The Pixel 10 offers unbeatable value at $250 off its regular price tag

I’m a big fan of Google’s tenth-generation Pixel smartphone, which, at $800, carefully balances a flagship experience without breaking the bank in the process. Now, for a limited time only on Mint Mobile in the US, the carrier is offering the base-level Pixel 10 for $550 — a discounted price of $250.

This Mint Mobile deal is actually a bundled offering, available alongside its Unlimited plan for a period of twelve months. To sweeten the deal, the plan is currently 50% off for this year-long period, which equates to a pretty substantial savings in the medium-to-long-term.

Reading the fine print over on Mint Mobile’s website, it looks like this Pixel 10 offer is limited to two units per order, and that data packages are available in 5GB, 15GB, 20GB, and unlimited varieties. There’s also an option to trade in your previous phone for additional savings, with a portal to check eligibility via Allstate verification.

The Pixel 10 is Android at its most refined

Google has nearly perfected the slab-style smartphone form factor

There’s a lot to love about Google’s base-level Pixel flagship for 2025. The handset is well-built, with a confident design language, a camera protrusion that doesn’t wobble when placed on a table, and an assortment of colorways to choose from.

The Pixel 10’s Tensor G5 processor is somewhat of a weak point, not measuring up to competing solutions on the market from a raw computational standpoint, but the device does offer best-in-class artificial intelligence features like Magic Cue, Add Me, and tight Gemini chatbot integration.

…the device is well-refined and undoubtedly one of the best handsets currently on the market.

Of course, this being a Pixel phone, the 10 also ships with a killer camera setup, with three focal lengths to choose from (wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto), and fancy computational photography algorithms working in the background to optimize visual acuity.

The Pixel 10 might not be flashy in today’s day and age of folding mobile gadgets, but, as far as slab-style smartphones go, the device is well-refined and undoubtedly one of the best Android handsets currently on the market.
