Google has just surpassed its previous Prime Day deal for the Pixel 10 Pro, and the Pixel 11 might shed some light on the reason.

      The 128GB Obsidian variant has been reduced to $699 as inventory begins to dwindle ahead of Google's upcoming phone launch.

      Google has lowered the price of the 128GB Pixel 10 Pro in Obsidian to $699, marking a $300 discount from its regular price and surpassing its previous Prime Day offer by an additional $50.

      However, there is a specific condition. The largest price cut applies exclusively to one color and one storage variant, while other unlocked Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL versions are discounted by $250.

      This sale concludes on July 26, just over two weeks prior to the anticipated announcement of the Pixel 11 on August 12. With certain Pixel 10 Pro models already selling out, Google may be trying to clear out inventory before the arrival of its next flagship.

      Reasons this deal surpasses Prime Day

      This represents the lowest official price for the Pixel 10 Pro to date, and Amazon is matching this offer. Those who missed out on Prime Day now have the chance to save an additional $50 on this same base model.

      With a price of $699, the Pixel 10 Pro becomes a much more appealing option compared to typical flagship phones. The limitation, however, lies in the storage capacity. While 128GB may suffice for many users, it might feel insufficient for those who store years' worth of photos, large games, or numerous downloaded videos on their devices.

      Opting for a different color or storage option eliminates part of the savings. While those configurations are still discounted, the reduction is only $250.

      Why Google may be clearing out stock

      The Porcelain color is already out of stock, and several storage options in other colors are not available. Google has not provided a reason for the additional discount being applied solely to the base Obsidian model.

      Having excess inventory makes sense so close to the anticipated Pixel 11 announcement. A targeted discount allows Google to sell off a specific configuration without lowering prices across its entire lineup.

      That remains an informed deduction. Customers can only witness the limited deal, diminishing availability, and an expiration date set right before Google's next phone event.

      Should you purchase before the Pixel 11 arrives

      This deal is most beneficial for individuals who already wanted the Pixel 10 Pro and can manage with 128GB of storage. Buyers of the Obsidian color are getting the best official price that Google has offered.

      However, delaying the purchase is a smarter choice if storage capacity is more important than saving an additional $50, or if you wish to evaluate what the Pixel 11 has to offer. The discounted model might sell out before July 26, but limited inventory shouldn't pressure you into settling for a configuration you may regret later.

      Buy for the value and the device, not because feeling a sense of urgency from a dwindling stock.

      A modem update could greatly enhance the Pixel 11 experience. If you've noticed your Pixel's signal strength dropping unexpectedly in a location where other phones work perfectly fine, you already understand Google's modem issue.

      New leaks about the Pixel 11 unveil colors, specifications, and a surprising accessory ahead of its launch.

      With the Pixel 11's official release just a month away, a new leak has provided a wealth of information. A series of placeholder listings that briefly appeared on Amazon seem to showcase the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold in various color options, along with essential specifications and a new accessory that could launch alongside the devices. Initially identified by 9to5Google, these listings are thought to be early drafts that went live prematurely.

      OnePlus is reportedly concluding its US operations soon, according to recent reports.

      Inventory is dwindling, and once it's gone, OnePlus stock will not be restocked. In recent months, multiple reports have suggested that OnePlus is planning to exit its US operations and leave the European market as well. OnePlus has consistently denied these reports, asserting that rumors of retail closures and executive changes are merely part of regular business operations and do not signify an operational shutdown in these key markets. Now, WinFuture reports that the company will officially announce its withdrawal from the European and US markets this week. "According to our reliable sources, OnePlus and its parent company, Oppo, plan to announce significant strategic changes this week. What may appear to be marketing hype is, in fact, the withdrawal from critical markets and the end of OnePlus as we know it," the report states. Additionally, it notes that all remaining inventory of OnePlus devices is being sold, and once it's
