Google Pixel 10 Pro, Pro XL specs leak ahead of launch: Tensor G5, 16GB RAM, bigger battery tipped
As anticipation builds for Google's next flagship smartphone launch, new leaks have shed light on what consumers can expect from the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL. While the official unveiling date remains under wraps, the latest reports suggest an August debut could be on the cards. According to information shared byAndroid Headlines, the Pixel 10 Pro series will likely bring incremental hardware improvements over the Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL. The most notable upgrade appears to be the inclusion of Google's in-house Tensor G5 chipset, which is expected to be paired with up to 16GB of RAM. Storage configurations could vary, with the Pixel 10 Pro reportedly launching in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB variants, while the larger Pixel 10 Pro XL may start at 256GB. Both phones are likely to sport LTPO OLED displays with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz and a peak brightness of 3,000 nits. The Pixel 10 Pro is rumoured to feature a 6.3-inch screen, whereas the Pro XL could house a more expansive 6.8-inch display. Durability is expected to remain a priority, with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 reportedly protecting both the front and back of the devices. In terms of photography, Google seems to be sticking to its tried-and-tested formula. The rear camera setup is said to mirror that of the previous generation, comprising a 50MP main sensor, a 48MP ultra-wide lens, and a 48MP telephoto unit offering 5x optical zoom. Both the ultra-wide and telephoto cameras are rumoured to support macro photography. On the front, users may find an upgraded 42MP selfie camera. Battery life could also see modest improvements. The Pixel 10 Pro is tipped to include a 4,870mAh battery, slightly larger than its predecessor's 4,700mAh unit. It may also benefit from a larger vapour chamber for improved thermal management. Meanwhile, the Pixel 10 Pro XL is expected to come with a 5,200mAh battery, potentially making it the largest battery ever fitted to a Pixel phone. Charging speeds are also anticipated to increase. The Pixel 10 Pro is believed to support 29W wired charging, while the XL variant could offer up to 39W. Both handsets are said to support 15W wireless charging.

Too good to be true! Pixel 9 drops to $249 ahead of Prime Day
Usually I'm all for top-of-the-line models whenever phone makers announce their new lineup, but I've said previously that the Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL are overrated. Instead, I mentioned how the Pixel 9 is the one with the most value — and it's down to as low as $249 for a limited time. This is the best phone deal I've seen ahead of Prime Day, beating out Mint Mobile's exceptional deal on the Samsung Galaxy S25 I shared not long ago. The Pixel 9 normally sells for $799, but U.S. Mobile drops its price to $249. That's a discount of 68% off, which is insane for a phone of this caliber. In fact, that's half the cost of the already budget phone in the Pixel 9a. The Pixel 9 is down to $249 for a limited time when you activate it on a qualifying U.S. Mobile cell phone plan. Not only does it have exception cameras on the back, but its value is supplemented by the amount of helpful AI features it offers and 7 years of software support. I still can't believe how the wireless carrier is able to give it such a deep discount. From what I read on its site, you get the instant $550 discount when you commit to any of its cell phone plans — your choice of doing a monthly or annual plan. Its monthly plan starts at $25/month for the Unlimited Starter plan and provides the essentials like unlimited talk, text, and data. You can upgrade to its Unlimited Premium plan for $44/month and get premium data that never slows down, international service, and unlimited hotpot service. Of course, there's more of a discount if you choose to pay for the service annually. For example, you'll pay $270 for its Unlimited Starter plan, which comes out to be $22.50/month. There's an extra promo code you can use at checkout, OVERDRIVE, that drops down the annual plan to essentially cost $19/month for 12 months. Just as before, I still think the Pixel 9 has the best value in the entire lineup because it has all the same Google AI features as the more pricey phones. Over on the photo editing side, there's the new Add Me feature that uses augmented reality to Photoshop the photographer who's taking a snapshot with the phone and add them into the group shot. Additionally, I really love how realistic it generates images from scratch with Pixel Studio. And finally, there's the new Reimagine feature that lets me use a text description to edit photos — like changing the background to something else entirely. On the productivity side of things, there's Pixel Screenshots that uses AI to grab details that could be recalled later. For example, I could use it to take a screenshot of a recipe and then I can go back months later to ask for those details that I might've forgotten — or use it to remember an upcoming event, so I can quickly recall the details later on. Another reason why I think the Pixel 9 is underrated against its 'pro' siblings is because it has the same main and ultrawide cameras. This consists of 50MP main and 48MP ultrawide cameras, which are identical to the more expensive Pro models. The only thing that can't match is the dedicated telephoto cameras with 5x optical zoom. Although, its image processing algorithms do an excellent job of enhancing photos up to 3x zoom in my opinion. And finally, the Pixel 9 is treated to the same IP68 construction and 7 years of software support as the other, more expensive pro models. What's also interesting about this U.S. Mobile deal is that the carrier will unlock the phone 90 days after activation, which means you can bring it to any other carrier. This isn't the only deal happening with the Pixel 9 right now because I've listed some of my favorite ones below. Through Google Fi Wireless, you can get the Pixel 9 for $399 when you activate it on a plan and keep the service for 120 days. The best part about this deal is that you'll have four color options to choose from, instead of the single one offered by U.S. Mobile. Similar to its Galaxy S25 deal, Mint Mobile's discounting the Pixel 9 down to $359. But the best part is that the unlimited cell phone plan that comes with it also gets a big discount. You're paying $360 for 2 years of unlimited service, which combined with the hardware cost, comes out to $719 at checkout. That's less than the cost of buying the phone outright. It's not the deepest discount, but if you need something without having to commit to a new service plan, Best Buy gives you an extra $100 discount when you select the option to connect it to Verizon or AT&T at checkout.

