If you missed all of the big holiday sales last month, you're in luck: Best Buy is continuing the festivities by slashing a straight $250 off the unlocked Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, one of the best Android phones that money can buy today.
The Pixel phone deal is part of the retailer's sitewide Winter Sale, ostensibly an attempt by Best Buy to ditch any leftover stock from the holidays. The discount drops the price of the AI-boosted powerhouse flagship down to $949, plus there's an opportunity for an additional $100 off if you activate the phone through Verizon or AT&T.
We called the Pixel 10 Pro XL the "best choice for parents" in our guide to the best Android phones of 2025, thanks to the flagship's versatile camera tech, fun AI features, and gorgeous 6.8-inch OLED display.
Best Buy launches Black Friday discount on the Pixel 10 Pro XL
Google Pixel 10 Pro XL 256GB: $1,199 $949 unlocked | $849 with activation at Best Buy
The Pixel 10 Pro XL is one of the most powerful Google phones ever built, and now you can save a straight $250 on the device when you buy it unlocked during Best Buy's Winter Sale. Activate the device through Verizon or AT&T to score some additional savings, plus there's some trade-in credit up for grabs if you have an old or broken phone that you're looking to ditch.
If you prefer a smaller device, it's worth mentioning that Best Buy is also slashing $200 off the price of the regular Google Pixel 10 Pro.
✅Recommended if: you want a large phone with great cameras and cutting-edge onboard AI processing; you like the simplicity of unlocked phones and want a device with long software support.
❌Skip this deal if: you can get a better deal through your wireless carrier; you can afford to go with a (marginally) better phone, such as the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra; you suffer from PWM sensitivities.
The Pixel 10 lineup continues Google's legacy of producing flagship phones that are sleek, powerful, and full of the buzziest software features. Usually priced around $1,199 unlocked, the Pixel 10 Pro XL boasts the generous 6.8-inch OLED 120Hz display that gives the phone its name, while under the hood you get an efficient Tensor G5 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a large 5,200mAh battery with Qi2 charging support.
As usual with Pixel devices, the camera system is where the Google Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL really shine. The 50MP main lens is a joy to use straight out of the box, but the phone reaches its full potential when you take advantage of its suite of AI-boosted software tools. These features include fun and useful tricks like Pro Res Zoom, Camera Coach, and Auto Best Take.

A $949 smartphone is still a tough sell for a lot of people, so if you don't mind updating your wireless service, it's also worth mentioning that T-Mobile will give you a FREE Google Pixel 10 Pro XL when you add a line with the Experience Beyond plan. No trade-in required!
