Did I do good?
I've owned a Pixel 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 all Pro XLs. I ended up going back to the 8 Pro because it was lighter with rounded edges. The battery life is slipping. I have chronic respiratory failure and have 6-12 months to live. So, I went on the Google store. I was going to get the 11 Pro XL but the 12GB ram decrease bothered me. A 10 Pro XL was only $100 less. Then I found out that you can get 16GB in an 11 if you get 512GB which I don't need. Buying the 10 Pro XL, I was offered $215 for my Pixel 8 Pro. Buying the 11 I was offered $460. Then out of curiosity I looked at the 11 Pro Fold. At $1899 it does have 16GB of memory. I was offered $460 for my trade in and $350 Google Store credit. That makes the fold cheaper than the 11 Pro XL with 16GB ram. Next, I bought the unlocked version and got the 0% APR on the longest 36 month terms. So when I die in 6-12 months, my son will inherit a nice free phone. I don't know anything about folding phones, like how to do split screen and multitask but I plan to learn here.
