The Google Pixel 10 is $150 off

on the hunt for a new android smartphone? amazon currently has the 128GB Pixel 10 in Obsidian marked down to just $649$150 off its regular price. This is one of our favorite Android smartphones, especially for users who take a lot of photos.

The biggest advantage a Pixel has 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 new features like real-time translations and spam call screening, and Google even figured out how to AirDrop your files with iOS users.

All that functionality is powered by some of the best hardware you can find in an Android phone. The Pixel 10 has a 6.3-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate for gaming and smoother browsing. The Tensor G5 is a step up from the 10a’s Tensor G4 chip, and it has 12GB 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 people, the Pixel 10 offers a variety of upgrades over the more basic model, most of which relate to the cameras and image processing. The rear camera has a proper 5X optical zoom, allowing you to nail those nature shots without spooking the wildlife, and the front camera sports autofocus, which will make your big group selfies less of a headache. Oddly enough, the battery is actually a bit smaller in the Pixel 10, but didn’t disappoint us when it came to longevity either.

If you’re sold on the Pixel 10, I’ve seen the discounted price of $649 for the 128GB model in both Obsidian and Lemongrassor $749 in Indigo. If you need more storage, the Obsidian and Ripe colors are both marked down to $749 for the upgraded 256-GB version.
