Are you planning to get the Pixel 7?

Ok. I just did the math and it's actually cheaper to go with the Google store.

Verizon:
$999-$800 trade in=$200.

$10/month for the upgraded data= $360. Assuming I keep the phone for 36 months it would cost me roughly $560. Thats not including the 6% sales tax or activation fee. That's an extra $90.

Google:(Black Friday 256gb Pro)
$849x$.06(sales tax)=$900. $900-$535=$365.

Verizon - $560+$90 activation and tax.
Google - $365

Still not as cheap as I was hoping, but I don't really see the point in going for the regular 7.

I think I will end up paying the full amount of $365 instead of financing it. Just so I don't have to worry about it. Plus I'll still be paying off the credit line from Samsung.

As far as convincing my wife, I will explain to her how slow this phone is and how I really want to be able to take the best pictures possible on our anniversary trip next June.

My other less desirable option is to sell it on Swappa. But currently there are 73 listings for the S22+. I'm not sure it would sell quickly or that I want to deal with the hassle of trying to sell it.

I think married couples call that a "white lie" lol

Have fun when you get it. I got my 256GB Pro for only $399 with trade in.

Yeah, it was one of those that seemed too good to be true, but all worked out as expected.

No issues with camera, pics look good and new tools available for photo editing are nice.

Absolutely! So glad it all worked out well for you! Thanks for letting us know about the camera performance! Yes, those photo editing tools sound awesome!
 
Placed my order for the Hazel 7 Pro 256gb last night. Google offered me $650 for my S22 plus. With Price Protection, they will adjust the price for the $150 off Black Friday deal. With tax, it works out to be about $250.

Don't waste your time on TPU screen protector. Go glass and steam up.

Yay! Please post photos when you get it! That hazel colour is amazing!
 
My phone shipped today and so I chatted with Google and got my $150 refunded for the Black Friday deal. Pretty simple exchange and process.

Thanks for posting this!

I just reached out to them and got $65 bucks refunded (I had a 10% coupon I used during the initial order so they split the difference, which I think is fair).
