Deal | Flagship Google Pixel 10 discounted by $250 as next-gen refresh nears

Google is set to refresh its phone lineup in August 2026, and as the launch of the next-gen smartphones nears, the current-gen options are getting some heavy discounts. The 128GB Pixel 10, for example, has just seen a hefty price cut on Amazon-owned Woot.

This compact flagship is currently down to $549, which translates to a generous $250 discount from the regular price. It's worth noting that this deal will be available for a very limited time, ending on April 4, 2026, or when Woot runs out of the sale stock.

Compared to the last-gen non-Pro phone, the Pixel 10 has seen some meaningful upgrades. As always, the camera setup is the main highlight. It comes with a triple-camera setup, comprising a telephoto sensor. This 5x camera can offer detailed zooms, but it misses out on the AI-enhanced Pro Zoom feature available on the upper-end phones of the lineup.

The display is another highlight of the phone. It's a 6.3-inch OLED with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 3,000-nit peak brightness rating. DxOMark tested this panel and ranked it 2nd in their database. Per the test, the display can offer an accurate color reproduction and well-managed HDR10 playback. The touch response was also praised by the benchmarking organization.

While the battery capacity has seen a notable jump over the Pixel 9, as many users have noted, the battery life is average at best. This issue stems from the unoptimized nature of the Tensor G5, but for users who don't do heavy tasks often, the relatively poor battery life won't be a big issue (slim Baseus PicoGo power bank curr. $22.99 on Amazon).

Speaking of the SoC, while the Tensor G5 is a notable upgrade over the G4, it still struggles to keep up with the competition. So, for those who are looking for a performance-focused phone, the Pixel 10 isn't the best choice out there.

Other than that, the build quality is solid, and the phone comes with good stereo speakers. It's also set to receive Android OS and security updates until August 2032. Check out the review video below to learn more about the phone.
