Black Friday: The Nexus 5x receives a hearty $80 discount on Black Friday

Google's latest Nexus smartphones are its best yet, and today only, you can nab the mid-range Nexus 5X for the cheapest price we've seen it go for.

If storage capacity is a main concern of yours when shopping for a smartphone, then you'll be happy to know that you can nab the 32GB version of the Nexus 5X in each color available (black, mint, white) for $80 off its original asking price of $429, now $349 at Best Buy.

We loved the phone for its slick design and already affordable asking price. Some big takeaways from the Nexus 5X are its camera, which captures some of the best photos we've seen in a Nexus phone yet. The phone also utilizes USB-C, the reversible cable type that is beginning to surge in popularity in mainstream devices like the new MacBook.

Instagram starts learning to play nicely with multiple accounts

How many social media accounts do you juggle? Besides your own stuff, do you also manage a separate account for work? Maybe you post for your improv troupe or local sports team. But whatever the reason, there are plenty of us out there who wear more than one identity when accessing social sites. When we’re doing so on our phones, just how easy they’re going to make working with multiple accounts is going to vary widely between services. Skimp on such features, and you risk driving users to third-party apps. Luckily, Instagram has received the message that users want the option ...
