  • $250 Off Pixel 10 Pro XL Deal

    $250 Off Pixel 10 Pro XL Deal

    Google’s current best phones, the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL, are both heavily discounted once again. You can find the Pixel 10 Pro for $200 off and the Pixel 10 Pro XL for $250 off.

    At those prices, you are looking at starting points of $799 for the smaller Pixel 10 Pro (128GB) and $949 for the Pixel 10 Pro XL (256GB). While not the biggest discounts we have ever seen, these are the regular price drops that Google and its retail partners rollout each month. Of course, select customers are getting $400 off deals this week, plus we’ve seen price drops as high as $300 off, but this $200-$250 promo happens often.

    You’ll find all colors and all storage variants at these fresh discounts, so if you had your eye on Moonstone, Jade, Obsidian, or Porcelain, you will get a low price. Even the 1TB Pixel 10 Pro XL model in Obsidian is $250 off.

  • Visible Swipes 50% Off Pixel 10 Pro With Year of Cheap Service

    Visible Swipes 50% Off Pixel 10 Pro With Year of Cheap Service

    The talk of the week might be the Galaxy S26 series, but I’d still argue the Pixel 10 series is the phone for most people. Google just gets software right, the cameras are excellent, and the designs aren’t stuck in 2023. Right now, you can get any of the Pixel 10 phones, including the Pixel 10 Pro Fold for 50% off through Visible.

    50% OFF PIXEL 10 SERIES: Visible, as most of you know, is a prepaid service that Verizon owns. They only offer a handful of plans without a bunch of extra stuff and have always had the prices for them in a really affordable position. For example, their top plan is Visible+ Pro and it’s $40 per month right now. The plan just below that, which is probably the one for most people, is only $30 per month.

    With that in mind, Visible has slashed the price of the Google Pixel 10 series by 50%, which would get you a Pixel 10 for $399, Pixel 10 Pro for $499, Pixel 10 Pro XL for $599, or a Pixel 10 Pro Fold for $899. These are crazy prices.

    What’s the catch and how do you get these from Visible for 50% off? For one, you just use code “GOOGLE” at checkout and the 50% comes off. But to get the deal, they are also requiring that you buy an annual plan. In other words, Visible asks that you pre-pay for a year of service and then you’ll get Google’s best phones for 50% off.

    Pricing there would be the bottom tier Visible plan for $275, Visible+ plan for $375, or the Visible+ Pro for $450. And again, that’s a yearly price, so you’d pay that today and then not pay for your wireless service for another year. If you want to see the value in purchasing for a year, the pricing breaks down to $23/mo, $31/mo, and $37.50 per month for each of those plans. That’s super cheap.

    What else should you know about Visible? Like I said above, Verizon owns Visible, so you get access to Verizon’s network. All of their plans get unlimited data, but the Visible+ and Visible+ Pro plans get 5G Ultra Wideband network access too. You can use hotspot with all plans, plus there are various levels of international usage, including unlimited talk and text to Canada and Mexico.

    I recently made the switch to Visible on a personal Verizon line and then convinced all of my parents to do the same to save them a ton of money each year. Honestly, I don’t know why everyone isn’t switching to prepaid carriers like this.

  • There is a Free Double Storage Galaxy S26 Ultra Deal, Plus You Get a $200 Gift Card

    There is a Free Double Storage Galaxy S26 Ultra Deal, Plus You Get a $200 Gift Card

    Samsung is going softer than usual with its Galaxy S26 launch deals and it’s kind of bumming me out. Where’s the double storage? Where’s the bonus credits to get accessories with your new phone? I don’t know, man, but they haven’t pushed any of that yet. Thankfully, Amazon is! They are currently running the best Galaxy S26 Ultra deal for those willing to pay full retail.

    The Galaxy S26 Ultra, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 are all getting free double storage upgrades, plus you get a gift card bonus up to $200 if you pre-order.

    Breaking that down some, you’ll get a Galaxy S26 Ultra with 512GB storage for the same price as the 256GB model ($1,299). That’s a $400 discount right there, but you also get a $200 Amazon gift card to spend on whatever. The Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 are seeing very similar promos, just with a smaller gift card.

