The quiet stretch between Christmas and New Year’s offers a perfect chance to snag lingering discounts before the calendar turns. This week continues to bring impressive savings on sought-after tech and entertainment, from Google’s flagship smartphones to portable power and a huge selection of Nintendo Switch titles. If you’re looking to upgrade your gear or dive into new games, now is an opportune moment to act.
Google’s Pixel 10 phones have hit some of their lowest prices to date. Amazon is offering the standard Pixel 10 for $499, a $300 discount, when you apply the promo code PIXEL10. This matches its second-best price ever. For those seeking more advanced camera capabilities, the Pixel 10 Pro and the larger Pixel 10 Pro XL are also at record lows. With the same code, they drop to $649 ($350 off) and $799 ($400 off), respectively.
All three models feature the responsive Tensor G5 chip and support Qi2 wireless charging with integrated magnets. The standard Pixel 10 earned praise as a superb, no-fuss Android device with significant improvements, including a vibrant 6.3-inch OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and impressive peak brightness. A notable addition is a dedicated telephoto lens, a first for a non-Pro Pixel, which enhances portrait photography.
For truly exceptional photo quality, the Pro models are the way to go. The 6.3-inch Pixel 10 Pro and 6.8-inch Pro XL boast superior main and 48-megapixel ultrawide cameras. They also unlock advanced AI-powered features like Pro Res Zoom and a refined portrait mode. These versions come with more memory for seamless multitasking and even sharper displays.
Anker’s versatile Laptop Power Bank is back at its lowest price. You can find it for $87.99 at both Amazon and Walmart, which is a $47 saving. This 25,000mAh battery pack is a staff favorite for its convenience and power. It includes two built-in USB-C cables, one retractable and another that acts as a carrying handle, plus an additional USB-C port and a USB-A port. A handy LCD screen clearly displays remaining charge, output status, and temperature.
It’s powerful enough to charge a MacBook Pro and several other devices simultaneously, delivering up to 165W for two devices or 130W for three or four. Its 90Wh capacity also means it’s approved for carry-on luggage, making it an ideal travel companion.
The savings extend far beyond first-party Nintendo games. A wide array of celebrated third-party titles are also discounted. You can find major releases like Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition for $39.99 (down from $69.99) and acclaimed games such as Hades 2 for $22.49 and Hollow Knight: Silksong for $15.99. Most of these game deals are available through January 4th, so there’s still time to browse.
A few other standout offers are worth a look. Apple’s AirTags are seeing a rare price cut, making it more affordable to keep track of your belongings. Various travel essentials and last-minute gift ideas are also on sale, providing plenty of options for anyone looking to make a practical purchase or indulge in a little self-gifting before the new year begins.
