Google's new phones are available for pre-order now.

The second-generation Google Pixel phones are now available to order from the Google Store and select carriers. The bottom line is that while the Pixel 2 mirrors that price of its predecessor at $649 in the United States, the $849 starting price for the Pixel 2 XL is $100 more expensive than last year.

Verizon Wireless is the exclusive carrier partner in the U.S., and both phones will be sold on EE in the UK.

Here's how they break down by country and carrier.

United StatesGoogle Store

The Google Store is probably your best bet if you want the plain jane Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL, unlocked and ready to go on any of the major U.S. carriers.

In the U.S., a 64GB Pixel 2 will set you back $649 outright, or $27.04 monthly when purchased through Google's financing program. That raises to $749 for a 128GB model ($31.21 per month on financing) if you want 128GB of storage.

The Pixel 2 XL starts at $849 with 64GB of storage ($35.38/month on financing), or $949 for 128GB ($39.54/month on financing).

The Pixel 2 is available in three colors: Kinda Blue, Just Black, or Clearly White. The Pixel 2 XL is available in Just Black, and Black & White.

Verizon

Verizon is the exclusive U.S. carrier for the Pixel 2 series, and the pricing is fairly similar to that of the Google Store.

You can get the Pixel 2 in all three colors starting at $27.08 per month for 24 months with zero down. You can only get the Pixel 2 in 64GB - which costs $649.99 outright.

The Pixel 2 XL comes in both colors and both storage sizes, and starts at $35.41 per month for 24 months with zero down for 64GB, rising to $39.58 per month for 128GB. It's $849.99/$949.99 outright.

Anyone who ordered the Pixel 2 or 2 XL before October 18 got a free Google Home Mini shipped within 2-4 weeks from the time of purchase. Verizon is also offering up to $300 back when trading in one of several relatively new phones, including the iPhone 7 and Galaxy S8. Not a great deal, but it's there. These deals must be done through the My Verizon app.

The Pixel 2 ships on October 19; the Pixel 2 XL ships on November 1.

Project Fi

The Pixel 2 is also available through Project Fi, which offers both phones at the same monthly prices as the Google Store.

The nice thing about ordering through Project Fi is that the Pixel 2's embedded eSIM allows the phone to be activated without purchasing a separate SIM card - it just works once you sign on. As far as we know, you can buy the phone from Google directly and sign up for Fi later, but when buying from Fi the phone comes pre-loaded with the proper software.
