On Black Friday, NVIDIA held a special promotion where you could get the  Shield Android TV set-top box for just $150, with a free  Shield Remote ($50 value) included as well. This made for a savings of $100 all-together, though the only catch was the offer was good in participating brick-and-mortar locations such as Best Buy. For those wanting to get in on the deal online, today is the day! Celebrating the still relatively new Cyber Monday tradition, NVIDIA is opening up the promotion online, while supplies last. NVIDIA is also offering discounts on a handful of games on its website, so head to shield.nvidia.com to shop around.

Despite being very new to the market, the LG-made Nexus 5x saw its first price drop during Black Friday sales last week, going down $80 to just $299 for the 16GB model, or $349 for the 32GB version. If you’ve been considering buying the phone at the reduced price, now’s your last day to get in on the deal. Amazon and B&H have already returned pricing to its original range, but the Google Store is still selling the phone for the same $80 off for Cyber Monday. The Nexus 5x might not be as exciting as the Nexus 6p , but at $300 it’s still a pretty solid deal. For those that need the brief refresher, the Nexus 5X is powered by a Snapdragon 808 with 2GB RAM. Other specs include a 5.2-inch 1080p display, 16/32 GB of internal storage, a 12.3 MP rear camera, a 5 MP front shooter and a 2700 mAh battery. On the software end you’ll find Android 6.0 Marshmallow  out of the box. For more details on what to expect be sure to check out our full review . What do you think, worth picking up at

Update (11/30): Live now! Next Monday, Motorola is rolling out a slew of savings just in time to get your holiday shopping done early. The sale begins on Cyber Monday (November 30th) at 11AM CT and will last until midnight the following Monday, December 7th.  What exactly can you expect to see in this week-long deal fest? For starters, the 64GB version of the Moto X (2nd Gen) is getting a full quarter of its price tag slashed. That gorgeous AMOLED screen and all the boons of Moto Assist can be yours for only $299.99. Normally you could expect to fork over $400 dollars for this device. It looks like that sale will last all week long, but some of these will flicker right by if you aren’t paying attention. The Moto G (2nd Gen) , for instance, is dropping from its usual $179.99 to a cool $99.99. However, to take advantage of this offer, you have to jump on it quick. This sale only lasts the twenty-four hours spanning Monday, November 30th at 11:00AM to Tuesday, December 1 at 10:59

Android Wear has evolved a lot since it was first announced back in 2014. In the early days, there were only a few options, mainly from Motorola and LG.
