A little known Vodafone Business perk means millions of sole traders and small business owners can get free battery upgrades on the new Google Pixel 10 Pro.
Over three million phone users can get free battery upgrades on one of the world’s best smartphones completely free.
Anybody in the UK who is classed as a sole trader or a small business can access mobile phone deals not usually available to the public. It means millions of people who file self-assessment taxes can actually get better phone plans with more perks than are widely available.
Vodafone Business, which offers phone deals for sole traders and small businesses, is selling the new Google Pixel 10 Pro with plenty of perks that could appeal to over three million self-employed and small business workers in the UK.
Anybody who is registered as a sole trader can access the deals and Vodafone Business says the Pixel 10 Pro comes with a lifetime warranty for damage to the phone when it is a manufacturer fault as well as free battery upgrades if the battery fails a health check.
Vodafone Business says: “Don’t worry about your battery letting you down, we’ll replace a tired battery if it needs it. Simply use our Battery Refresh Tool to check your battery health, and if it shows that it’s struggling to keep up, we'll replace it. Visit us in store and we'll send your phone off to have its battery replaced - free of charge.”
The Google Pixel 10 Pro is the tech company’s answer to top of the range smartphones such as the iPhone 17 Pro Max and Samsung S25 Ultra. The Google option appeals to business owners and sole traders because it is integrated into Google Workspace and has the processing power to use spreadsheets, powerpoints and more on the go.
The Pixel 10 Pro comes with superfast charging and 5G connectivity and it also packs in a professional camera setup that can capture notes, presentations, or creative content with crystal clarity.
Vodafone Business is selling the Google Pixel 10 Pro on a 36-month contract but it can be upgraded early as part of the deal.
