If you’ve been waiting for a good excuse to upgrade to a Pixel, that excuse arrived this week: Google’s Pixel 10 family is seeing meaningful, widespread discounts across retailers — and some of the best prices come from open-box stock at places like Best Buy. The sales cover everything from the compact Pixel 10 Pro to the larger 10 Pro XL and even the foldable Pixel 10 Pro Fold, while budget-friendly options like the Pixel 10a and region-specific offers in India make this a good window for many buyers.
Which Pixel models are cheaper right now
- Pixel 10 Pro (128GB): down to about $749 from $999 at major retailers — roughly a $250 drop on the base Pro. That matches the lowest prices we’ve seen this year for the model in new condition.
- Pixel 10 Pro open-box: Best Buy is listing “Excellent” condition units as low as $584 on select configs, a huge saving if you’re comfortable with an open-box purchase.
- Pixel 10 Pro XL: Amazon and other sellers have moved the XL into the sub-$900 range at times (Kotaku flagged $899), while Best Buy’s open-box slate has taken it even lower on certain storage levels.
- Pixel 10 Pro Fold: the foldable hasn’t escaped the cuts either — new-condition sales shave hundreds off the list price, and Best Buy’s open-box stock has shown the deepest drops (one listing down to about $1,184 for an “excellent” Moonstone unit).
- Pixel 10a: the budget pick is also cheaper in several markets; the 128GB model has been seen at all‑time-low pricing (around $449 in some regions).
- Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra: Samsung’s own discounts (including bundled Galaxy Buds 4 Pro packages) cut up to several hundred dollars off the S26 Ultra. Amazon and open-box Best Buy listings pushed some S26 Ultra SKUs into very competitive territory — Best Buy’s “excellent” open-box 256GB unit has been one of the lowest prices we’ve tracked.

- Lenovo sale: Lenovo’s weekend clearance and promo-code events dropped prices on Android tablets (Idea Tab models), Copilot+ PCs, and accessories. Notable finds included the Idea Tab Pro (a 12.7-inch 3K tablet with Tab Pen) for around $237 with codes applied, and the Legion Go S handheld dipping toward $550 during a Woot clearance.
Those prices vary by retailer, configuration and whether the unit is new or open-box, so shop carefully.

Why the open-box deals matter (and what to watch for)
Open-box units are often returns that have been inspected and verified by the retailer. They can look and work like new, but the warranty and return terms may differ, so read the fine print. Retailers such as Best Buy commonly label these as “Excellent” or “Like New” and include a limited return window; that’s why you’re seeing Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL units with discounts ranging into the hundreds.
The advantage is obvious: big savings on phones that are months, not years, removed from launch. The downside? Inventory is limited and specific color/storage combos sell out fast. If you’re picky about condition or need the full manufacturer warranty for resale value, a new unit may still be worth the splurge.
Offers outside the US (and bank promos)
India has its own sweeteners. Retailers like Vijay Sales have trimmed Pixel 10 pricing — the 12GB/256GB Pixel 10, for example, was listed around Rs 74,999 (down from Rs 79,999), with extra bank discounts for AmEx, HDFC and HSBC EMI buyers. Local promotions often stack bank cashbacks and no-cost EMI offers, so the out-the-door price can be significantly lower than the sticker.
Google’s multi-year software support promise for Pixels (seven years of updates on recent models) makes these deals more attractive: buying now can keep a phone current for a long time.
Not just Pixels: Samsung and Lenovo deals worth noting
If you’re weighing alternatives, some Samsung and Lenovo bargains popped up alongside the Pixel discounts:
How to pick the right deal for you
Think about three things: condition (new vs open-box), warranty/returns, and how long you intend to keep the phone. Open-box units are excellent value if you want top-tier hardware without the full sticker. If you plan to use trade-in credits or bank promos, calculate the final net price after trade-ins and bank discounts — those extras often decide the winner.
Finally, timing matters. These promotions are widespread but fragmented: different retailers run different price cuts, and open-box inventory is fleeting. If you see a configuration you want at a price you like, it’s reasonable to move quickly — but verify warranty coverage and return rules before hitting buy.
