14 DAY TRIAL // Google decided to slash the price of Pixel 2 XL by $200, but there is a catch. The offer is only available for people getting the phone through Google Store Financing.
Despite the fact that Google Pixel 2 XL launched last year, it’s still one of the best devices to have, and it can easily compete with the latest Samsung S9+, and both iPhone X and iPhone 8. The problem was that Google’s Pixel 2 XL was more expensive than the competition, so a $200 price reduction is more than welcome.
There is a catch though. The reduction only applies if you go through Google Store Financing, which means that you’ll have a 24-month payment plan with Google. Sure, you can still pay the phone early, with no additional fees, but not everyone will be able to do that.
You can get more than a $200 price cut
The new offer from Google makes the Pixel 2 XL cheap enough to compete with both Samsung and Apple. Technically, you’re not getting $200 in your account, but as a stamen credit. This only means that you’ll owe Google $200 less on your new phone.
Furthermore, if you have an older device, you can trade that in for another discount, which depends very much on the model of the phone. For example, if you trade in your old 128GB Google Pixel XL, in working order and with the screen intact, you can shave another $235 off the price.
To sweeten the pot, Google even throws in an 18W USB-C power adapter for free, and that can be extremely useful if you want to have proper fast charging available.
Usually, these kinds of deals were promoted shortly before the launch of a new device, but we’re a long way from a new Pixel, which means that Google wants to really compete on the smartphone market. They have the right phone to take on Samsung and Apple, and now they also have the price.
