The holidays are a great time to be a Google employee, and 2015 is just as merry as years past. According to a post on reddit, Google is gifting employees with a Nexus 5X in any color they please for the holidays. If they choose to to forgo one of Google’s latest Nexus offerings, they can choose to donate the money to charity instead.
The Nexus 5X employees are being gifted with are identical to the retail version. Last year, the Mountain View tech giant gave its hard-working employees Android Wear smartwatches. In 2013, employees chose from a Nexus 5 and Nexus 7.Â
If you are looking to pick a Nexus 5X for yourself, Google giving them out to employees is great news for your wallet. Prices of the phone on sites like eBay and Swappa will most likely fall as a result of the free phones, and more of them will end up being sold on websites like these, leading to a drop in the average sold price – at least in theory.
