Pixel 9 Series: Google Store Shows Prices After Trade-In
Trade-In Values Highlighted
The Google Store is now displaying Pixel 9 series prices after trade-in for select Google accounts. This new feature shows the potential cost of a new Pixel 9 after trading in an eligible device and applying available discounts. This change is visible on the Google Store homepage, the "Phones" category page, and individual product listings for the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
Estimated Trade-In Values
- Pixel 9: Starting from $379 (save up to $420) with an estimated $270 trade-in value for a Pixel 7.
- Pixel 9 Pro: Starting from $449 (save up to $550) with an estimated $400 trade-in value for a Pixel 7 Pro.
- Pixel 9 Pro Fold: Starting from $1,099 (save up to $700) with an estimated $400 trade-in value for a Pixel 7 Pro.
These trade-in values assume the devices are in good working condition. For more details on eligible trade-in devices and conditions, you can check out resources like Free Screen Repairs with Samsung Care+.
Limited Availability
Currently, this feature appears to be limited to specific Google accounts and is not visible when logged out or using other accounts. This suggests it may be a test feature before a wider rollout. Other Google devices like the Pixel 8a, Pixel Watch, and Pixel Tablet are not yet included in this trade-in pricing display. It's also worth noting the recent Samsung Galaxy S25 "Slim" launch delay and how other manufacturers are handling trade-ins.
Potential Impact
This move by Google could incentivize upgrades within the Pixel ecosystem. By clearly showing the reduced price after trade-in, it simplifies the purchase decision for potential buyers. For those interested in other phone options, resources like Best Selfie Smartphones offer comparisons and reviews.
