Google has chosen fifteen dedicated Pixel Superfans to participate in its exclusive Trusted Tester Program, offering them a unique opportunity to influence the development of future Pixel devices. This initiative allows selected individuals to provide direct feedback on a phone still in development, helping shape its features and performance.
The selection process for the Pixel Superfans ‘Trusted Tester Program’ is governed by specific official rules. Entry does not require any purchase, and buying something will not improve an individual’s chances of being chosen. By entering, participants agree to abide by these rules, which form a legal agreement between them and Google LLC, located at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA.
This contest is open solely to legal residents of the United States and the District of Columbia who are at least eighteen years old. Crucially, only individuals who received a direct email invitation from Google to join the Pixel Superfans US program are eligible to apply. Employees of Google, its affiliates, and their immediate family members are not permitted to enter.
The entry period runs from 9:00 AM Eastern Time on Monday, October 13, 2025, until 11:59 PM ET on Friday, October 17, 2025. To enter, individuals must use the unique link provided in their invitation email to access and complete a Google Form. Each person is limited to a single submission.
The submission itself consists of answers to three key questions. Participants must state how many Pixel devices they have owned, provide detailed feedback on their current Pixel device including potential improvements, and describe one “magic wand” feature they would add and the reason why. A panel of Google judges will evaluate these submissions based on the quality and insightfulness of the responses.
Fifteen winners will be selected from the entries received. It is important to understand that winning this initial contest does not guarantee a spot as a Trusted Tester. Winners will be nominated for a second, more rigorous selection round conducted by the Trusted Tester Team, who will ultimately choose the final fifteen device testers.
Winners will be notified via the email address they provided no later than October 25, 2025. Those not selected will not receive a notification. The prize is strictly a nomination for further consideration; it is not a final selection.
Should an individual successfully become a Trusted Tester, they will be required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before receiving any Google Pixel products for testing. Failure to sign this agreement will result in disqualification from receiving a device.
By submitting an entry, participants grant Google permission to use their name, image, likeness, location, and submission materials to announce winners and for related promotional activities. All submissions must be original, suitable for publication, and must not infringe upon any third-party rights.
Google’s decisions regarding all contest matters are final. Participants agree to receive contest-related emails from Google and acknowledge that their personal data will be handled according to Google’s Privacy Policy. By entering, individuals release Google and its affiliates from any liability associated with the contest, except in cases of gross negligence leading to personal injury or death.
Google retains the right to disqualify any entrant suspected of undermining the contest’s integrity and may cancel, terminate, or modify the contest if necessary. Participant information may be transferred internationally in compliance with Google’s privacy policy, and individuals can request to access or delete their data by contacting Google directly.
Participation implies agreement that any legal claims will be resolved individually, not as a class action, and that awards are limited to actual out-of-pocket expenses, excluding attorney fees. This program is not sponsored, endorsed, or administered by Discord.
