Google Fi phones are designed to work seamlessly with the Google Fi network, and upgrading your device ensures you get the latest features and security updates.

To upgrade your Google Fi phone, you'll need to have a compatible device, which includes the Google Pixel series, Samsung Galaxy series, and a few other models. Check your device's compatibility with Google Fi's website or by contacting their support team.

Google Fi offers various upgrade options, including in-store upgrades, online upgrades, and trade-ins, allowing you to choose the method that suits you best. You can also check your upgrade eligibility and available plans on the Google Fi website.