    • Galaxy S26 Ultra: Free upgrade to 512GB model ($1,299 – $400 savings) + $200 Amazon gift card
    • Galaxy S26+: Free upgrade to 512GB model ($1,099 – $300 savings) + $100 Amazon gift card
    • Galaxy S26: Free upgrade to 512GB model ($899 – $300 savings) + $100 Amazon gift card

    If you were planning to pay full retail for a new Galaxy S26 phone, this is the best deal you’ll find. Again, I don’t know why Samsung isn’t doing this deal like they have for so many years in a row, but leave to Amazon to come correct.

    Pre-order link below – shipping is expected by March 11.

  • Samsung Quickly Smacking $700 Off Galaxy S26+

    Samsung Quickly Smacking $700 Off Galaxy S26+

    With the dust settled from yesterday’s Unpacked event, we’re still looking for the best Galaxy S26 deals to be had. We know about the Galaxy S26 Ultra and the smaller Galaxy S26, but what about the Galaxy S26+? The same situation basically applies for this phone, and yes, you’ll need a trade-in to save the most.

    $700 OFF GALAXY S26+: As is the case with all of Samsung’s top Galaxy S26 deals, telling them you have a semi-new phone to trade is going to get you that big instant discount. For the Galaxy S26+, the top discount is $700 off, which would bring your starting price to just $399.

    How do you get $700 off? Samsung would love for you to give up your Galaxy S25 Edge, Galaxy S25+, or Galaxy S25 Ultra. Look, I wouldn’t give up last year’s Ultra for this year’s Plus, so don’t do that. But giving up last year’s Plus could be worth it. Definitely ditch that S25 Edge.

    We also have a number of phones at $600 off, like the Fold 6, S25, S24 Ultra, and S24+. From there, you get into the $500 and $400 off range, which you can see at Samsung’s site here.

    As a reminder, when you trade-in a phone to Samsung, they give you the value of that phone as a discount today. If you have a $700 phone to trade, they give you a $700 discount right now. That means you only pay $399 today for the Galaxy S26+. Once your new phone arrives, then they ask you to send in your trade-in to confirm you were telling the truth.

    For now, that is Samsung’s best offer. I’m not sure why they aren’t giving you free double storage like they have in the past. Something feels off about this launch. It’s as if Samsung is purposely holding back to test the waters on how big their launch promos need to be. Look, Samsung, just keep going big. You are making plenty of money.

  • Samsung Quickly Slaps $500 Off Galaxy S26

    Samsung Quickly Slaps $500 Off Galaxy S26

    The best Galaxy S26 deal is a quick $500 off from Samsung, thanks to a wide range of trade-in devices worth that much.

    Buying a Galaxy S26 phone on launch day (or within the first week) often leads to the best price because that’s when Samsung will give you the most in a trade-in for your old device. With the launch of the Galaxy S26 series today, that’s most certainly the case, especially with the regular Galaxy S26.

    As the smallest of the Galaxy S26 devices, this phone always tempts me because it’s such a one-handed device that borders on being “small” and has also slowly been given equal specs to the Plus model. Gone are the days where you bought the smallest Galaxy S and Samsung left you with less RAM, for example. We now have 12GB RAM and a minimum 256GB storage, decent sized 4300mAh battery, 120Hz display, and everything else from the Plus model.

    EASY $500 OFF GALAXY S26: The Galaxy S26 now starts at $899 because Samsung has ditched 128GB storage and is only giving you options of 256GB or 512GB. Thanks to the trade-ins I mentioned earlier, you can easily swipe $500 off and drop that price to $399. And again, that’s an instant trade-in discount that comes off the price you pay today.

    Samsung will give you $500 off if you give them phones like a Galaxy Z Fold 6, S25 Edge, S25, S24 Ultra, or Fold 5. The list of $400 off devices is practically as long, with the S24+, S24, and Flip 6 all worth that price. If you still aren’t finding your device, then there is a good chance you’ll at least get $300 off. Devices as old as the Galaxy S23 are worth that much. You should check your trade-in discount here.

