Google is set to unveil its newest smartphone range, the Pixel 10. Launching at its Made By Good event on August 20, the phones will be unveiled at 6pm UK time. Expected to come packed with a host of new feature updates, another boost to its AI functions, and potentially new cameras, but a new deal proves shoppers don't have to go for a flagship model.

Amazon has cut a huge £350 off last years Google Pixel 9 Pro device, as the interest around the flagship Pixel 10 soars shoppers can now make a huge saving on last years model. Today's newest launch is a step up from its predecessor siblings; the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro devices.

The Pixel 9 Pro is still supported by Google - and will be up to 2031, Thich means users will be able to download the latest software, they also have great cameras, and quality screens. As the price drops to a much cheaper £649 instead of £999.

Making it a great option for shoppers who are not fussed about having the latest and greatest device. It's rare to find such a huge discount on the device, and in line with consumer trends often followed by Apple and Samsung too, last year's devices are now hundreds cheaper.

Save £350 on the Google Pixel 9 Pro

On the same day Google announces is newest Pixel 10 device, Amazon has cut hundreds off the Pixel 9 Pro phone - temping shoppers.

There's currently lots of places where Google shoppers can find discounts on the Pixel 9 Pro. The biggest, and one we've flagged first, is Amazon's £350 discount. Next up is Sky, and its option for pay-as-you-go shoppers - priced at £23 a month and with a £12 upfront fee.

Over at Argos, and the price is also £649. There's also a budget option with the Pixel 9a device, which is currently £399, this doesn't have all the qualities as the usual Pixel range and has been designed as a 'watered down version' to match the cheaper cost.

Back to the Pixel 9 Pro and one of it's standout features is the camera. It has a triple rear system, allowing users to get focused close ups, sharp selfies, and rich colours. This happens to be a feature which won over our team member, Tom Capon, as he bought the device for himself.

Having used it for a few weeks to date, Tom says the camera 'is insane', as he explained: "The camera is all you need to worry about here. The camera is, in fact, insane - so much so that I need to reconsider my own skincare routine.

"Everything from filming my gym routine to taking a photo of my cat is enhanced to such a degree that it's now my favourite function on the phone. What's more, the self-facing camera is still leagues ahead of the 7 or any other phone I've used.

"It's really night and day - if you take photos on your phone, for me, the Pixel 9 Pro is the absolute top of its game." Tom was previously an avid iPhone user but swapped to Android devices six years ago and swapped to the Pixel when 'he heard good things' about the durability.

He continued: "I opted for the Pixel 9 Pro as I needed a sharper camera and something to keep up with the most recent software updates. However, I ended up staying for all the bells and whistles.

"Smartphones are hard to upgrade as there's only so much convenience you can get in one machine. But this bad boy came packed with adaptive battery (which switches over to power saving mode when I stream YouTube videos for hours at a time) and adjustable bedtime settings to make sure I'm not exploding blue light into my retinas just before bedtime."

One feature which he hasn't been 'blown away by' however, is the battery, as he says it's not been revolutionary like other models, as he streams a lot of audiobooks and podcasts which hits the length. However, if these are ditched, he says the phone does "easily last all day and night without a charge."
