Canadian Google Store won’t have 512GB Pixel 7 Pro ‘right now’

Google’s new Pixel 7 Pro comes in three storage sizes, but Canadians will only get access to two.

The search giant confirmed to MobileSyrup that the 512GB Pixel 7 Pro won’t be on the Google Store “right now.” It’s unclear when, or even if, it will come to the Canadian store in the future.

That leaves Canadians with a choice between the $1,179 128GB Pixel 7 Pro or the $1,309 256GB.

While for me, 128GB of storage remains more than enough, the lack of 512GB may be a real bummer for some. For example, if you take a ton of photos or videos, you may run into the limits of the smaller storage sizes much faster.

The Pixel 7 is likewise available in 128GB and 256GB, but it doesn’t have a 512GB variant.

Canadian Google Store offering worse trade-in values than U.S. Store

Canadians eager to pre-order Google’s new Pixel 7 or 7 Pro may find themselves underwhelmed by the company’s trade-in offers, especially compared to the U.S. Google Store.

As pointed out by some MobileSyrup readers, Google is offering higher trade-in values for devices in the U.S. than in Canada. For example, the Pixel 6 Pro nets a $350 CAD trade-in value, but in the U.S., it’s $480 USD (about $658 CAD).

Moreover, the U.S. Google Store offers up to $750 off any Pixel 7 phone with qualifying trade-ins, further pumping up the value. The only promotion available for the Pixel 7/7 Pro in Canada so far is a $200 Google Store credit towards another purchase, but the U.S. Store also offers that promo.

Some other trade-in value estimates can be found below (based on trading in for a 128GB Pixel 7 Pro):

  • Pixel 6: $290 CAD | $440 USD ($603 CAD)
  • Pixel 5: $213 CAD | $400 USD ($548 CAD)
  • Galaxy S22+: $430 CAD | $600 USD ($823 CAD)
  • iPhone 13 Pro: $540 CAD | $625 USD ($857 CAD)

While it’s not a huge surprise that Google offers different promotions in different regions, it seems strange that there’s such a wide difference in trade-in values for the same phones in different regions. MobileSyrup has asked Google Canada about the differences and will add any additional information the company provides to this story.

In the meantime, it may be worth checking out trade-in offers from other places to see if you can get better value for your old devices elsewhere. Check out MobileSyrup’s guide to trade-ins in Canada here.
