This Week’s Top Deals: Pixel 10 Phones and Switch 2 Games
If you’re enjoying some downtime during the quiet week between Christmas and New Year’s, it’s the perfect opportunity to snag some deals you might have overlooked. Many of our favorite discounts from last week are still available, making it an ideal time to shop. Whether you’re in the market for a new phone, preparing for travel, or just want to treat yourself before the year ends, there are significant price cuts on Google’s Pixel 10 series, AirTags, and a variety of Nintendo Switch games, along with other must-have items. Here are the top deals to consider before the year wraps up.
Google’s Pixel 10 phones are among the top Android devices available, and this week they’ve hit some of their lowest prices yet. The Pixel 10 is currently priced at $499 ($300 off) on Amazon with promo code PIXEL10, marking its second-best price ever. If you’re after superior cameras, the Pixel 10 Pro and the 6.8-inch Pixel 10 Pro XL are also seeing record-low prices at $649 ($350 off) and $799 ($400 off), respectively, using the same code.
All three models support Qi2 wireless charging with built-in magnets and are powered by Google’s speedy Tensor G5 chip. The Pixel 10 has been praised for its solid performance, featuring a vibrant 6.3-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of up to 3,000 nits. It also introduces a dedicated telephoto lens, a first for a non-Pro Pixel, enhancing portrait photography.
For those seeking exceptional photo quality, the 6.3-inch Pixel 10 Pro or the 6.8-inch Pro XL are the better choices. Both models boast improved main and 48-megapixel ultrawide cameras, along with AI-driven features like Pro Res Zoom and an enhanced portrait mode. They also come with additional memory for smoother multitasking and sharper displays.
Anker’s Laptop Power Bank is back on sale at Amazon and Walmart for $87.99 ($47 off), matching its record-low price from last month. This 25,000mAh / 90Wh power bank is a favorite among users, featuring a retractable USB-C cable and a second built-in USB-C cable that doubles as a handle for easy transport. It includes an LCD screen displaying battery life, total power output, and temperature. With a USB-A port and an extra USB-C port, you can charge a MacBook Pro and up to three other devices simultaneously. The power output reaches 165W when charging two devices or up to 130W with more connected, and it’s carry-on compliant for flights.
