When we recently reviewed the Google Nexus 5X we found it to be an amazing phone. But yet, we recommended it to buyers with one caveat: it wasn't the best value for money phone. The price was slightly higher than what we would have liked.

A few weeks after its launch, the phone, however, has been given a big price cut. Instead of selling for Rs 31,990, it is now available for around Rs 24,500. That is an astounding 20 per cent price cut. This is for the 16GB version. The price of 32GB version too has come down. Instead of selling for 35,990, the 32GB version of the Nexus 5X is now available for Rs 29,500.

The price cut makes the new Nexus an amazing deal. Even though it doesn't come with a USB C-to USB 2.0 cable and you may have to spend up to Rs 1,000 on this cable, after this price cut we have no hesitation in saying that the Nexus 5X is the best value for money Android phone you can get.

We strongly recommend you read our review to know more about the Nexus 5X but in case you are running short on time, here is why we recommend this phone:

Good performance: With the Snapdragon 808 and 2GB RAM inside the phone, the Nexus 5X is one fast device. It works beautifully with Android Marshmallow and shows no perceptible lag irrespective of what you are doing on the phone. Best bit about the Nexus 5X is that runs cool even when you are playing demanding games like Implosion on it.

The Nexus 5X also comes with a super-fast and very useful fingerprint scanner.

Brilliant camera: The Nexus 5X has one of the best cameras you can get in any phone. It is right up there with the iPhone 6S in terms of camera performance. Low light, good light, tricky scenes in evening... the Nexus 5X camera handles it all as well as any other will do.

Always up to date Android: Considering that it is the latest Android phone, the Nexus 5X will run the latest version of Android, at least for up to 2 years.

Good screen: We wouldn't call the screen in Nexus 5X brilliant. But that is compared to what you get with the iPhone 6S or the Galaxy S6. Among its peers, the Nexus 5X offers a very good screen.

Compact and light: Currently in the market that is full of big phablets, if you are looking for a phone that is easy to carry, is light and can be used with single hand, look no further than the Nexus 5X. Ergonomically and design wise, it is one of easiest phones to carry and use.

If you are thinking of buying the Nexus 5X, we believe both the versions -- 16GB and 32GB -- are good value for money. The 16Gb is obviously very aggressively priced right now. But we also believe that if you are willing to spend Rs 30,000 on your next phone go for the 32GB version. The extra storage that you will get is worth it, especially considering the fact that the phone doesn't support microSD card.
