Amazon has revived discontinued flagship models in this week's mobile deals, offering substantial savings on last-generation devices that still deliver competitive performance. The standout offer is the OnePlus 13, recently restocked in limited quantities, now available at $700 - a $200 discount from its original launch price. This 12GB RAM/256GB storage model features Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, outperforming even the newer Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 found in mid-range 2026 models. Its display remains exceptional with a 1440p+ LTPO panel offering superior clarity and refresh rate control compared to current mid-tier alternatives.

The camera system presents another advantage over newer budget flagships, featuring triple 50MP sensors including a 3x optical zoom periscope lens - a component omitted from the newer OnePlus 15R. Charging capabilities remain robust with 80W wired and 50W wireless support. The trade-off comes in battery capacity: its 6,000mAh battery delivers 15 hours 28 minutes in standardized testing, significantly less than the OnePlus 15R's 7,400mAh unit that achieves 21+ hours.

Speaking of the OnePlus 15R ($700), it makes notable compromises including a lower-resolution 1272p+ LTPS display and absence of telephoto capabilities, though its battery performance sets new standards. The flagship OnePlus 15 ($900-$1000) improves further with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and record-breaking 23-hour battery life, though display quality comparisons with the 13 prove complex as detailed in our in-depth comparison.

Google's Pixel 10 Pro series also sees significant discounts. The Pixel 10 Pro XL ($950) features Google's Tensor G5 chipset that trails Snapdragon in raw performance but delivers excellent computational photography via its 50MP main sensor, 48MP periscope (5x/113mm), and 48MP ultra-wide configuration. The standard Pixel 10 Pro ($900) shares identical camera hardware in a more compact 6.3-inch form factor with nearly identical battery life despite its smaller 4,870mAh capacity. Both models introduced magnetic Qi2 wireless charging, compatible with Google's Pixelsnap Case that enhances magnetic attachment strength.

Potential Pixel buyers should note Google's upcoming February 18 event where the Pixel 10a is expected, making the discounted Pixel 9a ($400) less compelling despite its $100 discount. For accessory deals, Nothing Ear (a) buds offer impressive ANC and LDAC support at $59 ($50 off), while CMF Buds Pro 2 provide similar features plus physical controls at $47. Power users might appreciate Anker's Nano 45W charger ($30) with its unique display showing real-time charging metrics and temperature-controlled 'Care Mode'.

These deals highlight how previous-generation flagships can offer superior display quality, camera versatility, and processing power compared to new mid-range devices, though battery technology continues evolving rapidly. Ecosystem considerations remain important - particularly Google's computational photography advantages versus OnePlus's faster charging ecosystem - making these discounts excellent opportunities for value-focused buyers prioritizing specific features over absolute novelty.
