Score a 15% Discount on the Google Pixel 10A!

This week saw the launch of Google’s Pixel 11 lineup, featuring the $899 Pixel 11, the $1,099 Pixel 11 Pro (which shares the same processor and starts with 12GB of RAM as the standard model but boasts enhanced cameras), and the $1,899 Pixel 11 Pro Fold. While these devices are impressive, if you’re okay with skipping their new exclusive camera and AI features, you can snag a solid Google phone for significantly less.

The Google Pixel 10A has been available for a tempting $424 (down from its original price of $499) at various retailers since early August, and it’s worth mentioning again for anyone in the market for a new phone.

With an IP68 rating, a 90Hz refresh rate display, wireless charging, and a sleek design, you don’t need to spend close to $1,000 to get a quality device. The Pixel 10A, while comparable to Apple’s iPhone 17E (though it features slightly older components), retains many of the hardware and software perks of previous Pixel models. The main differences between the 10A and its pricier counterparts lie in its camera specs and the Tensor G4 processor, which debuted with the Pixel 9 series. Although we noted that the 10A didn’t bring many changes compared to the 9A, it remains a solid choice if you haven’t upgraded in a while.

Other great deals to consider:

* If you’re hesitant about splurging on SteelSeries’ new Arctis Nova Pro Omni gaming headset at $399.99, you’re not alone. The Omni offers only minor upgrades in sound and noise cancellation over the previous Nova Pro Wireless model. The Xbox version of the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is currently a steal at $249.99 on Amazon, making it one of the best deals around. It’s compatible with PlayStation, Switch, Switch 2, and PC as well.

* I’ve been curious about soldering, especially with the release of Hoto’s SnapBloq rechargeable soldering iron. Priced at $79.99, it’s a bit steep, especially when Fanttik’s T1 Max offers a more comprehensive and powerful setup for less. Originally $79.99, it’s now down to $55.99 on Amazon and comes with multiple soldering tips, an aluminum swiveling stand, sponges, a desoldering pump, and a power cable. It heats up to 840 degrees Fahrenheit and features six temperature levels for precise control. It can operate wirelessly with its 2,600mAh battery or plugged in via USB-C.

* While Best Buy doesn’t stock physical movies in its stores, it does offer them online through third-party sellers. They’ve teamed up with several to create a sale featuring fantastic prices on Blu-ray films and TV shows. Highlights include the Back to the Future trilogy 4K Blu-ray set for $34.99 (usually around $10 more), the steelbook Blu-ray set of Cowboy Bebop for $37.99, and a wide selection of Disney films and other classics on 4K Blu-ray.
