Google is fleecing previous Pixel owners on trade-ins

Ryne Hager

Trade-in offers aren't always the best value, though sometimes companies are willing to subsidize the discount you get just to put you in their ecosystem or reward you for sticking around. Based on the trade-in values that Google is offering for previous Pixels, though, it seems the company couldn't care less about brand loyalty. Right now, a mint condition 128GB Pixel 3 XL gets you just $295 in value toward a Pixel 4 pre-order. For folks that paid $1,000 last year, that stings.

Evidence points to Pixel 4 supporting dual-SIM dual-standby

Hagop Kavafian

Back in February, preliminary data seemed to indicate the Pixel 4 would support dual-SIM dual-standby, which allows two separate lines to be provisioned simultaneously on the same device. The feature became fully available on the Pixel 3a thanks to the Android 10 upgrade, and it's only fair to expect Google's latest flagship would also support DSDS.

The Pixel 4 and 4 XL are official, starting at $799 and shipping on October 24

Ryan Whitwam

Every phone leaks, but Google had a hand in leaking the Pixels this year. So, this won't come as a surprise, but the Pixel 4 and 4 XL are official. They look just as we expected based on all those leaks: there's no notch, but the sizeable bezel is packed with sensors including IR face unlock cameras and a Soli radar module. These are Pixels, so you can also expect the best of Google's software experience, too.
