The Google Pixel Fold is a pricey piece of hardware at $1,799, but Google is offering some pretty decent trade-in deals to help ease the blow.
Google’s first foldable, like Samsung’s, is not affordable by any means. The premium piece of kit costs $1,799 and delivers a spec sheet remarkably similar to the Pixel 7 Pro – Tensor G2 and 5x telephoto camera included. It also has a 5.8-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch inner panel, with Google’s flavor of Android and five years of security updates.
On the Google Store, the Pixel Fold is able to pull some pretty killer trade-in values from other devices, up to $900 for select Samsung and Apple devices.
The devices that will get the biggest trade-in value towards Pixel Fold compared to their retail cost are, obviously, iPhones. An iPhone 13 Pro Max will net $900 even for its base storage, and iPhone 12 Pro Max will get $800. Some Samsung devices also have solid values, with Galaxy S21 Ultra pulling $650 and Galaxy S22 Ultra at $750. You’ll also get a good deal when moving over from a Samsung foldable, with up to $900 in credit. Pixel devices, though, top out at around $400.
Here’s the full breakdown for some notable devices, all based on their minimum storage tier.
