Preorders for the new devices start today, Aug. 20, and the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL will be available on Aug. 28 (the Pixel 10 Pro Fold won’t arrive until Oct. 9). And you can already snag a few deals before these Pixel products hit shelves.
At Verizon, new and existing customers can get a Pixel 10 Pro for free or $1,000 off a Pixel 10 Pro XL when you trade in your current Google, Apple, Motorola, or Samsung phone (in any condition, with the Unlimited Ultimate plan). For those interested in the new foldable device, you can get $1,000 off a Pixel 10 Pro Fold when you trade in qualified phones.
The new Pixel 10 Pro has notable upgrades like 16GB of RAM, 30-hour battery life, and a better 5x telephoto lens, allowing the phone to support 100x Pro Res Zoom for great-looking closeups. Prices start at $999, and colors include Obsidian, Moonstone, Porcelain, and Jade.
While many of the features remain the same between the 10 Pro and the 10 Pro XL, the 10 Pro XL has a larger 6.8-inch Super Actua display and many AI tools that help users capture, edit, and reproduce photos to their liking. Prices start at $1,199, and it’ll be available in the same colors as the 10 Pro.

For the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Google made design changes in what it describes as a “new gearless, high-strength hinge” that allows the 10 Pro Fold to survive over 10 years of constant opening and closing, the company says. Plus, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is now the first foldable phone on the market to feature an IP68 rating, which allows it to withstand water and dust immersion. Pricing for the Fold starts at $1,799, and it’ll be available in two colors: Moonstone and Jade.
