Google appears poised to announce a brand new subscription bundle referred to as “Pixel Pass,” which might mix a brand new Pixel machine with an prolonged guarantee and premium subscriptions for a number of Google providers. The unconfirmed bundle has been detailed in a leaked picture published by Brandon Lee. It’s unclear how a lot Pixel Pass would value, however the paperwork counsel it will likely be bought by way of Google Fi and the Google Store alongside the acquisition of a Pixel machine.

As Lee notes, Pixel Pass seems to mix parts of Apple’s iPhone Upgrade program (which provides an iPhone by way of month-to-month subscription funds alongside an prolonged guarantee) and its Apple One subscription providers bundle. Pixel Pass might be pitched as a solution to simplify entry to all these providers in addition to providing the peace of thoughts of an prolonged guarantee. Pixel Pass may also provide a reduction in comparison with paying for the providers individually, although there’s at present no indication of how a lot Pixel Pass may cost.

From the paperwork, it appears Pixel Pass will mix as much as 4 subscriptions: YouTube Premium or YouTube Music, Google One, Play Pass, and Google Fi. These providers cowl video and music streaming, cloud storage, an app subscription bundle, and cellular community protection. There’s no point out of Google Stadia, the search large’s cloud recreation streaming service.

The leak means that the prolonged machine guarantee will operate equally to Google’s current Preferred Care or Device Protection providers, which supply safety in opposition to unintended and mechanical breakdown injury. Currently, Preferred Care is barely out there within the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico, whereas Device Protection is barely supplied with the US-only Google Fi service. This suggests Pixel Pass could be a North America-only possibility.

There’s no point out of which Pixel telephones the Pixel Pass shall be supplied with. But given the Pixel 6 occasion is approaching October nineteenth, it appears probably that Pixel Pass shall be launched as an accompaniment for the brand new flagship smartphone.
