Honestly, I've found the best way to handle these big upgrades is through the Google Store trade-in program. Last time I switched, they gave me an insane amount for my old device compared to what I could get on the used market. Since I tend to keep my phones for at least three years, that initial trade-in credit makes the long-term cost way more manageable. Quick tips for you:

• Check your Google One account for a 10% back in store credit offer before buying.
• Definitely pick up a Spigen Tough Armor for Google Pixel 10 Pro XL to keep it looking new for resale later on. Trading in is usually way less of a headache than hunting for random coupons tho...

Just keep checking deals at Amazon,

Forget the Pixel. Android Auto shines on my Pioneer unit. Paid $650, no regrets.

Haven't seen Pixel 10 deals yet, but consider Samsung's S24. Similar specs, often discounted more aggressively. Market research suggests Samsung usually has better Black Friday promotions. Depends if pure Android is a must-have; the S24's One UI is decent these days. Check historical price data to see if $800 is realistic for either.

Waiting for Black Friday 2025.
