Google’s new Nexus 5X is now $50 cheaper until the end of December, making it even more irresistible for pure Android fans during the holiday season.

Available at Amazon, Best Buy, and the Google Store, the $50 discount reduces the price of the 16GB Nexus 5X to just $329, and the 32GB Nexus 5X to just $379. It’s a pretty sizable reduction for a device that’s only been on the market for just over two months.

The Nexus 5X comes with Android 6.0 Marshmallow pre-installed, and it boasts a 5.2-inch 1080p display, a hexa-core Snapdragon 808 processor, 2GB of RAM, and a 12.3-megapixel rear-facing Sony camera with infrared autofocus.

It’s not the most exciting Nexus smartphone of 2015 — that title goes to the Nexus 6P — but there’s no doubt the Nexus 5X is a terrific smartphone. If you want pure Android on a budget, you’re not going to get much better than this for $329.
