Prices move; these were read on 2026-10-05. Used and trade-in figures are CeX's own, for an unlocked handset at this device's base storage. CeX prices each colour separately, so a grade shows as the range across them. The eBay figure is the middle of the used listings on sale that day — what sellers are asking, not what anyone paid. We hold no stock and take no commission.

Basis: Maker commitment, via endoflife.date

endoflife.date records OS EOL and security support both as 2026-10-01 for Pixel 6. Google's hardware spec page at launch stated five years of Pixel updates. These dates are Google's published window as recorded by endoflife.date, not a prediction of when updates will actually stop.