    Recapping, you are simply telling Samsung what your old phone is and then getting up to $500 off instantly. I’d probably take a Galaxy S26 for $399.

    PRE-ORDER SAMSUNG GALAXY S26

  • Samsung’s Best Galaxy S26 Ultra Pre-Order Deal

    Samsung’s Best Galaxy S26 Ultra Pre-Order Deal

    GALAXY S26 ULTRA PRE-ORDER DEALS LIVE

    Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series and the Galaxy S26 Ultra are official and pre-orders are live. We tried to prepare you for this moment with some predictions on the best pre-order deals and those deals are available. If you want to be one of the first to buy a Galaxy S26 Ultra, that time has come, and we’re here to save you money.

    The best Galaxy S26 Ultra pre-order deal is going to be direct from Samsung. The deal is up to $900 off instantly with eligible trade-in. If you don’t have a trade-in, you won’t get a discount, but they will give you $150 in credit to spend on other goods.

    PRE-ORDER Galaxy S26 Ultra – save $900

    Breaking that down a bit, the Galaxy S26 Ultra starts at $1,299, so a $900 off discount would drop your price to just $399 for a device that will last you years and years, thanks to Samsung’s incredible software policy. You also get that discount immediately today, because Samsung still accepts trade-ins with an estimation process that gets you a discount at checkout, with only a request to confirm your trade-in by sending the device in later. It’s the best trade-in program in the business that Google finally copied this year.

    The top trade-in phones are the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy S25 Ultra at the full $900 off. The Galaxy S24 Ultra fetches $800, while the Galaxy S25 Edge and Galaxy S25+ both get you $700 off. From there, we have $650 for the Galaxy S23 Ultra, followed by a ton of phones at $600 off (Galaxy Z Flip 6, S25, S24+, Fold 5, and more.)

    Original post – The Galaxy S26 Ultra launch is hours away and we’ll then know all of the official specs, features, and reasons to buy one. More importantly, we’ll know the best Galaxy S26 Ultra deal that’ll get you the biggest savings and more.

    In previous Galaxy S launches, the pre-order period is the best moment to save the most and get extra bonuses. Things like high trade-in values, free double storage add-ons, and extra Samsung credit to get accessories for cheap, all have made the first couple of weeks the time to buy. For example, the Galaxy S25 Ultra saw $900 trades, free double storage promos, and a bonus $50 credit to spend.

    • UPDATE FEBRUARY 25: PRE-ORDERS SHOULD GO LIVE IN A FEW HOURS. WE’LL HAVE ALL OF THE LINKS AND DEALS FOR YOU AT THAT TIME.

    Best Galaxy S26 Ultra pre-order deals

    For the Galaxy S26 Ultra, the pre-order details are still a mystery, but Samsung is already telling us some of what we should expect. For now, we know that there will be a bonus $30 credit during pre-order with up to $900 in additional savings. They told us those numbers as a part of the unveiling of the Samsung Unpacked event date. What does that all breakdown to be? We’ll take a couple of guesses.

    • Pre-order deal 1: That $900 in Galaxy S26 Ultra savings could be a straight-up $900 off discount with trade-ins, but I kind of doubt it. Samsung has been lowering trade-ins for the last year or so, so we don’t expect them to be that high for this launch. I’d bet we’ll get $700 or so off from top trade-ins, with a storage upgrade at $120 in value, plus $80 in credit to save on accessories, like cases or a Galaxy Watch 8.
    • Pre-order deal 2: I also wouldn’t be surprised at $750 off from trades, $120 in storage upgrades, and then $30 in Samsung credit too. You see how this works.

    To get the high trade-in values, you are almost guaranteed to have to trade a Galaxy S25 Ultra or Galaxy Z Fold 7. During pre-orders, Samsung does like to expand the list of phones with high values, so you may still come close to top trade-ins with a Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy Z Fold 6. After those devices, trade-in values typically fall pretty quickly, however.

    When do Galaxy S26 Ultra pre-orders launch?

