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.

Pixel 11 vs Pixel 10 series: Do Google’s new phones offer enough for an upgrade?
I compared the Pixel 11 series to the Pixel 10, and here's what you should know before buying
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

Google’s Pixel 11 family is here, and on paper, it fixes several things I wanted to see improved from the Pixel 10 generation. Tensor G6 promises a meaningful performance bump on all four models, while Google has upgraded cameras throughout the lineup, along with faster charging, and the Pro models get brighter and tougher displays. The Pixel 11 Pro Fold also undergoes much-needed design refinements.

These are some solid improvements for an annual update to Google's flagship lineup. But whether they justify replacing a Pixel 10 you bought a year ago is a different question. Having covered and used enough annual smartphone refreshes over the years, here's who should actually make the upgrade.
