Remember last week, when we recommended nostalgic folks and cash-strapped Android purists they buy a pre-owned original Nexus 5 from Daily Steals in exchange for $140, fully convinced it doesn’t get better than this?It turns out we were off by a mile (or ten), as Woot now sells brand-new, immaculate 32GB N5 units at $150 a pop. It’s hard to believe, but nearly three years in, Google and its many retail partners still didn’t manage to clear all LG Nexus 5 inventory.We don’t reckon there are more than ...

DIY mod gives us the 64GB Nexus 5 we never had
For a smartphone dating all the way back to 2013, the Nexus 5 still holds a special place in the hearts of a good number of Android users, and while it’s clearly been surpassed by more powerful Nexus hardware, some recent hot deals on the phone have managed to keep it in our thoughts.

Living the dream: industrious Nexus 5 user adds functional microSD slot
How would you like to be able to easily expand the internal storage space of your Nexus device? Don’t answer that, because it’s really a no-brainer rhetorical question similar perhaps to asking if you’d enjoy spending a day with Harrison Ford in Han Solo character.Unlike one of Hollywood’s most reclusive grumps though, modifying at least a Google Nexus 5 phone to accommodate microSD cards is decidedly within reach… if you’ve got the spare time, right tools and set of skills.All you need to do, according to a Reddit member nicknamed Sockpockets, is carefully remove the ...
