Google Trims Pixel Prices Upfront with Instant Trade-In Credits
Google Store now applies instant trade-in credits at checkout for Pixel devices, mirroring Samsung’s upfront discount model; pricing pages show the trade-in credit applied immediately (e.g., trading in a Pixel 8a could drop a Pixel 10a 128GB to about $284). Final value can change based on actual device condition, with potential extra charges or refunds, and the program appears to extend to other Pixels like the Pixel 10 Pro, signaling a broader shift for future launches.
