Weekly deals: the Google Pixel 10 series is up to $300 off, Galaxy A37 gets its first real discount
Big Savings: The Google Pixel 10 Series Is Having a Major Moment
It’s not every day you see an entire flagship lineup get a price cut at the same time, but that’s exactly what’s happening with the Pixel 10 series. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to upgrade, the non-folding models are currently seeing some of their best prices yet. Leading the pack is the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, which is currently sitting at a massive $300 discount. This brings the 256GB base model down to a much more manageable $900, while the 512GB version is hovering just above the $1,000 mark.
Deciding between the standard Pixel 10 Pro and the XL mostly comes down to how much screen real estate you need. They share the same internal DNA, though the XL naturally packs a larger display (6.8” vs 6.3”) and a slightly beefier battery. Interestingly, their real-world battery life and charging speeds are almost identical—both will take about 90 minutes to top off, so the choice is really about ergonomics and pocket space.
For those looking for the best value, the vanilla Pixel 10 is a standout this year. It’s the first base model to finally include a dedicated telephoto camera. While it misses out on a few Pro-level bells and whistles, it uses the same powerful chipset, making it a formidable daily driver for a lot less money.
Mid-Range Shakeup: Samsung Galaxy A37 vs. Pixel 10a
The mid-range market is getting spicy with the Samsung Galaxy A37 receiving its first real $50 discount. Whether you go for the 128GB or 256GB model, the price is dropping, but we have a pro tip: go for the 256GB version. Not only do you get more storage, but you get 8GB of RAM instead of 6GB. Since Samsung is promising six years of software support for this device, that extra RAM will be the difference between a smooth experience and a sluggish one three years from now.
If you’re torn between the Galaxy A37 and the Pixel 10a, it’s a classic battle of size versus performance. The Samsung offers a larger 6.7” screen, but the Pixel 10a punches above its weight with better battery endurance and a more powerful GPU. The Pixel also brings wireless charging to the table, which is still a rarity at this price point.
The Samsung Dilemma: Is the S25 FE a Better Deal?
While we wait for the Galaxy A57 to see its first discount, it’s worth looking at the Galaxy S25 FE. At current prices, the S25 FE is a bit of a “flagship killer.” For roughly the same money as a high-end A-series phone, you’re getting a much faster chipset, UFS 4.0 storage, an LTPO display, and full DeX support. If you can live with the 128GB storage base, the S25 FE is arguably the smarter buy.
Completing the Ecosystem: Watches and Buds
No phone upgrade is complete without the right accessories. For Pixel owners, the Pixel Watch 4 is the clear companion, especially the LTE model which includes Satellite SOS—a literal lifesaver if you spend time off the grid. If your budget is tighter, the Pixel Watch 3 is still a great choice, though you’ll miss out on that emergency connectivity.
On the audio front, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 offer industry-leading noise cancellation, while Samsung fans should look toward the Galaxy Buds4 Pro or the budget-friendly Buds3 FE for a seamless integrated experience.
