14 DAY TRIAL // Android fans in the United States don't have too many options if they want to purchase the Google Pixel or Pixel XL smartphones. The devices are exclusive to Verizon, at least for the time being, so unless you order one directly from Google, there aren't any other options available to you.
T-Mobile announced a few days ago that those who purchased an unlocked Pixel smartphone are eligible to receive up to $325 in credit, which is half the price of the 32GB model. The condition is to sign up for T-Mobile ONE and show the Magenta carrier the proof of purchase.
But if you can't afford to buy an unlocked Pixel/Pixel XL smartphone and you have to choose Verizon, then you'll be pleased to know the Big Red has an interesting offer for those who want a Google phone.
All new Verizon customers can trade-in their smartphones and save up to $400 on the purchase of the Pixel/Pixel XL. On the other hand, if you're already a Verizon customer, you will only be given the option to save up to $300 towards the purchase of the Pixel/Pixel XL.
Aside from the fact that the phone you trade in must be in working condition, Verizon will only offer you the maximum amount ($300) for these smartphones: Apple iPhone 6, HTC M9, LG V10, Samsung Galaxy Note 5, Samsung Galaxy S6, Samsung Galaxy S6 edge, and Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+.
It's also worth noting that Verizon now offers the 32GB Pixel model for $650 outright, so you can get it for just $250 if you're a new subscriber and meet all the requirements mentioned above. The improved version featuring 128GB of storage costs $750.
However, if you're into larger phones, Verizon sells the 32GB Pixel XL for $770, whereas the 128GB version is available for purchase for $870. Each of the Pixel/Pixel XL variants can also be had on monthly payments, but this will require you to sign up for a long-term agreement.
