Google just beat its own Prime Day Pixel 10 Pro deal, and the Pixel 11 may explain why

The 128GB Obsidian model has dropped to $699 as stock starts thinning ahead of Google’s next phone launch

Google has cut the 128GB Pixel 10 Pro in Obsidian to $699, knocking $300 off its usual price and beating its Prime Day offer by another $50.

There’s an unusually specific catch. The deepest discount only applies to one color and one storage option, while other unlocked Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL models remain $250 off.

The sale ends July 26, a little over two weeks before the Pixel 11 is expected to be announced on August 12. With some Pixel 10 Pro configurations already vanishing, Google may be trying to clear the shelves before its next flagship arrives.

Why this deal beats Prime Day

This is the lowest official Pixel 10 Pro price so far, and Amazon is matching it. Anyone who skipped Prime Day can now save another $50 on the same base model.

At $699, the Pixel 10 Pro becomes much easier to justify against standard flagship phones. The limitation is storage. While 128GB may be enough for many buyers, it can feel tight if you keep years of photos, large games, or downloaded video on your phone.

Choosing another color or capacity also wipes out part of the savings. Those configurations are still discounted, but only by $250.

Why Google may be clearing stock

Porcelain is already sold out, and several storage options in other colors are unavailable. Google hasn’t explained why the extra discount targets only the base Obsidian model.

Excess inventory would make sense this close to the expected Pixel 11 announcement. A targeted discount lets Google move a stubborn configuration without cutting prices across the entire lineup.

That remains an educated guess. Buyers can only see the narrow deal, shrinking availability, and an expiration date placed shortly before Google’s next phone event.

Should you buy before Pixel 11

The deal works best for someone who already wanted the Pixel 10 Pro and can live with 128GB. Obsidian buyers are getting the strongest official price Google has offered.

Waiting is smarter when storage choice matters more than saving an extra $50, or when you’d rather see what the Pixel 11 offers. The discounted model could disappear before July 26, but low inventory isn’t a good reason to settle for a phone configuration you’ll regret.

Buy it for the price and the phone, not because a stock counter is making you nervous.

After a brief hiatus, Acer has broken that silence, and it did so without any fanfare. Acer Mobile LATAM has quietly listed the Acer Sospiro A15, a phone with a dual-display design, Android 16, and a 64MP rear camera. Here’s everything you need to know about the phone.

Forget folding twice. Samsung’s next big-screen phone may simply slide open
Samsung’s next wild Galaxy could stretch into a tablet before TriFold 2 lands
Samsung Galaxy TriFold folding, TriFold Phone

Samsung’s first Galaxy Z TriFold turned a regular-looking phone into a 10-inch tablet using two hinges. Now, its next big-screen experiment may achieve a similar transformation by simply stretching sideways. A new leak claims Samsung's rumored Galaxy Z TriFold 2 has slipped past its original release schedule because of unspecified cost-related problems.

But the same source has revealed that a long-rumored slidable Galaxy phone might make an introduction ahead of the delayed trifold sequel.

You can now tell Waze to stop interrupting your playlist, and I can’t believe it took this long
Less talking over your music. Smarter routes based on your habits. AI that finds your destination through conversation.
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

Waze just dropped five updates at once, and if you have ever had the app blurt out a voice prompt right when your favorite lyrics drop-kicked in, one of them is going to make your day (and make you wonder why it took so long).

Less Chatty mode, in my opinion, is the one people will talk about most, and the irony is not lost on me. When enabled, it cuts down the frequency and length of voice prompts so you can focus on whatever is playing.
