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 … Continued Read the original post: Google Surprises With Day Early $100 Off Pixel 10a...

How to AirDrop on Android With a Pixel 10 or Pixel 9

We’re still processing the fact that Google randomly announced that it had figured out a solution to AirDrop to and from Pixel 10 and Pixel 9 phones with all of Apple’s devices, including the iPhone, iPad, and Mac computers.

Here’s a Pixel Watch 3 for Only $170

While I would recommend Google’s newest Pixel Watch 4 for most people looking at smartwatches on the Android side of things, there are still price drops big enough to look at the previous model.
