Project Fi review: Google's phone service on a Nexus 5X, iPhone 6s Plus, and Windows phones [Update]
Almost a year ago, Google launched its own cellular service called Project Fi, running off of the backs of T-Mobile and Sprint's networks, along with Wi-Fi. Here is our review of Google's Project Fi.
Google has introduced new customizable cases for the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P called Live Cases. Other than showing a photo on the back, what makes it unique is that it can interact with the device.
For a limited time, Google is offering $50 off the Nexus 5X and the Nexus 6P in the Google Store. Unlike some previous sales, the deal does not require a Project Fi Activation.
Last week, Google surprised the world and released the Android N Developer Preview. The OS preview contains a number of new features. Here's our hands-on video showing off those new features.
Project Fi is now available to the public, so we're going to review the service. To do that, we had to grab a Nexus 5X. Here's our unboxing and first impressions of the Nexus 5X and Project Fi SIM.
Fixing sluggish, slow, and other performance issues are the target of a new OTA update for Google's Nexus 5X following community feedback. Owners can expect the update very soon.
Google has made a number of announcements regarding their Project Fi wireless service, including a heavily discounted Nexus 5X for users when they buy and activate through Project Fi.
While Google is selling the Nexus 5X priced from £299 SIM-free, a leading UK retailer is selling the device for as little as £249.99. Samsung's Galaxy S6 edge 128GB is also available with £200 off.
Google has again dropped the price of its Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X handsets. The promotional discount will coincide with Valentine's Day and be a limited time offer.
Google launched the Nexus 5X last year as one of its 'showcase' devices for Android 6.0, with prices starting at $379 - but it's now introduced a permanent $30 price cut on the LG-made handset.
