Verizon is currently offering new deals -- and we just found one more. You can save $1,000 when you buy a 128 GB Google Pixel 10 Pro phone on an Unlimited Plus or Unlimited Ultimate plan from Verizon.
Also: The Pixel 10a is the midrange phone to beat this year
We've been fans of the Google Pixel Pro since its release, so the fact that you can get it for free when you upgrade to an Unlimited Verizon plan is definitely something we took note of. The Pixel 10 Pro has one of the best camera systems available, with a triple-lens setup that includes a 50MP primary lens, a 58MP ultrawide, and a 48MP 5x telephoto camera, all enhanced by features like ProRes AI Zoom and Auto Best Take.
In fact, Matthew Miller took 1,000 photos with the Pixel 10 Pro in Hawaii. He said it "stood out as the most reliable and versatile option" compared to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max, Vivo X200, and OnePlus 13. The Pixel 10 Pro utilizes Google's ProRes Zoom up to 100x, allowing users to capture images from very far away with impeccable clarity.
Miller also used the panorama capture guidance and Auto Best Take functions, which were excellent for group photos and environmental shots. The Pixel 10 Pro can also use AI to fix images that were previously too blurry, and the Camera Coach feature can help photographers of any level take better and more beautiful shots.
Also: Expert tested: We ran battery tests on 17 phones
The camera quality isn't the only aspect of the Google Pixel 10 Pro worth noting. Miller wrote that the device's battery ran out after capturing over 500 photos and videos, but thanks to Google's fast charging feature, he was able to continue snapping in no time. When we battery-tested 17 different phone models, the Pixel 10 Pro had 93% battery after 1 hour of our video playback test, 85% after 2 hours, and 77% after 3 hours. After 30 minutes of general usage, the Pixel 10 Pro still had 96% battery, which isn't too shabby.
To cash in on the deal, head to the Verizon site and select a 128 GB Pixel 10 Pro in Moonstone or Obsidian. You can get the phone (valued at $1,000) for free (plus a $40 activation fee) if you sign up for or upgrade to an Unlimited Ultimate or Unlimited Plus plan.
The Unlimited Plus plan is $70/month per line and features 5G Ultra Wideband, 30 GB premium mobile hotspot data, and up to 50% off one data plan for a watch, tablet, or other device. The Unlimited Ultimate plan is $80/month per line. It offers 5G Ultra Wideband with 4K/Ultra HD video streaming for calls and media, unlimited mobile hotspot data, unlimited international data, talk, and text, and up to 50% off two data plans for a watch, tablet, or other device. Both plans include a three-year price lock guarantee and are available to new and existing Verizon customers.
The Google Pixel 10 Pro is available for free with the purchase of either Verizon's Unlimited Ultimate or Plus plan (excluding a $40 activation fee per device). You'll still receive a bill each month, but the amount will be credited for 36 months with 0% APR. Tax may be due monthly or at the time of purchase.
How I rated this deal
Carrier offers like this one from Verizon are a great way to roll into a new phone or try something different without breaking the bank. This deal saves you $1,000 on one of our favorite Google Pixel devices, though you will need to enroll in an eligible Verizon service plan. Still, it's a great time to upgrade or swap your mobile device. That's why I gave this offer a 4/5 Editor's Deal rating.
This deal will expire on March 31, 2026.
