Google is set to reveal its newest budget-friendly smartphone, the Pixel 10A, on February 18th, according to The Verge. The device is expected to maintain a similar design to its predecessor and offer storage options of 128GB and 256GB, continuing the trend of accessible AI-powered mobile technology.
This announcement comes as deals abound in the tech world. Wired reported that Best Buy is offering the previous generation Pixel 9a (128GB) for $399, a $100 discount, available in all four colors: Iris, Obsidian, Peony, and Porcelain.
Beyond smartphones, The Verge noted discounts on various iPad models at major retailers, including the base iPad, iPad Mini, iPad Air, and iPad Pro. Deal hunters are actively tracking these fluctuating prices, with potential savings on both the latest models and older generations as inventory dwindles. Furthermore, Best Buy is offering a 50% discount on the 14-inch, ARM-based Asus Vivobook 14, now priced at $379.99, according to The Verge. This laptop features a Snapdragon X CPU suitable for web browsing and casual content creation, though it may have limitations with system-intensive apps and native x86/x64 compatibility.
In other news, Fortune reported that Olympic medals have significantly increased in value due to soaring precious-metal prices. Since early 2025, gold prices have nearly doubled, rising from $2,800 to over $5,000 per ounce, an almost 80% jump over the past year, as investors seek a safe haven. Silver's price has also jumped sharply, trading at nearly $90 per ounce, a nearly 182% increase from about $32 a year earlier. Fortune noted that one U.S. gold medalist swimmer recently sold his medal for over $100,000.
