Building on last year’s bar-setting Google Pixel and Pixel XL, Google unveiled its newest Pixel devices at an October 4 event in San Francisco. The 5-inch Pixel 2 and 6-inch Pixel 2 XL come packed with Android 8.0 Oreo, huge OLED screens, top-notch cameras, and cutting-edge A.I. They’re the best phones Google has ever made.
Both the Pixel 2 and the Pixel 2 XL are available from carriers, brick-and-mortar stores, and online retailers in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Germany, and India. Here’s where to get the best deal.
The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL are available direct from Google.
The Google Pixel 2, which comes in “Just Black,” “Clearly White,” and “Kinda Blue” color configurations, starts at $650 for 64GB of storage and $750 for 128GB. With Google’s monthly financing program, the cost works out to $27.04 per month for the 64GB model and $31.21 per month for the 128GB model, both for 24 months.
The Google Pixel 2 XL will run you $850 for the 64GB model and $950 for 128GB. Under the 24-month installment plan, the 64GB starts at $35.38 per month, and the 128GB model is $39.54 per month.
In July the Google Store is offering a $100 discount on the 64GB version of the Pixel 2 XL, bringing it down to a very enticing $749. It’s part of a summer sale that includes the Google Daydream for $49. You can check out all the deals .
If you trade in and old Pixel, you’re eligible for up to $410 back. For more information about the Google Store’s trade-in program, check out our guide.
The Pixel 2 is available from Best Buy’s site and physical stores. The retailer is offering $100 off (factored into the price per month of the device on the Verizon plan) when you activate a Pixel 2 smartphone at its stores, plus up to an additional $300 with an eligible trade-in.
Best Buy is currently offering $500 off — caught by Droid Life — on the Pixel 2 XL, but only if you sign up for Verizon. You’ll receive $200 off thanks to a Best Buy instant discount and the additional $300 will come in the form of $12.50 in bill credit each month — but only when you buy the phone under the carrier’s 24-month device payment plan. This deal brings the 64GB Pixel 2 XL in Just Black or Black and White to $14.57 per month, while the 128GB model will cost you $18.74 per month.
Best Buy’s offers are stackable too, which means they can be combined with any carrier offers announced in the future, and they include a free Google Home Mini.
Purchasing your Pixel 2 smartphones through a wireless carrier is a bit of a challenge at the moment, because Google partnered with Verizon Wireless exclusively in the U.S. Still, other carriers are offering ways around it.
Verizon store listings went live on October 19.
Here’s is the pricing for the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL at Verizon:
You can get up to $300 off the Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL (and a free Google Home Mini) when you purchase it on the Verizon device payment plan and trade in one of these eligible devices:
T-Mobile is running its own special offer if you bring a Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL to the carrier after switching from Verizon. The carrier will pay up to $650 of what you owe to Verizon via prepaid MasterCard. You’ll also be able to use the device on the T-Mobile network if you sign up for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) with T-Mobile ONE Plus. According to T-Mobile’s site, you should get paid within 15 days.
Updated on May 2: Best Buy offering discount on Pixel 2 XL with two year Verizon contract.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
