For those eyeing a new Android smartphone or scouring for an excellent last-minute gift, the Google Pixel 10 should be high on your list. It’s widely regarded as the top pick for Android phones currently available. At present, you can purchase it on Amazon for just $449, a savings of $350, by applying the promo code PIXEL10. This discount marks the phone’s lowest price so far. If you’re after superior camera capabilities or a larger display, the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL are also on offer at discounted prices of $649 and $799, with savings of $350 and $400 respectively, using the same promotional code.

Allison Johnson, a senior reviewer at Verge, praised the Pixel 10 as an excellent, straightforward Android device that introduces several improvements over its predecessor. The phone sports a 6.3-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz and boasts a peak brightness of 3,000 nits, ensuring visibility even in bright sunlight. It also comes equipped with an impressive suite of AI-driven features and, notably, includes a dedicated telephoto camera—a first for a non-Pro Pixel model—ideal for capturing stunning portrait shots.

Among the most exciting enhancements of the Pixel 10 is the inclusion of Qi2 wireless charging with integrated magnets, which makes aligning your device for charging effortless without needing a special case. It is powered by Google’s Tensor G5 chip, the same processor found in the more expensive Pro models. While the Pixel 10 comes with slightly less RAM at 12GB compared to the Pro’s 16GB, this difference is unlikely to impact everyday use unless you’re engaging in heavy multitasking or intense mobile gaming.

Our main critique of the Pixel 10 concerns its main and ultrawide cameras, which don’t quite match the Pro’s quality. Nonetheless, the standard Pixel model still delivers satisfactory photos, and the addition of the telephoto lens is a welcome bonus. Priced normally at $799, the Pixel 10 already offers great value, but at $449, it becomes an irresistible deal.
