A new sleek Android phone has been released with features that surpass Google's Pixel, highlighting advancements in hardware and user experience.

The Google Pixel 10, considered the best Android phone, is currently available at Amazon for $449, a 50% discount using promo code PIXEL10, making it an excellent deal for a feature-rich smartphone with a 6.3-inch OLED display, AI tools, and Qi2 wireless charging.

The Trump phone, a gold mid-range Android device announced in June with a promised August/September launch, has yet to be released, and the company has gone silent, leading to speculation that it may never come out.

The Pixel 10 Pro and XL are solid, well-rounded Android phones with impressive AI features, good cameras, and a sleek design, but they lack the raw power of competitors like Samsung and Apple, making them ideal for users seeking a reliable, versatile device rather than the absolute best in any single category.

The Pixel 10 Pro XL impresses with its vibrant display, capable camera, and new AI features, offering a solid overall experience with good gaming performance and reasonable battery life, though some AI tools show bias and the hardware upgrades are minimal for existing Pixel owners.

The Google Pixel 9A, a midrange Android phone known for its good balance of features and value, is currently available at a record low price of $399 (down from $499) at Amazon, Best Buy, and the Google Store, offering features like a 6.3-inch OLED display, IP68 rating, wireless charging, and a 5,100mAh battery, with Google promising seven years of software updates, though it lacks some features of higher-end Pixel models.

The Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra is a big, heavy Android phone with a $899 price tag, offering a 6.78-inch OLED display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, 12GB of memory, and 256GB of storage. While it boasts a massive 5,500mAh battery and impressive camera stabilization, its design, network support, and camera performance are not outstanding compared to other big Android phones like the Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus and OnePlus 12. The Zenfone 11 Ultra's lack of clear standout features makes it just another big phone in a crowded market.

The Poco X6 Pro, priced at around $375 USD, surprises with its features, including a 1.5K AMOLED display, MediaTek Dimensity 8300 processor, 67W fast charging, and easier bloatware deletion. Its display offers crisp visuals and a 120Hz refresh rate, while the processor delivers impressive performance for gaming and everyday tasks. However, availability is limited to Europe, and it lacks support for most U.S. carriers.

The Google Pixel 7 Pro is currently available at an incredible $460 price drop on Amazon, making it the best price ever seen for the Android phone. This deal is for the base 128GB model and is even cheaper than the previous lowest Amazon price. Similar discounts have been seen recently on the Samsung Galaxy S23. Given the significant price reduction, the Pixel 7 Pro is expected to be highly popular. Check the availability of the deal, as it may not last long.

Best Buy is offering a discount of $270 on the Pixel 7 Pro, last year's top Android phone, with the 128GB model priced at $629 and the 256GB model at $699. The Pixel 7 Pro boasts a great camera, impressive hardware design, and regular software updates, making it a worthwhile purchase. Best Buy also accepts trade-ins, making the deal even more appealing.

OnePlus has confirmed that the OnePlus Open foldable phone is compatible with the Oppo Pen stylus, allowing users to enjoy stylus input on both the main display and the outer screen. However, the OnePlus Stylo designed for the OnePlus Pad does not work with the OnePlus Open. While the availability of compatible stylus pens is limited, users can import the Oppo Pen Stylus for Find N2 and N3. OnePlus has not announced any plans to launch its own stylus for the OnePlus Open.

YouTubers attempted to connect an iPhone 15 to an Android phone using a USB-C cable. The Android phone immediately started charging upon connection, while the iPhone 15 began charging after being reconnected. However, file transfers between the two devices did not work. The experiment highlights the potential capabilities of the iPhone 15's USB-C port, which allows for connections with various devices, including Macs, iPads, and external storage devices.

Cricket Wireless has launched the Cricket Magic 5G, a budget Android phone priced under $200. The device features a 6.6-inch HD+ display, a 2.2GHz octa-core processor, 64GB of internal memory, and a 4,000mAh battery. It has a two-camera setup at the back (13MP + 2MP) and a 5MP front camera. Other features include mobile hotspot capability, Wi-Fi calling, USB-C port, Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, rear fingerprint sensor, and face unlock. The Cricket Magic 5G is available in Gray Plaid and comes with Android 13 onboard and a two-year warranty.

Pre-orders for the Asus Zenfone 10, a small-sized Android phone with impressive specs, have gone live in the US with prices starting at $699. The phone features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, up to 512GB storage, 16GB RAM, a 5.92" full HD AMOLED display, IP68 water and dust resistance, a 4300mAh battery with 30W wired and wireless charging, a clean version of Android 13, and a dual camera setup. It is compatible with T-Mobile and AT&T networks but not CDMA networks.

US company Raz Mobility has released the SmartVision 3, an Android phone specifically designed for visually impaired users. It features a T9 keypad, physical navigation keys, and a dedicated Google Assistant button. The phone also offers wireless charging, a 3.5mm port, microSD card expansion, and various vision tools. Priced at $539, it provides a unique proposition for those seeking a keypad-toting phone with specific enhancements for the visually impaired. However, users are advised to explore built-in accessibility features on other Android phones before making a purchase.
