You don’t have to check your calendars… or your chromatic sense, as today is clearly not a Friday (or a black day of any type), but at the same time, retailers like Amazon and Best Buy are also very obviously offering amazing discounts on some of the best phones around all of a sudden that are unlikely to be eclipsed this holiday season.
Amazon’s Black Friday-grade Pixel 10 Pro deal, for instance, is pretty much as attractive and as unusual as the early Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro Fold holiday discounts I literally just told you about, so all that’s left to decide is how much money you’re willing to spend on your next compact Android handset.

If you can afford it at a whopping 250 bucks under its regular prices of $999 and up, the Pixel 10 Pro is naturally a better choice than the non-Pro Pixel 10, with not only a higher-quality screen in tow, but more RAM under the hood, and perhaps most importantly, way better cameras on both the back and the front of the device.
Thanks to that impressive 16GB memory count, those 50, 48, and 48MP rear-facing cameras, the 42MP selfie snapper, and a hefty 4,870mAh battery, this almost surprisingly affordable (at least now) Android powerhouse undeniably eclipses the likes of Samsung’s Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus as well in terms of overall bang for your buck.

$999, of course, would normally get you just 128 gigs of internal storage space, so if you think you need more, you should go for a costlier 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB variant, all three of which are also currently marked down by $250 sans any restrictions or special requirements.
