Verizon initiated preorders for the new Google Pixel 10 series on August 20, 2025, marketing the devices as flagship products on what it describes as America's fastest and most reliable 5G network. The lineup includes the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and the foldable Pixel 10 Pro Fold, all accessible through Verizon's financing program with 0% APR. The pricing structure enables monthly payments, with the standard Pixel 10 starting at $22.22 per month for 36 months ($799.99 retail), while the premium Pixel 10 Pro Fold reaches $49.99 monthly ($1,799.99 retail). Verizon highlights its three-year price lock on all myPlan and myHome network plans, guaranteeing customers will not encounter price increases on their base monthly rates during that timeframe.
The most significant aspect of Verizon's offering involves aggressive trade-in deals that substantially lower costs. New and existing customers can acquire a Pixel 10 Pro for free or receive $1,000 off a Pixel 10 Pro XL when trading in current Google, Apple, Motorola, or Samsung phones in any condition, provided they subscribe to Unlimited Ultimate plans. Similarly, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold receives a $1,000 discount with qualified trade-ins. The technological importance of the Pixel 10 series centers on its advanced AI capabilities, particularly features like Gemini Live and Magic Cue, which Google asserts transform how users interact with their devices. These AI advancements, combined with Verizon's network reliability including free satellite texting, position the devices as potentially redefining the smartphone experience.
Business customers gain additional benefits through Verizon Business offerings, where signing up for a new line or upgrade can secure a Pixel 10 (128GB model) at no cost with My Biz Plan and $20 monthly add-on spending. Alongside the smartphone launch, Verizon also opened preorders for the Pixel Watch 4, featuring a slimmer design, deeper Gemini AI integration, advanced health monitoring, and significantly improved battery life. The watch starts at $12.49 per month for 36 months ($449.99 retail) and can be obtained for as low as $5 monthly when purchased with a new Pixel 10 and trading in a qualified watch.
An extra perk includes six months of free Google AI Pro service with Unlimited Ultimate or Unlimited Plus plans, after which customers pay $10 monthly instead of the standard $19.99. The devices will become widely available through Verizon.com and retail stores on staggered dates, with Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL arriving August 28, while Pixel 10 Pro Fold and Pixel Watch 4 launch October 9. This rollout strategy allows Verizon to manage inventory and marketing efforts across different product tiers, potentially maximizing consumer engagement throughout the fall season.
