If you’re in the market for a new Android smartphone – or if you’re looking for a solid last-minute gift – Google’s Pixel 10 is a great place to look. We consider it the best Android phone you can buy, and right now you can grab it from Amazon starting at $449 ($350 off) when you use the promo code. PIXEL10which brings Google’s entry-level flagship back to its lowest price yet. If you prefer better cameras or a bigger screen, Amazon also offers the Pixel 10 Pro and the Pixel 10 Pro XL for $649 ($350 off) and $799 ($400 off), respectively, using the same code.
In his criticism, Edge Lead reviewer Allison Johnson called the Pixel 10 a great basic Android phone that offers notable improvements over its predecessor. It has a 6.3-inch OLED display and a 120Hz refresh rate, along with a peak brightness of 3,000 nits, making it easy to view in bright sunlight. It also includes a range of useful AI-based tools and a dedicated telephoto lens – a first for a non-Pro Pixel phone – ideal for capturing portraits.
One of the Pixel 10’s most notable improvements, however, is the addition of Qi2 wireless charging with built-in magnets – arguably the coolest part of the device – meaning you don’t need a separate case for easy and precise charging alignment. The device also includes Google’s Tensor G5 chip, which is the same one found in the more expensive Pro models; However, the Pixel 10 has slightly lower RAM (12GB vs. 16GB). Still, you shouldn’t notice any major differences in day-to-day performance unless you really push them with heavy multitasking and serious mobile gaming.
Our main complaint with the Pixel 10 is that its main and ultra-wide cameras aren’t as good as the Pro’s. That said, the standard Pixel produces perfectly fine images, while the telephoto lens is a nice addition. At its normal price of $799, we think the Pixel 10 is already excellent value for money. At $449, it’s a pretty good deal.
