  • It was nice this year that Google got their marketing and launch act together. Remember the years when the order page would crash on launch or it would take 4 weeks to get the phone? Jimmy Fallon looked horrible, but launch was smooth

  • t's a shame that American citizens in Puerto Rico can't take advantage of the offers because Google discriminates and doesn't sell to the island.????????

  • Ordered an obsidian 10 Pro XL 256GB from my Galaxy Watch 6 Classic just after 1pm since I couldn't get to my phone or a computer. Trade in value of my 9 Pro XL 256GB was $600. Had $300 store credit which will bring my total to $370.83.

    * Noticed I got a $100 code as well. Cancelled the original order. Re-ordered and added a Snap Charger. All together my new total is $307.22. Also ordered a Spigen Matte Black Rugged Armor (MagFit).

    My delivery status hasn't changed since cancelling and re-ordering. Looking like 8/28 or 8/29.

    • Yes. I got the p9proxl free from T-Mobile last year with a 2 year contract which I was fine with. Sometimes the carriers have better deals.

      • Carriers almost always have better deals on phones. They make that back with the pricing of their plans, especially for anyone with less than four lines on a plan. If you have less than four lines, it's usually better to stick with a cheap MVNO and try to find deals on phones. It's more hassle but usually cheaper.

    • I moved from Verizon to Visible, saving $80 a month. $80×36 months = $2880. Buy a Pixel outright and I still come out better in 36 months than the Verizon trade-in "deal."

  • This year's trade in values are not as strong as last year. Last year I got $699 for turning in my Pixel 8 Pro and this year Google is only offering $600 for the Pixel 9 Pro. I'll definitely be waiting longer to see what kind of discounts are available 4th quarter. Perhaps there will be another Gold membership discount like there was last year. Between the discount and the higher trade in value, last year it only cost me about $150 to upgrade to the P9P. Currently it would cost me a whole lot more, even counting the "future store credit".

    • IDK. Got offered $425 for my P7P. Seems fair. Just don't know if I pull the trigger now or wait until Black Friday

    • Yeah, they were a little disappointing this year compared to last year. Only $600 for the P9PXL, too. But, I got an email from Google with a $100 discount code, so it ended up being about the same – $50/month interest free until the P11, plus a $200 store credit. I can live with that. Now, I just hope the Arc Pulse from my P9PXL fits the 10….

      Last year I used the $200 store credit on a Pixel Watch 3 — this year I might hold on to it and apply it to the Pixel 11

      • Same. I'm still rocking Pixel Watch 2, but I'm going to hold on to my $200 store credit for next year.

    • They had to eat the increased costs somewhere for inflation and tariffs. At least they kept the base price the same as last year. They could have done both…increased the base price AND give less for a trade-in. Seems fair as far as corporate goes

  • Just traded in my p9pro fold. With the trade in, and the $400 credit i had from the purchase, $100 off coupon from email, $17 after trade in a p10proXL. I am done with folding phones. The novelty has worn off.

    • I tried the Fold/Flip – After about 3 months of use they were more of a burden than an advantage.

  • Just placed my order for Pixel 10 pro 128Gb in porcelain and a pixelsnap case(indigo). Received $550 trade in for my Pixel 9 pro, also had $200 in store credit burning a hole in my pocket. I really thought about the Jade color, until I realized it was $100 more for storage that I'll never use. Ships August 28th to 29th. Sweet……..

  • I was planning on ordering P10P but a little disappointed in the trade in for my 256 P9P as others have mentioned. Waiting for a better offer I guess

    • eSim is how the rest of the world rolls. It's so easy to get off the plane and turn on with esim or an app

      • I had a physical SIM and ordered the Pixel 10 so figured I'd get ahead of things and move to an eSIM this morning.

        With Visible it took all of five minutes and was super simple. Not sure why people are so opposed to it.

    • Would have ordered, but I can't stand eSIM.

      Hoping I can purchase in another country that has SIM card versions.

  • Ordered a Pixel 4 watch at $349.00, got a trade in for my Pixel Watch 1 at $35.00. Earned $10.50 or so from Google….

    Was going to order a Pixel 10, Google offered $150 bucks for my Pixel 6a. Maybe I will wait on the prices to drop, let me think about it….

    • Yeah, with my trade in, the P10XL would be $800+. The $200 credit would cover some new Pixel Buds though which I need since the pair I have broke. Still seems like a lot when my P7P is still rocking hard. IDK.

      • I'm sure I'll get downvoted for this, but it's a legitimate question. Do Pixelbuds do anything special when connected to Pixel phones? Otherwise, I feel like there are a ton of great earbuds out there with similar features that cost a good bit less.

