Google has permanently slashed $30 off its new Nexus 5X, reducing its starting price to just $349 only four months after the handset made its official debut. The move makes it even easier for Android fans to get their hands on Google’s latest OS — without third-party tweaks.

Fresh leaks suggest Samsung will launch this year’s Galaxy S7 edge+ alongside the smaller Galaxy S7 and S7 edge. If all three devices go on sale in March as expected, then last year’s Galaxy S6 edge+ will be outdated just 7 months after making its debut.

Apple’s latest iPhones are proof that mobile devices don’t need octa-core processors and bags of RAM when they have the right software. Despite lagging behind their rivals on paper, iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus were the most powerful smartphones of 2015 — by a mile!
