Amazon has once again put the entry level Google Pixelbook on sale to kick off July.  Right now you can pick up the Intel i5 equipped Chromebook with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage for $830 at the online retailer.  That’s a savings of $169 off the regular price for the premier Chromebook on the market.

The sale at Amazon also extends to the middle and higher end models of the Pixelbook too.  For $1057 you can pick up the i5 equipped Pixelbook with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.  That is a savings of $142 off the regular price.  For the ultimate Pixelbook experience, you can pick up the Intel i7 model with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage for $1499.  That’s a savings of $150.

Today over at Amazon, the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact is down to $359, the lowest price the 4.6″ phone has seen and some $240 off its launch price of $599.  The XZ1 Compact was released last year by Sony and is a solid option for those who are looking for an Android Oreo powered device that has a small form factor.

To this point, the lowest price had been $399 which was back in March.  At $399, it is a great value for what you are getting in a phone.  At another $40 off, it is something to seriously consider.

Huawei has lowered the price of the Huawei Mate 10 Pro for the next couple of weeks and now is the time to seriously consider it.  Normally the 6″ phablet is $799 now through June 30th you can pick one up on Amazon for just $549.  And this isn’t a stripped down version either.  It has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of built-in storage.  The $549 price represents the lowest price by far that has been available on the Mate 10 Pro here in the US.

I reviewed the Huawei Mate 10 Pro earlier this year and as I put in that review, it is one of the best phones out there right now.  Huawei has done a fantastic job with the overall design of the phone and the Android Oreo built EMUI 8 user experience is excellent.

First, the good news.  The entry level Nokia 3.1, as promised by Nokia when it was announced last month, is available in the United States.  It sells for $159 and is available from Amazon.  Now the bad news:  It’s sold out.

Obviously the fact that the phone has sold out is great news for Nokia but for those who were wanting to get their hands on the budget friendly 5.2″ phone powered by Android One, you are going to have to wait a while.

Over the weekend I posted about the special pricing running on the Google Pixelbook.  Now that special pricing has been extended on Amazon.  The online retailer now has the Pixelbook at the same $749 price you will find at the Google Store, B&H and other retailers.

The discounted price also applies to the Pixelbook with the Pixelbook Pen bundle too.  Right now that bundle is down to $831, which is $68 less than the best price on the Pixelbook only prior to this mark down from Google.

The solid mid-range phone from Sony, the Sony Xperia XA1, is now on sale at Amazon for a pretty stunning price.  Right now you can pick up the XA1 in black for just $180.  That is a savings of $119 off the normal $299 price, or 40% off depending on how you want to look at it.  The best part is, this is the US warranty backed variant of the phone, not the International version that often goes on sale at Amazon.

The Sony Xperia XA1 made its debut in May of last year and earlier this year it, along with most of the rest of the Sony 2017 phone lineup, was updated to Android Oreo.  Sony, for their part, does a pretty solid job of getting updates out to their various phones.
