Ahead of the Black Friday rush, Google is preparing its latest offer for US customers. There’s certainly a lot of value for money to be found for those looking to pick up a Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL or Pixel 10 Pro Fold during the commerce-driven week, but there’s a lack of special in the latest offer.
The Pixel 10 Pro Black Friday Discounts
Google is offering discounts of up to $300 across the Pixel 10 family. The flagship Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL will receive $300 off the list price, the Pixel 10 will receive $200 off, and the Pixel 9a $100. This echoes Black Friday offers around the world; for example, Google’s UK Store is offering Pixel discounts up to £200 ($263) on the other side of the Atlantic.
What many will take note of is that the currently announced Black Friday discounts are the same discounts offered for the Pixel 10 range during October.
The Pixel 10 Pro And Gemini AI
Neither are there any additional offers in terms of Google’s AI features. A twelve-month subscription to Google AI Pro is bundled with each new Pixel 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL and 10 Pro Fold. Pixel 10 customers receive six months. The Google AI Pro service not only provides access to Google’s more powerful AI models but also offers additional online storage, Gemini features in Google Docs and Google Sheets, Google Home premium features, and Fitbit Premium services.
Ensuring that mobile AI features, in general, and Gemini, more specifically, are embedded in daily life will go a long way toward establishing Google’s implementation of AI in Android as the dominant method of delivering AI. It is in proximity to other Android manufacturing partners, but it employs a more cloud-based approach than its rival, Apple.
Getting AI into as many users’ workflows as possible is key, so the inclusion of Google AI Pro is vital for Google. There’s value for customers too, but they will still need to be drawn into the more proactive AI features of the handsets.
The Pixel 10 Pro And Black Friday Expectations
Google is meeting Black Friday expectations with these Pixel deals. Anyone who has waited until now will be pleasantly surprised to find discounts that can add up to nearly $800. By keeping the deal at a similar level to October, Google is also ensuring that it will not leave a bad taste in the mouth of anyone who took up a similar deal in October.
Black Friday is one week in the year, and while there will be an emphasis on what can be offered during this short time, Google appears to be taking a pragmatic approach. While there may be a surprise in store on November 20th when the deals go live, these deals are designed to run for many more Fridays than just Black Friday.
