Anonymous Tip Puts Nexus 5 at $299

Here’s something you don’t see often. The Nexus 5, like most successors, looks to be an improvement over LG’s Nexus 4. However, unlike most successors, the Nexus 5 may be debuting at a cheaper price than the Nexus 4 did.

Unverified as it may be, an anonymous tipster told Phone Arena that the 16GB Nexus 5 will sell for $299, when the 16GB Nexus 4 debuted at $349. Another anonymous source recently divulged that the Nexus 5 would sell for half of the iPhone 5S price tag, which currently sells unlocked for $649, making $299 a little less than half.

Either way, it looks like the Nexus 5 is going to be fairly affordable in terms of smartphones. There will also be a 32GB model, which will supposedly sell for $399. What do you guys think? If these prices prove to be true, is it enough bang for your buck?
