On Tuesday, April 3, Verizon announced new promotional deals starting on Thursday, April 5. The carrier is offering up to 50 percent off for its top smartphones including the Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, iPhone X, Samsung Galaxy S9, and more.

For a limited time, you can trade in your smartphone and receive up to 50 percent off a Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL, along with a few other perks. The deal also includes two months free of YouTube TV, a Google Chromecast, and a Google Home Mini. But even if you decide to buy the device at full price without a trade in, you still receive the Google bundle.

With YouTube TV, you will be able to stream 50-plus live TV channels which also includes a cloud DVR with unlimited storage space. You can then redeem your YouTube TV trial via YouTube’s website. But it’s important to note that it’s only available for customers who haven’t subscribed to the trial in the past. After the trial period ends, you will be automatically charged $40 per month — unless you cancel beforehand.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro is the phone I’ve always wanted

I’ve been using iPhones ever since the first model launched in 2008, and my daily driver for the past year has been the iPhone 15 Pro. It's safe to say I'm a big Apple fan. Even so, I can’t help but think the Google Pixel 9 Pro is one of the best smartphones released this year.

In fact, I would even go as far as to say that the Pixel 9 Pro is the iPhone Pro I’ve always wanted. Yes, it’s just that good. Let me explain why.

I’m so disappointed with the Google Pixel 9 phones

How much choice is too much choice, and when does it become no choice at all? Whether it’s scrolling through Netflix or YouTube’s huge libraries or looking at a wardrobe bursting at the seams for something to wear, but finding nothing, it’s often simpler when there are just a couple of clear, well-curated choices from which to select.

Google has gone full "packed wardrobe" with the new Pixel 9 series. There are four different models in the range, with a fifth already on the shelf, and I’m about to tell you why Google has still gotten it all wrong.

I spent two hours with Google’s new Pixel 9 phones. Here are 5 things I love
Someone holding the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9.

For the last few years, Google has released new Pixel phones every October. This tradition has been pretty consistent, but not so for 2024. This year, Pixel fans are getting new phones earlier than ever.

Google officially announced the Google Pixel 9 series on August 13, about two months earlier than we initially expected. We also have more new Pixels than ever before — including the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold. I recently had a chance to spend a couple of hours with all of the non-folding new Pixels, and even after a brief hands-on session, there's already a lot that I like.
Google's new designs are fantastic
