Pixel 11: How Google's Trade-In Program Can Help Soften The Financial Blow
The new Pixel 11 lineup from Google is expensive, but you can soften the financial blow by trading in your old phone.
In a welcome surprise, Google's trade-in program offers more generous values than many other retailers. For example, if you trade in an older model like the Galaxy S10 or iPhone 6s Plus, you'll get $30 for it. More recent devices are worth more, such as $150 for the Pixel 4a and Galaxy S20.
The best part is that Google will accept even older models like the original Pixel ($100), which means you can finally recycle your old device and upgrade to a new Pixel phone.
When trading in with Google, be aware of how the discount works. Some customers may be eligible for instant trade-in, where the discount is applied upfront to their order. Others will receive the trade-in value as a refund once their old device has been received and accepted.
