If youre trying to decide whether the bundle is right for you, here are some things to consider.
What is Pixel Pass, and how much does it cost?
Pixel Pass includes Googles in-house subscription services: Google One, Play Pass, and YouTube Music Premium.
It also comes with an extended warranty and a discount on cell service from Google Fi.
Pixel Pass is essentially Googles mash-up of two similar Apple programs: Apple One and the iPhone Upgrade Program.
It does include regular upgrades, much like Apples iPhone Upgrade Program.
However, if you arent interested in using a Pixel phone, this requirement is a deal-breaker.
Popular Android phones from Samsung or OnePlus, for example, arent eligible for this program.
Additionally, customers should take note of what those regular upgrades entail.
Once the phone is paid off, its yours like any other phone would be.
The last drawback is a matter of preference.
Some users may not want or need all of Googles subscription services.
For example, while they might enjoy using Play Pass, they also prefer Spotify over YouTube Music.
Heres the breakdown:
Play Pass(Googles premium gaming service): $4.99 per month.
Google One:Starting at $1.99 per month, this is Googles Cloud storage and tech support program.
The 200 GB plan that Pixel Pass comes with, however, is normally $2.99 per month.
YouTube Premium:$11.99 per month, including YouTube Music.
The Pixel Pass only covers a $5 monthly discount on Google Fi plans, not the entire price.
The regular upgrades are a big deal, too, for those who are looking for them.
Googles line of Pixel phones keeps getting better and isconsistently neck-and-neck with Apples newest iPhones.
Who is Pixel Pass for?
For everyone else, its probably apass.
