Best Buy was offering a 256GB Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold in Obsidian, listed as "excellent" condition open-box stock, for $1,480.99 shipped, when 9to5Google published its deals roundup on Thursday. That's close to $420 off the foldable's list price, and the outlet called deals on Google's newest fold-out phone hard to come by since launch.
Open-box simply means the unit was previously opened, possibly returned, and inspected by the retailer before resale. It typically still carries a warranty, but buyers should check Best Buy's specific terms before ordering.
The Pixel Watch 5 also saw price action across two retailers. Amazon had the 41mm LTE model with a Satin Pyrite case and Olive band down to $399.99, which 9to5Google noted as $100 off its $500 list price and the lowest the site has tracked on Amazon. The same configuration briefly hit that price in mid-September for about an hour before disappearing, so the outlet flagged that this listing could vanish just as fast.
Best Buy, separately, had a 41mm Pixel Watch 5 LTE in Polished Silver with a Fog band, also open-box and in "excellent" condition, at $349.99 shipped, a reported $150 off.
Elsewhere in the roundup, Lenovo's site had its 8GB/128GB Tab Plus Gen 2 down to $256.49 with the promo code EXTRAFIVE, undercutting a $400 list price by more than $143. Amazon had the 8GB/256GB version at $269.99, matching the lowest price 9to5Google has tracked for that storage tier. The Tab Plus Gen 2 pairs a 12.1-inch 2.5K 90Hz display with a nine-speaker JBL audio setup tuned for Dolby Atmos, runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chip, and carries a 10,200mAh battery with 45W charging support.
Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 also turned up in open-box form at Best Buy, with the base Graphite model listed at more than $400 off and a 512GB configuration down $580, on top of separate $200 discounts 9to5Google spotted on new units at Amazon and Samsung's own site.
Rounding out the list, Amazon had Ring's 2026 Doorbell 2K, in both wired and battery versions, priced at $44.99 each. That's 44% off the wired model's $80 list price and 55% off the battery model's $100 list price, matching the lowest prices 9to5Google has tracked outside of Prime Day sales. The outlet also flagged a $250 cut on Lenovo's 15.3-inch Chromebook Plus, down to $379 at Best Buy as part of a single-day Deals of the Day listing.
Retail pricing on open-box and promotional stock changes fast and varies by unit condition, so anyone chasing these numbers should confirm the current listing before checking out.