  • I have the credit from last year plus the trade in, so this ends up not being much cost for a one year upgrade. Anyone know if the dimensions are the same? I'd love to just keep using my ghost case from dbrand.

    • From what I've seen the width and height are the same but a tiny bit thicker. Also some cutouts are different. It looks like a new case will be needed.

    • Pixel Watch 4 comes with 2 years of free data?
      but yeah, $200 store credit for the phone

  • On the fence about returning my Fold7 (still within 15 day return period) and trading my s24 ultra in for the ProXL. I like the Moonstone but Green is my favorite color, not totally sold on getting this phone but if I am, considering Jade but I find it odd that the Jade XL is only available in 256 GB.

  • I traded my 6 pro for $350 instead of my 9 pro XL for $600. For the $250 difference, I would rather get rid of the older phone. I always try and keep a spare phone around in case of an emergency (lost or broken).

  • I wonder how many millions Google spent on these celebrities instead of putting that money towards lowering price

  • Ordered Pixel 10 Pro Moonstone 128gb (Unlocked) & Pixelsnap Case (Indigo)
    Delivers Thu, Aug 28 – Fri, Aug 29

    Subtotal: $1,048.99
    Tax: $57.69
    Shipping: $0.00
    Store credit: -$449.30
    Trade in (P9P 128gb): $550
    Total:$107.38

    …and earned $262.81 more store credit.

    • You got $550 trade in for the Pixel 9 Pro 128GB. That's the same as they are giving for the 256GB.

      • Looking at the store page again, P9P trade in is $550 no matter the storage size – 128gb through 1024gb.
        Wow, glad I buy 128gb phones.

        • Yeah, I checked that too. I don’t know if it’s been like that in the past. I’ve never looked.

        • Agree. I only get 128gb since everything now is in cloud storage. Don't know why people waste money on crazy amounts of device storage

          • I also got the 128gb, but this year you get the old UFS 3.1. 256gb and up if you want UFS 4.0 storage. Maybe I made a mistake.

    • aaaaaand I literally just got emailed a $100 dollar off code….
      So I guess I'm cancelling this order and reordering…

      Hardware Subtotal: $1,048.99
      Promotional Discount: -$100.00
      Tax: $52.19
      Shipping: $0.00
      Store credit: -$449.30
      Trade in (P9P 128gb): -$550
      Total: $1.88

      (My store credit earned decreased to $252.86)
      Same delivery estimate.

      • I'm in a similar boat just with a little less store credit.

        But I would go even further since I actually pay for the 2TB cloud storage that since they are giving me the 12 months of AI Pro, it's almost like Google paid me to get a new phone lol

      • Same! I've been waiting for hours to talk to support. I'm hoping I can get them to apply my coupon code to my order without canceling and ordering again. I don't want to lose my new 1 year of AI Pro subscription.

      • Same thing happened to me – I ordered as soon as it went live (I still have PTSD flashbacks from the pre-order fiascos of earlier years), and then got the $100 code 2 hours later. Canceled and re-pre-ordered lol

        With the code and trade-in (P9PXL), I get a new phone (10PXL) for $500 — I can live with that.

    • I got $200 store credit. How did you get an extra $62? I wish they'd just get rid of store credit and discount the products by that much. Now I'm stuck with $200 I'll probably never use. I plan on keeping the Pixel 10 Pro for several years and nothing else interests me.

      • Paying for any google service makes you a "Google One" member, I pay for Google Drive 5TB
        Google One members get 10% store credit on all hardware purchases.
        So after using my $449.30 store credit to reduce my total from $1048.99, i paid roughly $552, netting the additional $52 credit on top of the promotional $200.

        If nothing else interests you, hopefully the promotional credit will not expire for a few years? or who know, maybe one day you'll try a Google TV. I know I love mine. Worst case, periodically get some free chargers or cases?

        • The credit for subscribing to a Google service must require a more expensive plan. I have the 100GB plan which doesn’t give anything extra.

          The store credit from the promotion expires after one year. I used the $200 credit from my Pixel 9 Pro to get the Pixel 10 Pro but I plan on keeping it for more than a year. Google TV is great but I have Sony TVs that have it built in. I have plenty of chargers and don’t like the cases from Google. I don’t wear watches and already have earbuds. Maybe I’ll buy buds and then sell them for a little below MSRP as a way to cash out at least some amount of the credit.

  • Just pre-ordered. Shipping is at the end of the week (nice!), but the trade-in values are definitely lower than I’d hoped.
