ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services.

Google just unveiled its new flagship Pixel 11 series, including the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. The phones include upgrades to the processor, cameras, and storage, making them a worthy upgrade for Pixel fans.
Right now at Verizon, you can find several offers on the Pixel 11 Pro. If you sign up for a Simplicity Pro plan for $80 a month, you'll get the Pixel 11 Pro (256GB) for free, and you'll be able to upgrade to the latest Pixel model each year with a trade-in. Or, you can get a line on the Simplicity plan and get the Pixel 11 Pro for $45 per month total -- that's $15 for the device, and $30 for the plan -- for four years, with no trade-in required.

For existing Verizon customers, if you sign up for a new line on an eligible myPlan and trade in your old phone, you can get up to $1,100 off the Pixel 11 series, potentially covering the full cost of the phone. To take this route, you'll need to purchase your device on a 36-month payment plan, and Verizon will cover the cost through monthly promotional credits applied over the 36 months. To qualify for this deal, your eligible trade-in phone must be active on your Verizon account for at least 60 days before you purchase the new phone.
Existing customers on an eligible myPlan can also trade in an eligible phone to receive up to $900 off the Pixel 11 line, again by purchasing the new device on a 36-month payment plan and getting the cost covered through monthly credits applied over that time. Your trade-in device can be from Apple, Samsung, Google, or Motorola, and must have been active on your account for at least 60 days.
