Google just launched the Pixel 8a, and through the Google Store, it’s offering the device for free with select trade-ins. If you’re upgrading from a previous Pixel A-Series device as well, Google has some decent trade-in deals to offer with the Pixel 8a.
Trade-in offers have become one of the main ways to upgrade your smartphone over the past few years, and the Pixel 8a is no different. Google says it will give buyers up to $500 off the Pixel 8a — making the device free — with select deals. Values will vary, but the highest prices can be found with iPhones, of course. The iPhone 14 Pro Max will set you back $499 regardless of storage option.
Best values In the Google store It’s found with high-end devices, but there are some very strong values to be had with previous Pixel A-Series devices.
The Pixel 7a will set you back $200, while the Pixel 6a gets you $180 in return. Since these devices often sell on the used market for less than $250, Google’s offering is a quick and easy way to upgrade.
The Pixel 4a, which is no longer receiving updates, is also getting $160, which is a particularly good offer. Google will also give you $175 off the OnePlus 9 Pro, which is an unexpectedly great offer.
We’ve rounded up some of the key trade-in offers below, all based on devices in good condition and less storage options.
