I was getting a trade-in quote of $250 for my 128gb 7 Pro last week, now it’s up to $315. Not quite at the $500 I got for my 6 Pro this time last year though.

    One thing about the trade-in values: Google broadcasts loud and clear that their phones don’t hold value. Their $900 dollar phone from last year is worth, according to them (!), $250-$315 today. Absolutely astounding that they admit this so clearly.

      Why would I actually want to trade in my Pixel 7 for a Pixel 8, though? Even for a straight swap, the hardware upgrade is negligible and I’d lose Photo Spheres on the software side.

      I’m unconvinced the 8 is even a superior phone at this point.

        The selfie camera and rear facing ultra wide on the 7 have a lot of room for improvement. Also the flat display.
