If whatever reasons, users in the US decide to purchase the Google Nexus 5 through T-Mobile instead of the Play store, they will be required to pay up $100 more than its official cost. Nevertheless, the advantage is that they are not required to fork out the entire amount in one go, they can give equal monthly installments if they choose the un-carrier.
The Google Nexus 5 smartphone’s 16GB version costs $349 through the official website and when you buy it through T-Mobile, the service provider asks for an upfront amount of $41.99. Then over a period of two years, you will have to hand in 24 equal monthly installments of $17 each. Interested customers can grab it from November 14 onwards online and it will be hitting select stores on November 20. But you may want to look out for Black Friday deals before laying your hands on the phone.
Here’s a brief description of the phone for users who are considering it. The device operates with the assistance of the Android KitKat 4.4 OS and displays its intuitive interface via a 4.95-inch full HD touchscreen. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor with four cores, each of which is capable of clocking in a speed of 2.28GHz, hides under the hood. There’s 2GB of RAM as well and the gadget sports a 1.3MP webcam and an 8MP camera with OIS. It draws power from a 2300mAh battery for a long usage life.
The Google Nexus 5 is also slated to arrive in India very soon. Its 16GB and 32GB variants are priced at Rs 29,000 and Rs 33,000, respectively.
