The LG-made Nexus 5 from 2013 was so popular that Google made another one. The Nexus 5X may be a worthy successor to the well-loved device, but for some, nothing beats the original. So if you’re looking to snag a 2013 Nexus 5 for cheap, eBay may have just the thing for you. Right now, you can purchase a brand new unlocked 16GB Nexus 5 in Black from eBay for only $174.99 . The seller is also throwing in free shipping as an added bonus.

It has a 2300mAh battery, support for wireless charging. It’s also running Android 6.0 Marshmallow . Speaking from experience, my Nexus 5 runs quite well on Marshmallow, so you shouldn’t have any problems there. It’s still a perfectly capable device. And for just $175, it’s a steal.

DotEmu has just announced its plans to bring Sanitarium to both Android and iOS on Thursday, October 29th… just in time for Halloween.

Just like we saw with the first one, the port of Tomb Raider 2 doesn’t mess the original formula that much at all. That means the same graphics as Tomb Raider was released with nearly two decades ago (it launched in 1997). Really the only main difference here is the on-screen controllers that have been added in. On-screen controls are never going to be as good as using a console-quality gamepad (Bluetooth controllers are supported), but it’s still a welcome addition for those that want to pick up the game and play anywhere, without having to worry about bringing a controller with them. It’s also worth noting that the TR2 expansion, The Golden Mask, is included here, giving you even more content. All of this at a price of just $.99 with no in-app purchases. Here’s the full features log, straight from the Google Play listing: Explore GRAND NEW LOCATIONS from Tibet, China to Venice, Italy! ARM YOURSELF with automatic pistols, grenade launcher, M16 rifle and more! Ove

If you’re a fan of Respawn Entertainment’s first-person shooter franchise  Titanfall  and thought it would be well-suited on a mobile device, we have some good news for you. Independent video game developer Respawn and Nexon, a Korean game publisher, have teamed up to bring several new and original  Titanfall  games to Android smartphones and tablets. The two companies say that we can expect multiple  Titanfall  titles in the future, with the first one launching on Android sometime in 2016. For those unfamiliar,  Titanfall was originally released for the PC and Xbox One in early 2014, and was ported to the Xbox 360 just one month after that. In the game, you can play as both an assault Pilot and a fast and powerful Titan in six-on-six matches in war-town outer space colonies. Depending on how many players are in each match, the game can get quite hectic, yet fun at the same time.  Titanfall was actually the most-awarded game at E3 2013, earning over 100 nominations and over 60 wins

Just a few hours ago OnePlus announced its new affordable Android handset, the OnePlus X . Not only does the X seem like a pretty decent mid-tier smartphone so far, the big news here is its low $249 price point. Even though you’ll still need to purchase the phone with an invite ( well, sort of ), $249 is one heck of a deal for this device. Low price points seem to be the theme with OnePlus as of late, as the company has just announced a new pair of earphones called the OnePlus Icons. The Icons are in-ear headphones that feature a 51-degree angle design to help better fit in your ear, and they also come with three different sizes of silicone ear tips to suit your needs. As for the earphones’ specs, they come with 11mm dynamic drivers and feature a three-chamber design that OnePlus says will help to change the intensity of low-frequency sound. Don't miss: OnePlus X hands-on and first impressions! 30 To show you just what these earphones can do, OnePlus did a blind sound test

Due to declining smartphone sales, LG Electronics is reporting a disappointing Q3 2015. Earlier today the Korean conglomerate issued its earnings report, which saw overall net income decline by 48% YoY to 83.7 billion won ($73.7 million). FactSec, a financial analytic company, had originally projected LG would boast 146.5 billion won ($129.1 million) in earnings. Total sales were down 5% to 14 trillion won ($12.3 billion) with operating profit falling 37 percent to 294 billion won ($259.1 million). The sour results have a clear culprit, with mobile sales seeing a 77.6 billion won ($68.4 million) decrease despite shipping 15 million smartphones during this period. Sales of said devices were not attributed to high end models, with the OEM having a wide selection of affordable low and mid range offerings. The company remained optimistic that Q4 will prove more profitable thanks to sales from both the V10 flagship and the new Nexus 5X hardware. The positive news to be found was the fa
