Google wants your tax refund and it’s launching the Pixel 10 range just in time to secure it.
But this year, one telco in particular has offered up a particularly sweet bonus to get customers to sign up with them. So whether you’re an Android aficionado or just really want a free PS5, the Pixel 10 family is now available for pre-order. But how and when can you get your hot little hands on one?

As with every phone launch, each telco offering new devices on a plan has its own bonus to entice customers. And Vodafone has dished up one tempting offer this year.
Simply sign up for the Pixel 10 Pro XL on a Vodafone plan, and you’ll get a free PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition, valued at $749. Unfortunately, if you were interested in any of the other Pixel 10 models, this is the only one available from Vodafone this year.
Check out Vodafone’s Pixel 10 Pro XL plans below:
This offer is available until August 27. Customers will get their PlayStation 5 within 60 days of order confirmation.
Alternatively, Telstra and Optus are also offering select Pixel 10 models on plans, however, both have excluded the Pixel 10 Pro Fold from their pre-orders.
If Optus is the telco for you, it’s offering a $600 discount on the three devices currently available, which works out to be a saving of $16.67 per month on a 36-month plan.
Telstra has a similar deal going, but the discount is slightly smaller at just $500. That works out to be a saving of $13.88 per month on a 36-month plan.

When do pre-orders start for the Pixel 10 range?
Pre-orders begin on August 21 for all four phones. The Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL can be bought right off the shelves from August 28, but if you’re after the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, this will arrive on October 9.
What is the pricing for the Pixel 10 range?
This year’s models are tipped to be on par with last year’s pricing, which is a huge relief. The starting price for a 128GB Pixel 10 unit remains steady at $1,349. The 128GB Pixel 10 Pro starts at $1,699, while the 256GB Pixel 10 Pro XL starts at $1,999. That’s the same price as a 256GB Pixel 9 Pro XL, however, this year Google has dropped the 128GB variant for the XL. Finally, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is still priced from $2,699.