    All that is official surrounding the Galaxy S26 Ultra at the moment is Samsung Unpacked happening on February 25 at 10AM Pacific (1PM Eastern). Samsung will take a stage and tell us everything from pricing to specs to AI features and more. Once that Unpacked event kicks off, we are likely to see pre-order deals go live immediately.

    In past years, Samsung has opened Unpacked to try and grab your attention, but they almost always post the new devices at that same time or within minutes of it. So if you want to get in a Galaxy S26 Ultra pre-order the quickest, be ready at around 10AM Pacific on February 25.

    Stay tuned as the pre-order details go official. We’ll share them here.

  • Google’s Best Pixel 10a Pre-Order Deal

    Google’s Best Pixel 10a Pre-Order Deal

    The Pixel 10a launch day is finally here and we now know (from Google) all of the official specs, features, and whether or not they actually upgraded anything over the Pixel 9a (they barely did). With this all official, we know about launch promos and pre-order deals that might get you a Pixel 10a for a discount.

    For most Google A-series launches, they don’t typically offer a discount on the device unless you have something to trade-in. Instead, Google and its retail partners almost always do a bonus credit or gift card with purchase rather than a price drop. However, for this launch, Google was sending out discount codes for those who signed-up to be notified of the launch.

    Best Pixel 10a pre-order deals

    For the Pixel 10a launch, which is happening on February 18, you’ll find it up for pre-order at the Google Store, Best Buy, and Amazon. As expected all of the retailers (and Google) are offering up to $100 credit if you pre-order. That means $100 in Google Store credit or $100 in Amazon or Best Buy gift cards.

    • Pre-order deal 1: The Pixel 10a carries the same price as the Pixel 9a, so that means $499 for a device with 128GB storage. For this first pre-order deal, you would pay $499 and then receive a $100 credit to the Google Store or a gift card to Amazon or Best Buy.
    • Pre-order deal 2: If for some reason you do not want $100 in credit, Google and Amazon will let you get a free pair of Pixel Buds 2a instead. You’ll see the options when you head to either retailer.
    • Pre-order deal 3: If you signed up for information on the Pixel 10a launch, Google sent coupon codes to select customers up to $150 off. The time has passed for you to have received those coupons, so be sure to check your inboxes and spam folders for those. We’ve seen anywhere from $50 to $100 and $150 off. Getting a Pixel 10a at $150 off would drop it to $349, which is a really great deal.

    When do Pixel 10a pre-orders launch?

    Google has already confirmed through the Google Store that Pixel 10a pre-orders will go live on February 18 and ship March 5. If you are reading this post, then you can pre-order a Pixel 10a in Obsidian, Lavender, Berry, and Fog. We’ll also have a review up in the near future, should you be looking for more info.

    UPDATED FEBRUARY 18 – THE PHONE HAS NOW LAUNCHED, SO ALL PRE-ORDER INFO IS OFFICIAL.

  • Google Surprises With Day Early $100 Off Pixel 10a Codes

    Google Surprises With Day Early $100 Off Pixel 10a Codes

    The Pixel A-Series hasn’t typically found big discounts when it launches, mostly because Google prices it so reasonably out of the gate that they likely don’t want to shrink the already-small margins on it. If anything, we see Google and its retail partners sell the phone and then include something like a $100 gift card or store credit to enhance the purchase. For some Pixel fans, there may be a true deal in-store when the new Pixel 10a launches tomorrow.

    According to a number of reddit users, Google has begun sending launch day coupons or codes for the Pixel 10a that are anywhere from $50 to $100 off. With a rumored starting price of $499, a $100 off code could help you pay as little as $399.

    Several people have posted that they received $100 off codes with an included message saying something along the lines of, “Ready for tomorrow? Your Google Pixel 10a coupon is inside.” This could be from signing-up on the Google Store teaser for the 10a or because they own an older Pixel that Google thinks should be left behind.

    Remember, Google did open up a sign-up page for news about the Pixel 10a earlier in the month, telling us that February 18 was pre-order day.

    We’re keeping track of the best Pixel 10a pre-order deals. We’ll make sure we update it if there’s a chance you can score a discount tomorrow.
