Verizon is giving away the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL for free — how to claim yours this weekend
TL;DR: Get the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL for free from Verizon when signing up for a new line on the Unlimited Ultimate plan.
We know the focus right now is very firmly on Amazon's Big Spring Sale, but can we pull you away from all the Apple, Samsung, and DJI deals for a moment? There's a battle being waged between top mobile carriers to offer you flagship phones for free, and we'd hate for you to miss out.
We've already highlighted free promotions on the iPhone 17 and Samsung S26 Ultra, and now it's Google's time to shine. Verizon has quietly dropped a massive deal on Google's most powerful device: the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL. For a limited time, you can score this powerful model for free. And the best part? This deal does not require a trade-in, making it one of the cleanest ways to upgrade your tech for less.
Here are the steps you need to take to get the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL for free this weekend.
How to claim a free Google Pixel 10 Pro XL
To score the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL for free with Verizon, you’ll need to follow these simple steps:
Add a new line — this promotion is reserved for new line additions
Pick the right plan — select the Unlimited Ultimate plan to qualify for the full credit
36-month credit — the phone is paid via monthly bill credits spread over 36 months
With all these "free" deals, there are some costs to keep in mind. Verizon will still charge for sales tax on the full retail price of the phone upfront, and there is a one-time $35 activation fee.
The Google Pixel 10 Pro XL is an absolute beast, boasting the latest Tensor G5 chip and Google's most advanced AI camera features to date. If you're undecided on whether to go with the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL or Samsung S26 Ultra, Mashable's Adam Doud says "Google has added some useful AI features (which isn't always the case), and the powerful main camera beat out the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra in our head-to-head test."
If you've been wanting to make the switch to Google, this limited-time offer from Verizon could be your best opportunity to upgrade for less.
