If you’re taking it easy during the slow week between Christmas and New Year, now’s a good time to catch up on deals you may have missed. Many of our favorite sales from last week are still in, making this an especially good moment to shop. Whether you’re eyeing a new phone, getting ready to travel, or just looking to treat yourself before the year is out, we’re seeing notable price drops on Google’s Pixel 10 lineup, AirTags, and a wide range of Nintendo Switch games, along with a few other Verge-approved picks worth grabbing now. Here are the best deals worth checking out before the end of the year.

Google Pixel 10 phones They’re among the best Android phones you can buy, and this week they dropped to some of their lowest prices yet. Amazon is selling the Pixel 10 for $499 ($300 off) with promo code PIXEL10, marking its second-best price yet. If you want better cameras, Amazon is also offering record low prices on the 6.8-inch Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL, down to $649 ($350 off) and $799 ($400 off), respectively, with the same code.

All three phones support Qi2 wireless charging using built-in magnets and run on Google’s fast Tensor G5 chip. In its review, Edge Allison Johnson described the Pixel 10 as a great basic Android phone with meaningful upgrades, including a bright 6.3-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness. It also adds a dedicated telephoto lens – a first for non-Pro Pixels – which makes a noticeable difference in portraits.

If you’re aiming for great (and not just good) photos, the 6.3-inch Pixel 10 Pro or 6.8-inch Pro XL are better choices. Both offer improved main and 48MP ultra-wide cameras, and additional AI-powered features like Pro Res Zoom and an upgraded portrait mode. They also come with extra memory for smoother multitasking as well as sharper displays.