The Pixel 8 and 8 Pro are equipped with a next-gen Tensor G3 processor, new AI features and improved screens. Right now, these models -- and deals on them -- are a little scarce, so what's available are mostly trade-in credit offers. For the time being, you can still purchase both the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro from Google directly, with the former starting at $699 and the latter starting at $999. There aren't any special offers or discounts, but you can save hundreds when you trade in your old phone. Discounts will vary depending on your device's year, condition and configuration. The biggest savings are available from newer model iPhones, but as you likely won't choose to downgrade then realistically you'll probably be trading in an older model. That should net you a $100 to $300 discount. See at Google Store AT&T doesn't have any discounts or special offers, but it does still have the basic Pixel 8 in stock, and you can score some savings with an eligible trade-in. Unless you're looking to downgrade, the most you'll save is around $430, which is what you get for a maxed-out iPhone 14 Pro Max. Most older phones will net you around $200, and the discount is applied as bill credits over 36 months. Note that AT&T lists the phone for $40 more than Google's price. See at AT&T If you're after an unlocked model, Best Buy is offering $200 off the basic Pixel 8 and a whopping $400 off the Pixel 8 Pro, which drops the prices down to just $499 and $599 respectively. However, Best Buy also accepts old phones for up to $240 off, and you'll save $100 if you opt for same-day activation and sign up with either AT&T or Verizon. See at Best Buy The Pixel 8A is still the latest model in Google's affordable "A" lineup, and it's a tremendous value at just $500. That price gets even better if you take advantage of one of these offers. Google isn't offering any direct discount son the Google Pixel 8A. Those looking to join Google Fi Wireless will also get $499 back in bill credits over 36 months, effectively netting you the phone for free. Just note that this offer is only available to new Google Fi customers. See at Google Store Best Buy isn't currently offering any discounts on the Pixel 8A. If you're looking to sign up with either AT&T or Verizon, you'll get an $100 off when you opt for same-day activation. Best Buy also has its own trade-in program where you can save even more. See at Best Buy Unfortunately, AT&T doesn't have any special offers on the Pixel 8A at the moment. The carrier does have a trade-in program where you can score some savings in exchange for your old phone. Trade-in credit will depend on the model, year and condition of your device, but the most you're likely to get (unless you're looking to downgrade) is around $300. Discounts will be applied as bill credits over 36 months. See at AT&T Right now, T-Mobile is offering the Pixel 8A for $600 off if you add a new line on a qualifying plan; no trade-in is required.

Just note that only the obsidian black variant is in stock at the moment. See at T-Mobile The Pixel 7 and 7 Pro hit shelves back in October 2022, and they're getting pretty tough to find in stock. Below, we've rounded up the best offers still available to help you get one in your hands for less. Best Buy is sold out of the basic Pixel 7, but it does have the Pixel 7 Pro in stock. It's automatically discounted by $200, and you can save $100 more if you activate a new line through Verizon. You can save even more with Best Buy's trade-in program as well. See at Best Buy The Pixel Fold was Google's very first foldable device, and it's the predecessor to the new Pixel 9 Pro Fold. It features a 5.8-inch cover screen, a 7.6-inch OLED internal screen, 12GB of RAM, a Tensor G2 processor and an intimidating $1,799 starting price. It's getting pretty tough to find these original foldables in stock -- especially with a new model on the shelves. Right now there are no current deals, although you may be able to find a refurbished model at a decent price. It's almost impossible to find the original Pixel Fold in new condition these days, and even if you did, chances are you'd still be better off upgrading to the new Pixel 9 Pro Fold instead. If you have a special affinity for this 2023 foldable, you can find refurbished models available for around $448 at Back Market.
