Will there be Pixel 3 deals at launch?

[Android Central Question]

I can’t remeber what deals were like with the Pixel 2 launch. Do Pixel phones typically go for full retail at launch or are there usually some discounted deals or great trade in deals available?

What will happen to the price of the Pixel 2 phones once the Pixel 3 launches?

Last year they offered a free Goggle Home Mini with purchase. They may do the same this year, as they've been doing that for a lot of things like purchasing a Nest Hello doorbell or Nest Cams. Hopefully they'll offer an alternative since I've already got enough Minis and the one I got with my doorbell went to a relative.

Do you remember what happened to the price of the original pixel phones? I'm looking at a Pixel 2 XL for $550, $300 off and trying to decide if I should pull the trigger. I don't mind waiting for the Pixel 3, but I know I am not going to pay $850 for one, so I'm not sure if there is even a reason for me to wait until October.

Only deal I know of was you got a free Google Home Mini when you bought a Pixel 2.

No idea what they'd do this year with the Pixel 3. Maybe the same thing? Personally, I'd rather have 100gb of Drive storage for 2 years or something.

Other phones used to offer 100gb of Drive storage for 2 years if you bought the phone. Don't know why Google can't offer the same with Google's own phone.

The charging stand would be great

Hoping for good trade in value for my 2xl. Don't care as much about free gift but will take it

Careful with trade-in deals. They are usually handled by third parties and don't always pan out as expected.

I traded in my 6p last year through Google for my 2xl and it worked out well. Didn't get as much as I could of but it was pretty painless. Thanks for advice

Last year got the full $350 trade in advertised for my pixel.

I'm not saying everyone didn't get what they expected.

My original post was to bkrickles as a note of caution because some didn't fair so we'll.

Verizon was running $100 off + guaranteed $375 for trade in if you did a payment plan on it.

Same here. Im waiting until the announcement to see the price drop on pre-owned units. I'm skeptical about the 2XLs because of early display issues combined with reports of battery saver/lag. Something needs to be updated.

It's actually nice being 1 model behind. Great deals can be had and a bunch of others are looking to sell their device to grab a new one.

I actually did receive what was posted on Google site but could have gotten more if I'd sold elsewhere. Probably much more but it was pretty easy just getting it all done at once. I'm hoping it's a similar experience in October

When you say you could've gotten more if you sold it elsewhere, do you mean trading it in somewhere else, or selling it on a site like eBay or Swappa? Because you'll usually get more selling it direct vs trading it in.

My 1+6 for 1300.00 its basically the pixel 3 XL except smaller notch

That is just so wrong in so many ways.
