While Google's compact Pixel 10 can obviously be a very smart buy at a $250 discount for a certain type of Android user, I know other consumers are likely to find its 6.3-inch screen... insufficient for their needs, favoring instead the gargantuan Pixel 10 Pro XL.

Of course, the ultra-high-end 6.8-inch model comes with a... fitting price tag not everyone can stomach (or afford), but if you hurry, you can save a massive 300 bucks sans jumping through any hoops. All you have to do is visit Amazon right now and order the unlocked Pixel 10 Pro XL in an entry-level 256GB storage variant and either a Porcelain or Obsidian colorway, and the $1,199 list price will go down by what looks like an unbeatable amount... at least for the foreseeable future.

$300 off (25%)

5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 16GB RAM, 6.8-Inch OLED Super Actua Display with 2992 x 1344 Pixel Resolution, Up to 3300 Nits of Brightness, and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Google Tensor G5 Processor, Android 16, 50 + 48 + 48MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera System, 100x Pro Res Zoom Support, 42MP Front-Facing Camera, IP68 Water and Dust Resistance, 5,200mAh Battery, 45W Wired and 25W Wireless Charging Capabilities, Obsidian and Porcelain Color Options

Has the jumbo-sized Google Tensor G5 flagship scored this discount before? Yes, a number of times, most recently about a month ago. But each time that has happened, the deal has gone away after a few days (tops), and something tells me the same will be true this time around as well. Especially with only two color options and a single storage configuration available at $300 off list at the time of this writing.

Now, is the Pixel 10 Pro XL the best phone for you? That's a question you'll each have to find the answer to on your own after carefully analyzing the pros, cons, and, perhaps most importantly, the competition.

What I can say is this newly reduced price makes the undeniably powerful, stylish, and versatile Google-made device significantly more appealing (to a cash-strapped Android power user, at least) than both Samsung's Galaxy S26 Plus and S26 Ultra.

Granted, our comprehensive Pixel 10 Pro XL review found a few notable flaws to consider before pulling the trigger (mostly because there's no such thing as a flawless phone), but at a hefty $300 discount, I believe the key overall performance, screen quality, camera, and build quality strengths clearly outweigh the minor battery life and occasional software weaknesses.
