The Galaxy S26 is likely to drop any week now, but it's not the only game in town if you're looking for a high-end Android device. For example, have you considered the excellent Google Pixel 10 Pro XL?

This flagship device is currently free with a new unlimited data line at T-Mobile, which is, in my opinion, is the standout deal on the entire carrier's site right now. Unlike the current deals on the higher-end Samsung devices, no trade-ins are needed for this particular promotion, which makes it a very strong option.

We're also massive fans of the Pixel 10 Pro XL, too. Not to persuade you away from Samsung and into the dark side, but we scored it an impressive four and a half stars out of five when we reviewed it last year. It's a device that compares very favorably to the Galaxy S25 range, with a stunning 6.8-inch display and some of the best cameras we've ever tested on a smartphone.

T-Mobile's current deal on the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL is so good, it might just tempt you into an early upgrade. Unlike many other flagship devices, no trade-ins are currently needed to get this high-end device for free with a new unlimited line. Note, however, because of this device's hefty price tag, you will require a line on one of the pricier plans to be eligible, although that's very much par for the course with these promotions.
