Google Store Sends Motorola Razr Instead of Pixel 10, Prompting Charge Dispute After 18 Days

A Google Store buyer said a Pixel 10 ordered on May 9 arrived on May 14 as a 2025 Motorola Razr, derailing a planned Pixel 7 trade-in.
Google support allegedly kept repeating that updates would come within 24 to 72 hours, but the customer said repeated emails and a later phone call produced no fix.
After 18 days without resolution, the buyer disputed the charge with their credit card company, saying they no longer expected Google to solve the problem.
Reddit users suggested either a warehouse fulfillment mix-up or a device swap somewhere in the delivery chain, though no cause has been confirmed.
The incident lands awkwardly for Google as Pixel and Motorola Razr phones are increasingly compared by Android buyers, underscoring risks in direct online phone orders.
