While it’s still too early to find any decent reductions on the Nexus 6 for Black Friday — it has only been on sale for a few weeks — you could get $50 in Google Play Store credit if you buy the device from Sprint. The promotion will run over the Thanksgiving weekend, starting Friday, November 28, according to a leaked Sprint document.
