Some of those folks sent off that older hardware as quickly as they could and are already receiving responses from Google\u2019s trade-in partner with news of success. As an added bonus, some are actually getting better news than expected as far as trade-in values go.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve had a couple of readers reach out to tell us that Google is giving them more money than initially estimated for their trade-in. In other words, Google\u2019s trade-in partner is sending them more cash back than they expected to get. This is, well, borderline unheard of in the trade-in industry. Typically, if there are differences on values, it\u2019s the trade-in partner shorting folks, not giving them more.<\/p>\n<p>The first tip we received about this was from a reader who traded in their Pixel 9 Pro. Google original gave them an estimated value of $550, but they are scheduled to receiving $580 in return. Another reader sent off two Pixel 8 Pro units that were estimated at $500 each, but they are getting $530 for each instead. These folks aren\u2019t alone either. I found a reddit thread where others were finding the same, with more money from Google than was originally estimated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.droid-life.com\/2025\/09\/09\/googles-trade-in-program-surprises-people-with-more-money-than-estimated-with-pixel-10-orders\/pixel-10-trade-in-value-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-311014 nofollow noopener\" data-slb-active=\"1\" data-slb-asset=\"977800176\" data-slb-internal=\"311014\" data-slb-group=\"311010\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-311014\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Pixel 10 trade-in value\" width=\"708\" height=\"980\" data-wp-pid=\"311014\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Pixel-10-trade-in-value-1-708x980.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Of course, not everyone will be a part of this kind of success story. We\u2019ve also seen several conversations around the internet of people having a hard time getting their trade-ins to go through as they hoped. While we\u2019ve always had a lot of positive experiences with trade-in programs, that isn\u2019t the case for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>If you already submitted your trade-in approved from buying a Pixel 10 series device, let us know how it went.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers TJ and Scott!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For many of the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro pre-orders that arrived over the past week, new&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":145584,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[165,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-145583","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-mobile","9":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145583","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145583"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145583\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145584"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145583"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145583"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145583"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
