The Pixel 10 Pro Fold and the Pixel Buds 2a, both of which were originally unveiled back on August 20, are now finally available for purchase. The timing means that Google missed Amazon’s big sales event, so the offers right now are pretty limited.
To entice you to upgrade to the new foldable, the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold comes with a €300 bonus for trade-ins and that’s it. The phone measures 10.8mm when closed and weighs 258g, which is fairly high for a 2025 foldable. The Tensor G5 also fails to impress. It has a 48MP main camera, 10.8MP 5x/112mm telephoto and 10.5MP ultra-wide cameras. The 5,015mAh battery supports relatively slow 30W wired and 15W wireless charging.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 has a hefty discount of almost €700, making it much cheaper than its Pixel rival. Even better, it comes with a free tablet. The Galaxy fits in the pocket more easily since it measures 8.9mm when folded and weighs just 215g. That’s less than the S25 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro Max! It packs a 200MP main, 10MP 3x/67mm telephoto camera and a 12MP ultra-wide. The Snapdragon 8 Elite is great, the 4,400mAh battery with 25W wired and 15W wireless charging isn’t.
By the way, a lot of Galaxy phones come with a free tablet – the two Z Flip7 foldables and all of the Galaxy S25 series. You can find more details on the offer and how to claim the tablet here.
Note that most of the phones above paired with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE (Wi-Fi, 128GB), a capable mid-range slate with a 10.9” 90Hz IPS LCD, an Exynos 1580 chipset and an 8,000mAh battery. The tablet is rated IP68 for dust and water resistance. The USB-C port is only v2.0.
The two phones below, the vanilla Galaxy S25 and the S25 FE, only get the Samsung Galaxy Tab A11 (Wi-Fi, 64GB). This is an entry-level tablet with an 8.7” 90Hz LCD, a Helio G99 chipset and a small 5,100mAh battery with only 15W charging.
This week also saw the arrival of the Pixel Buds 2a, Google’s latest affordable TWS buds. These have active noise cancellation (ANC) and basic spatial audio. They can last up to 7h on a charge and total listening time is up to 20h with the case.
The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 have a more advanced noise-fighting design with Silent Seal 2.0 and have head tracking for the spatial audio. They can last up to 8h with ANC enabled before you have to put them back in the case.
Alternatively, you can grab Samsung’s Galaxy Buds3 Pro with stems and Blade Lights. They can last up to 6h with ANC enabled and up to 26h with the charging case.
Neither Google nor Samsung make over-ear headphones. Meanwhile, the CMF Headphone Pro arrived at the office earlier this week and our first impressions are great – these have good build quality, impressive ANC for the class and all physical controls. You can also buy replaceable ear cushions in three colors to customize their look.
We also received the CMF Watch 3 Pro for review. This basic smartwatch has a large 1.43” OLED display and a rotating crown. One neat feature is that double-pressing the crown starts an audio recorder – these voice notes will be synced to your Nothing phone.
