Google’s brand new Pixel 10 series is officially coming to T-Mobile, and the carrier is rolling out some seriously good deals to get customers on board. If you’ve been waiting to upgrade your phone, this might be the perfect time to make the jump.

According to T-Mobile’s announcement, the new lineup includes the standard Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, the foldable Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and the Pixel Watch 4. What makes this launch special isn’t just the phones themselves – it’s the combination of aggressive pricing and a unique feature that lets you use certain Google apps even when you’re completely off the grid.

The standout feature here is T-Mobile’s satellite service working with these new Pixels. Basically, if you’re hiking in the mountains or camping somewhere with zero cell coverage, you’ll still be able to use Google Maps, send messages, and share your location. Think of it as having a backup internet connection that works through satellites instead of cell towers. T-Mobile customers with these new phones get early access to this satellite feature starting August 28.

Now for the deals that’ll actually save you money. T-Mobile is offering the Pixel 10 completely free when you add a new line or trade in an eligible phone on most plans – even their cheapest Essentials plan. If you want the fancier Pixel 10 Pro, you can get that free too, but you’ll need to be on one of their premium plans and trade in a qualifying device. For customers who don’t want to trade anything in, you’re still looking at up to $1,000 off any phone in the series.

Pre-orders start today, and you’ll be able to walk into stores or order online starting August 28. The Pixel Watch 4 and the new foldable phone will arrive a bit later on October 9. If you’re a UScellular customer (which T-Mobile recently acquired), you’ll get access to these phones too, with discounts ranging from $300 to $450 depending on which model you choose.

The regular Pixel 10 starts at $800 for the base model, while the Pro versions climb up to $1,200 for the Pro XL. T-Mobile is offering their usual payment plans with no money down and no interest if you qualify. All the promotional deals come as bill credits spread over 24 months, so you’ll see the savings gradually rather than all at once.

What’s particularly interesting about this launch is how T-Mobile is positioning the satellite features as a premium benefit. While other carriers focus on basic emergency messaging via satellite, T-Mobile is promising access to actual apps like Google Maps when you’re in the middle of nowhere. For people who spend time outdoors or travel to rural areas frequently, this could be a genuine game-changer.

The timing also coincides with T-Mobile’s broader push to differentiate itself through unique perks and services rather than just competing on price. Between the satellite connectivity, the free streaming services, and now these aggressive phone deals, they’re clearly trying to give customers reasons to stick around beyond just having good network coverage.
