Deals: the Google Pixel 10 series, Watch 4 and Buds 2a are now on pre-order

"The Google Pixel 10 is the first vanilla model to have a telephoto lens. However, it loses the large 1/1.31" sensor in the main and the high-resolution ultra-wide of the Pixel 9. The new model comes with a $100 Amazon Gift Card. You may be tempted to get the old one, but we'd hold off a week or two - the Pixel 9 is back at MSRP. It should go back to its discounted price after the 10 launches."

"The Google Pixel 10 Pro gets a bigger $200 Gift Card. This leaves only $100 between the 10 and 10 Pro, once the gift cards are calculated into the price. The Pro model does have the large 1/1.31" main sensor and the high-resolution ultra-wide (48MP vs. 13MP), plus a superior telephoto - both have 5x zoom, but this one can go further with its 48MP sensor (vs. 10.5MP). The Pro model also gets a superior LTPO OLED display with a higher resolution (1280p+ vs. 1080p+). The chipset is the same for both, Tensor G5, but the Pro has more RAM (16GB vs. 12GB)."

"The Google Pixel 10 Pro XL also gets a $200 gift card and is essentially an upsized version of the 10 Pro. It has a 6.8" LTPO display (1344p+) and a 5,200mAh battery with faster 45W wired and 25W Qi2 charging. Note that this year there is no 128GB option - the cheapest Pro XL is now the 256GB model. Again, the Pixel 10, 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL are on pre-order now and will start shipping next week (nominally, on August 28, but the first units may arrive early)."

Google's Pixel 10 series marks a transition to TSMC-made Tensor G5 chipsets and opens pre-orders immediately. Three models — Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL — will start shipping next week while the foldable arrives in early October. Pricing matches last year and Amazon includes gift cards with pre-orders: $100 for Pixel 10 and $200 for 10 Pro and Pro XL. Pixel 10 adds a telephoto but loses the 1/1.31" main sensor and the high-resolution ultra-wide from Pixel 9. Pixel 10 Pro retains the 1/1.31" main sensor, 48MP ultra-wide, superior telephoto, LTPO 1280p+ OLED, and 16GB RAM. Pro XL ups to a 6.8" 1344p+ display, 5,200mAh battery, faster wired and Qi2 charging, and now starts at 256GB.
