Google bumps up Pixel 4/4 XL discounts for select iPhone and Samsung trade-ins
Buying a Pixel 4 or 4 XL with only a couple of weeks left until the Black Friday frenzy is scheduled to begin may not sound like a great idea, but if you have something valuable to trade in, the latest Google Fi deals are nothing to sneeze at. You can already nab these and lower the list price of the search giant’s newest flagship phones to as little as $299, at least according to the promotional text on the MVNO’s official homepage.
500 bucks for a two year-old handset with an outdated processor and dual camera arrangement is a pretty sweet offer, and the same goes for the slightly newer iPhone XR with a single rear-facing shooter in tow. The 2018-released LCD model can get you up to $500 at Google Fi and a measly $345 with a Google Store trade-in as long as you’re ditching a mint-condition 256GB storage variant.
Unfortunately, the differences are much less significant as far as trade-ins of older Pixel generations are concerned. As such, you can only get up to $280 for a Pixel 3 and $315 for a Pixel 3 XL. On the bright side, Google Fi badly wants to increase its subscriber numbers by attracting Galaxy users as well, with up to a $500 Pixel 4/4 XL discount offered in exchange for both an S10 and S10e, up to $350 and $380 for a Galaxy S9 and S9+, $200 for a Note 8, as well as $260 and $275 for the Galaxy S8 and S8+ respectively.
