Pixel 10 users might score Google’s $240 AI upgrade for free

While the trial duration isn’t confirmed, the code aligns with similar perks offered to Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 buyers, who received six months of AI Pro and 2 TB of cloud storage for free.Historically, Pixel 9 Pro users received a full year of free access, while the base Pixel 9 got six months. If Google follows a similar pattern, Pixel 10 Pro buyers may receive the longer trial, while base Pixel 10 model owners get a shorter one. Either way, users could be saving up to $240 in subscription value.

AI Pro plan offers deeper Gemini integration

Google’s AI Pro plan unlocks more advanced Gemini features, including extended context windows, priority access to newer models, and enhanced AI tools. And while some Gemini features are expected to run fully on-device — thanks to the Tensor G5 chip — others may require cloud-based processing tied to AI Pro.This move fits Google’s strategy to push AI deeper into its ecosystem, but to convince users to subscribe, the company likely needs to let them try the experience first, especially when it’s tied to its flagship Pixel phones.
