With the Pixel Pass in Europe, Google only got up to the word mark. Now the bad news.
In recent years, Google has been able to buy a Pixel smartphone and various software subscriptions for a fixed monthly price There were hints that this offer is coming to Europe as well. But now there is a final reason why we can bury our hopes.
Pixel phone subscription, YouTube Premium and more
In fact, the subscription model is now very fashionable. Certainly for all kinds of streaming, but it’s far from uncommon for devices to subscribe to them and not buy them. It’s not the most attractive option in terms of price, but it’s generally very comfortable and you’re very flexible. For Google, however, this idea doesn’t seem to have worked.
The Pixel 8 is no longer part of Pixel Pass
Google gives On the Pixel Pass help pages knownThis offer is not effective immediately. New customers can no longer purchase Pixel Pass. So the program is closed. Existing customers can keep Pixel Pass until their current term expires, after which they can’t upgrade to a new Pixel phone.
It is also possible to rent smartphones without Google offers
You can still subscribe to smartphones in Europe, but not directly from Google and therefore without the various benefits A well-known provider is Grover, and I had a very good experience there. Basically, you should make sure that borrowed devices are treated with care so that you don’t have any problems when you return them later.
Too bad, I’d be happy with the Pixel Pass with us. A complete package including Play Pass, YouTube Premium and Google One and regular upgrades to new Pixel devices. It was actually a good idea.
