Agreed. I desperately wanted a Pixel phone with 1TB, when I saw that not only is the Pro available in a normal size model this year, BUT with a 1TB option I got excited...until I saw that it adds $500 to the base price of the phone, bringing it to a whopping $1499.
I'm gonna wait and see what the pricing looks like on Black Friday. I was originally wanting to keep my Pixel 8 until support ran out, but I'm already over half full on my 256gb, and my screen is having the green screen issues. I know I can get it warrantied, but the 1tb normal sized Pro is just a tempting option.
Wow that pricing is rough. They usually knock $200 off the price of pixels pretty quickly, and not just on Black Friday. They also f around with the trade in pricing which I think is a bad look, especially for their own products.
Yeah it's absolutely awful. I haven't checked out the trade-in pricing. I haven't ever tried that before, I was considering trading in my pixel 8, but I like having a spare in case something happens to my main phone and it needs to be repaired.
But yes, I agree it is a bad look.
My spare is still my 3XL. It would be rough. You could always pick up an a series if you need a phone quickly
Yeah my mom convinced me to trade-in my 8 and just get the Pro model.
I have/had a 6, but the battery became extra spicy and I haven't gotten around to getting a replacement.
My Pixel 2 is still happily kicking though, no swelling and still turns on. Though the battery doesn't last long at all.
They quoted like $450-$490 for my Pixel 8, but I imagine it's going to be even less as the screen is still flashing green. Even though they're doing warranty replacements on the P8 because of that, I'm betting they're going to use it as an excuse to slash the value off the trade-in.
