This Google Store Trade-In program is introduced just in time for the Android flagship Pixel 2. However, the offer is already live for Pixel smartphones too.
How The Google Store Trade-In Program Works
Making use of this Google Store Trad-In program is quite easy. Here’s how it works:
Log on to the Google Store by going to https://www.store.google.com Select the Google Pixel or Pixel XL that you want to purchase and click on ‘Buy’. You would then see an option of ‘Trade Your Phone’. Select your manufacturer Select your device You would then be asked a few questions on the condition of your phone to evaluate the trade-in price of your phone.
You would then have to ship your phone to Google and once they receive it, the amount would be credited to your card.
List of Supported manufacturers and Devices:
The Google Store Trade-In program supports only six manufacturers for now:
Samsung LG Google Apple Huawei Motorola
Here’s a list of smartphones that you can trade in and the discount that you can get:
Galaxy Note5: $61-150 Galaxy S8+: $66-$345 Galaxy S8: $59.60-$305 Galaxy S7 edge: $40.40-$175 Galaxy S7: $52-$150 iPhone 6: $35-$143 iPhone 7 Plus: $68-$388 iPhone SE: $30-$143 LG G6: $35.20-230 Nexus 6P: $113-165 Nexus 5X: $82.50-$115 Nexus 6: $35-$80
The trade-in value for the Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL will be revealed once the company makes the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL official. The discounts are rather disappointing for now. However, it is expected that the trade-in value for the Google Pixel would be much higher. For now you’d need to give a fully functioning iPhone 7 Plus in order to get a $388 discount, which is the highest at offer so far.
