The Google Pixel 10 Is $150 Off

Amazon is offering a $150 discount on the Google Pixel 10, bringing the price down to $649 for the 128GB model, making it an excellent deal for photography enthusiasts.

On the hunt for a new Android smartphone? Amazon currently has the 128-GB Pixel 10 in Obsidian marked down to just $649, $150 off its usual price. It's one of our favorite Android smartphones, particularly for users who take a lot of photos.

The biggest advantage to a Pixel over other Android smartphones is that you get the latest features from Google as soon as they're available, often before other brands implement them. There are special camera modes that let you stitch together multiple group shots or help you improve the angle and lighting with helpful tips. You'll also find novel features like real-time translations and spam call screening, and Google even figured out how to let you AirDrop files with iOS users.

All of that functionality is powered by some of the better hardware you can find in an Android phone. The Pixel 10 sports a 6.3-inch OLED display with a 120-Hz refresh rate for gaming and smoother scrolling. The Tensor G5 is a step up from the 10a's Tensor G4 chip, and it sports 12 GB of memory for better performance. They even support Qi2 wireless charging, making them compatible with existing MagSafe accessories.

While the Pixel 10a will satisfy most folks, the Pixel 10 offers a variety of upgrades over the more basic model, most of which pertain to the cameras and image processing. The rear camera has a proper 5X optical zoom, letting you nail those nature shots without scaring the wildlife, and the front camera sports auto-focus, which will make your big group selfies less of a headache. Oddly, the battery is actually a bit smaller in the Pixel 10, but neither disappointed us when it came to longevity.

If you're sold on the Pixel 10, I spotted the discounted $649 price point for the 128-GB model in both Obsidian and Lemongrass, or $749 in Indigo. If you need more storage, the Obsidian and Frost colors were both marked down to $749 for the upgraded 256-GB version. If you're wondering what other Android smartphones we like, make sure to check out our in-depth guide with picks from Google, Samsung, and OnePlus.
