After months of rumors, leaks, and teases, the Google Pixel 10 series is finally here. Google's new flagship lineup consists of four options — Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, and 10 Pro Fold — with each offering specific upgrades over the last. If you're looking to pick up one of these freshly announced phones, you can do so right now at the Google Store or through retailers like Amazon and Best Buy.
The Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL are all set to be released on August 28, but the Pixel 10 Pro Fold won't arrive until October 9 this year. If you're hoping to get the best possible preorder deal on the new phones, Amazon has one of the best offers for most people. We've also outlined all of the other promotions going on right now below.
The Google Pixel 10 Series Is Up for Preorder
The Pixel 10 starts at $799, while the 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL come in at $999 and $1,199, respectively. If you're looking to score a new foldable, you can grab the Pixel 10 Pro Fold starting at $1,799. Of course, be prepared to pay a higher premium if you need more storage space on your device of choice. You'll also likely want to pick up a decent Pixel 10 case for your new phone as well.
Where to Buy the New Unlocked Pixel 10 Phones
Unless you're planning to purchase some accessories or other items from the Google Store, I'd argue the Amazon or Best Buy credits are likely to be more versatile options. Either way you go, though, you're essentially getting a nice chunk off the cost of a future purchase at any of these retailers, making it more appealing to upgrade to a Pixel 10 series device before these deals end on September 4.
Here's a quick rundown of each of the major promotions going on for these new phones:
Google Store
If you buy the Pixel 10 directly from the Google Store between now and September 4, you can earn $100 in Google Store credit. If you want the Pixel 10 Pro or Pro XL, that credit increases to $200, while the Pixel 10 Pro Fold can score you a whopping $350. The Google Store will also accept trade-ins for additional credit.
Best Buy
If you'd prefer to buy the phone from Best Buy, you'll get Best Buy gift cards of the same denominations as those you'd get for the Google Store. Of course, if you've got a plan through AT&T or Verizon, you can save an additional $100 off activation when upgrading. Best Buy will also offer a significant trade-in credit if you have an older Pixel phone.
Amazon
Amazon offers a $100 Amazon gift card for buying the Pixel 10 between now and September 4. Again, the Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL bump things up to $200. However, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold only increases the Amazon gift card to $300, which is $50 less than the credit offered from the Google Store or Best Buy.
What Carriers Are Offering Promotions?
While you can buy the unlocked version of the new Pixel models directly from the carriers, there aren't as many incentives to do so. That being said, you can usually get a free phone if you sign up for a new plan. Here's a quick rundown of what each carrier is offering.
Verizon
Verizon is offering 0% APR for 36 months when you sign up for an Unlimited plan. There's a one-time activation fee of $40 for the new phone, but you'll only be paying for the carrier plan after that. Verizon also offers trade-in credits to help you save on your monthly bill when you send in your old phone.
AT&T
AT&T has two different offers available, but each one requires a data plan. The first is getting the phone for payments of $7.99 per month when you purchase any unlimited plan. You can also choose to get a Google Pixel Watch 3 for free when you preorder, but it still requires a data plan. There is also a trade-in option that will shave off some of your monthly bill credits.
T-Mobile
T-Mobile subscribers can get up to $1,000 off when they trade in an eligible device on a qualifying plan. You can also get $800 off when you add a line on an Essentials plan or any of the other qualifying subscriptions. These discounts will come as bill credits over 24 months.
Xfinity
Xfinity is offering up to $1,000 off the new Pixel phones when you add a line or upgrade an existing device on the Premium Unlimited plan. This discount is also dependent on what phone you trade in and you'll be billed for the service over a 24 month period.
Boost Mobile
Boost Mobile has a couple of different promotions running right now. You can get the Pixel 10 for $299.99 if you have or sign up for the Unlimited Premium plan. You can also choose to pay the full price of the phone upfront and get a free year of service instead.
