We saw some amazing Prime Day deals in October, including one on the Pixel 10 that seemed too good to be true. But now that Black Friday is in full swing, it turns out it wasn't a fluke; the Pixel 10 is back down to its lowest price this year, with a pretty impressive 25% discount.
To me, the Google Pixel 10 felt appropriately priced at $800, but at 25% off, you're paying just $600 for a pretty fantastic phone. It's already one of the cheaper flagship AI phones you can buy, so a $200 discount just months after launch is a deal worth taking advantage of.
✅Recommended if: You want a straightforward and easy-to-use Android phone with great cameras, good battery life, long software support, and magnetic charging.
❌Skip this deal if: You want a smartphone with a large display, fast charging, and more base storage in case 128GB isn't enough.
Pixel AI magic for less
I've owned and reviewed several Pixel phones, but the Pixel 10 feels like the final form of Google's base model phone. Not only does it come with a new Tensor chip and larger battery, but it also gets features that finally help justify the $800 price tag (making the discount feel that much sweeter).
The addition of a third camera finally gives you incredible zoom detail with the 5x telephoto sensor. Plus, the new cameras capture images that feel much livelier than those from previous models, which I talk a bit more about in my Pixel 10 camera review.
Battery life also feels great, with the phone easily lasting all day. Google manages to be the first company to stick full Qi2 compatibility on a flagship Android phone. This means you can use MagSafe accessories with the Pixel 10 without needing a case, just like recent iPhones. It's incredibly convenient, especially when it comes to portable power banks, stands, storage devices, and more.
But of course, you can't talk about Pixel without mentioning the software and AI. Google takes its AI chops to the next level with a host of new and improved features, including Gemini Live and more. Magic Cue surfaces relevant on-device information for you based on conversations you're having or things you're doing, so you don't have to search for it. It's a huge time-saver and really showcases how AI can be actually useful.
Camera Coach is also a neat feature that can help you take the perfect photo by guiding you through the process. Just tell it what kind of photo you want to take and follow the steps. It works based on whatever scene is in the viewfinder, so it'll know just how to capture the moment.
