Verizon suggests that the price of Pixel 3 starts at $ 799.99

Google just can not take a break with Pixel 3. A Verizon promotional page suggests that the phone will be priced at $ 799.99 for its 64GB model. If that's true, it would make $ 150 more expensive than the Pixel 2 at launch.

The agreement announced that consumers can get a second Pixel 3 64GB free on the purchase of one of the phones, the initial cost of $ 800 of the free device being refunded over a contract period of 24 months. The transaction does not always appear on the Verizon Wireless website (we had to refresh several times and use the incognito mode).

A second promotional page discovered from the My Verizon app (via Reddit) suggests that you will also get one of Google's new free wireless pixel racks when pre-ordering through the operator's app.

There is however speculation as to whether the $ 800 price tag applies to the standard or XL version of the handset. The phone shown in the ad appears to be a Pixel 3 XL based on its display screen (which would mean a price reduction of $ 50), but the text describing the transaction Buy One Get One clearly relates to the Pixel 3. And who knows, maybe it's just a fictitious item before signing the deal, later today. Nevertheless, on the basis of the existing price leaks and the general trend towards more expensive handsets, we are inclined to believe that it describes the non-XL variant. Verizon's BoGo offers typically apply to entry-level models.

The Pixel 3 should once again be exclusive to Verizon in the United States, as it was for both the original Pixel and Pixel 2. Stay tuned for the official launch of the phone from 11 am, aujourd & # 39; hui.
