With Black Friday coming to an end and holiday shopping in full swing, buyers are probably looking for great last-minute deals on smartphones and tablets. There are two today. The Nexus 7 has dropped to a crazy low of just $99 with a case and free shipping, and Google’s flagship Nexus 5X smartphone is also seeing big savings for a limited time.
Many smartphones and tablets are on sale for Black Friday, including Google’s Nexus 7 in 2013 and even the brand new Nexus 5X, which was announced in September and launched at the end of October. However, both deals still exist and one is lower than ever. These are two Android deals shoppers won’t want to miss.
There are countless inexpensive Android tablets out there, like Walmart’s $90 RCA and other cheap smartphones, but none offer as high-end or the latest version of Android as Google’s own Nexus smartphones and tablets. That’s why Google’s Nexus devices always make must-buy or best smartphone lists, and two of them are at an all-time low for the holidays.
If you’re still looking for a lot on some of the best Android smartphones or tablets, these two top the list and are worth considering.
Nexus 7 for $99
The first is the second tablet Google has ever released, namely the 2nd Nexus 7 in 2013. While this may sound like an old, outdated tablet, it was the best Android tablet released in 2013. Since then tablets have gotten much better and instead worse in an effort to offer buyers the lowest price.
