Last year's Pixel 10 Pro is this holiday season's dream diminutive bargain at a $300 discount
Technically discontinued by its manufacturer, the 6.3-inch Google Pixel 10 Pro remains a very smart Amazon buy at this massively reduced price.

Then I believe you should strongly consider the Pixel 10 Pro while it's available at a substantial $300 discount from a $999 list price in an entry-level 128GB storage variant. This is not a first-of-a-kind deal, mind you, but it's pretty rare, especially after the latest waves of price hikes for popular devices from brands like Samsung and... Google itself.
Granted, the Pixel 10 Pro hasn't suffered the same fate as the Pixel 10a mid-ranger, but only because the 6.3-inch high-ender is no longer sold directly by its manufacturer. Major retailers like Amazon, however, have kept the handset around at an unchanged price of $999 and up, but that might not be true much longer.
Today's promotion, for instance, is exclusively available for an Obsidian colorway, and once this is gone, the device could be removed from the e-commerce platform entirely. That's just a guess, of course, as is my hunch that Amazon's $300 Pixel 10 Pro discount will go unbeaten through the end of the year if the phone doesn't actually go away.
Compared to its significantly costlier successor, the Pixel 10 Pro is... not very different and certainly not considerably humbler, packing an older and slower Tensor G5 processor but basically the same 4,850mAh or so battery with 30W charging support.

The relatively small (by 2025 and 2026 standards) 120Hz refresh rate-capable screen and the ultra-sophisticated (by any standards) 50 + 48 + 48MP triple rear-facing camera system have both gone unchanged as well, and incredibly enough, the cheapest Pixel 10 Pro model actually packs four more gigs of memory than an entry-level Pixel 11 Pro configuration with a higher 256GB internal storage count.
All in all, this 2025-released powerhouse remains without a doubt one of the best Android phones you can buy in 2026, especially when you can buy it at a significantly lower price than something like Samsung's base Galaxy S26 as well.
