The Pixel 10 series is officially here, and while they might appear pretty similar to last year\u2019s models, looks can be deceiving. From a more powerful, more efficient Tensor G5 chipset to a 5x telephoto on the base model \u2014 not to mention Pixelsnap and all of the AI skills you can handle \u2014 this is a much larger launch than first impressions might imply. If you\u2019re looking to pre-order one of Google\u2019s new smartphones, there are plenty of places to score a deal, either through retailers or through your carrier.<\/p>\n
Who has the best offer?<\/p>\n
Google<\/a><\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking to trade in your old device, Google is probably going to deliver the best rates<\/a> you\u2019ll find outside of some very specific carrier deals. Last year\u2019s Pixel 9 Pro XL, for example, will save you $600 on its successor, cutting that $1,200 price tag in half. Don\u2019t go in expecting you\u2019ll need one of Google\u2019s most recent Pixels to save cash, though. In some ways, the best bargains are actually found on older devices. $500 for the Pixel 8 Pro and $425 for the Pixel 7 Pro are pretty excellent deals, for example, specifically when you factor in 2-3 years of use.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a round-up of what trading in a Tensor-powered Pixel can save you. Values appear the same regardless of which device you\u2019re buying, as well as the storage allotment in the phone you\u2019re trading in.<\/p>\n \tAdvertisement – scroll for more content<\/p>\n Pixel 9 Pro Fold$760Pixel 9 Pro XL$600Pixel 9 Pro$550Pixel 9$400Pixel Fold$500Pixel 8 Pro$500Pixel 8$350Pixel 8a $250Pixel 7 Pro$425Pixel 7$300Pixel 7a$200Pixel 6 Pro$350Pixel 6$250Pixel 6a$150<\/p>\n Non-Tensor Pixels can also be traded in, dating back to the very first Pixel from 2016, which nets you $110 in value. Not bad for a 9-year-old phone!<\/p>\n Google also accepts trade-ins from Apple, Samsung, as well as older OnePlus devices and a single Motorola phone. Largely speaking, these devices don\u2019t deliver quite the same value. Here\u2019s a small sampling; visit Google\u2019s online store to view the entire list.<\/p>\n iPhone 16 Pro Max$799iPhone 16$550iPhone 14$425Galaxy Z Fold 6$625Galaxy Z Flip 6$350Galaxy S25 Ultra$650Galaxy S24$360Moto edge+ 5G UW$28OnePlus 10R$115OnePlus 10 Pro$180<\/p>\n Google is also giving store credit to anyone who purchases unlocked Pixel 10 series devices through Sept. 4th. While you can\u2019t use that credit on your Pixel upfront, you\u2019ll be able to spend it on accessories and other future purchases.<\/p>\n $350 in store credit for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold<\/p>\n $200 in store credit for the Pixel 10 Pro or Pro XL<\/p>\n $100 in store credit for the Pixel 10<\/p>\n Best Buy<\/p>\n I\u2019ve always been a big fan of pre-ordering smartphones through Best Buy, since in-store pickup eliminates that dreaded \u201cwhere\u2019s my delivery?\u201d feeling that inevitably arrives on launch day. Shoppers can save up to $760 when buying the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, or up to $600 on the non-foldable Pixel 10 trio, with a qualifying trade-in. Best Buy will also give you an e-gift card after you cash out, with the value depending on which device you pick:<\/p>\n $100 gift card for Pixel 10<\/p>\n $200 gift card for Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL<\/p>\n $350 gift card for Pixel 10 Pro Fold<\/p>\n There\u2019s no trade-in required to get those gift cards \u2014 they come with every Pixel 10 pre-order.<\/p>\n Amazon<\/p>\n As usual, Amazon doesn\u2019t do trade-ins for smartphone launches, but you can still pick up any of the three non-foldable devices from here. That\u2019s particularly useful if you have a pile of Amazon gift cards burning a hole in your pocket, but don\u2019t expect to save any serious cash here until the holidays.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/pixel-10-series-7.jpg\"){kind=tracking}
