The phones get a free storage upgrade. Also, you can get a discount on the watch if you buy it alongside a Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL.
By far the biggest launch this week was the arrival of the Google Pixel 9 series. The search giant unveiled two new flagships, a new near-flagship phone and a new foldable, all of which are currently on pre-order.
In Germany, the phones come with a free storage upgrade – usually, this means getting a 256GB model for the price of a 128GB one. However, for phones that have a higher tier, you can have the 512GB model for the price of a 256GB model (the new Fold starts at 256GB, so 512GB is the only option right now).
Let’s look at the Google Pixel 9 first. Both Google and Amazon are offering a €150 bonus for trading in an old device – and good thing too, because the trade-in valuations are terrible. A Pixel 8 in good condition is valued at only €186, which means €336 with the bonus added. An iPhone 15 fetches a more respectable €510 (including the bonus), while a Galaxy S23 is valued at €325, less than the Pixel. For older devices, e.g. Pixel 7 or Galaxy S22, the trade-in bonus tends to be higher than the trade-in value.
