Google cuts Pixel AI Pro trial to six months, offers Pixel 10 deal

However, customers purchasing the Pixel 10 before October 31st, 2026, can still redeem the full year-long trial. The Google AI Pro service includes features like 5TB of storage, advanced Gemini access, and Workspace AI integration, with the trial's reduction attributed to rising memory and AI infrastructure costs across the industry.
