It sounds like Google really made some strides with this years phone. It's about damn time. Their software has always been so good but was always let down by their hardware. I still think the price increase is hard to swallow, but at least they've cut less corners this time.

The new Pixel Fold Pro might finally be the first foldable with no major drawbacks as long as battery life and camera quality turn out to be decent. I was hoping Google would offset the price hikes with great trade in deals like Samsung used to do, but looking at some of the values...they're terrible. I will however be watching reviews and Black Friday deals. May try and snag a Fold if they dip in price enough around that time.

Guys, any ideas on the realistic resale value of the Pixel Watch 3 (41mm or 45mm) in the UK?

Not interested in keeping the watch but just wanted to take advantage of the £50 Google Store credit offer.

I thought the trade in prices in US were excellent this year TBH..$700 for pixel 8 Pro along with $200 Google store credit or $350 store credit for the fold

I'm seeing some good trade in prices at BestBuy as well

Would mean cancelling my pixel fold order though. Think may wait until one plus open 2 next year to see what that offers. Happy to wait foldable game out even though I do want one
I think you can't make a bad decision either way, but you are right there's always next year for the foldable

Does delaying the pre-order of the Pixel 9 / Pro mean later delivery times?

e.g. If I pre-order on 19 Aug, it should be delivered on the 22 Aug?

Yeah, but it's strange how much BB is giving for trade in values (only $460) on the Pixel Fold 9 Pro.

Edit. Noticed if I went with a S24U (512GB) ... I was given a $600 trade in value.
