Where to pre-order Pixel 11 series: $350 gift cards, $1,000 trade-in, more
Google just launched the Pixel 11 series with a few shiny new features – literally. All four Pixel 11 devices are available for pre-order, during which some of the best deals come out.
Google’s Pixel 11 series comes in the same arrangement as last year’s release lineup. The Pixel 11 is the base model, with a similarly sized upgraded version in the Pixel 11 Pro. The Pixel 11 Pro XL is the largest option in a slab phone with Pro-level specs. The Pixel 11 Pro Fold acts as the outlier as an option for those who want a little more screen real estate on Google’s hardware.
Pre-orders start today, and the options available are surprisingly reasonable. Even though the Pixel 11 Pro XL and Pixel 11 Pro Fold have jumped in price, Google and other stores are offering boosted trade-ins for users willing to part with an old phone.
Even without a trade-in, some of these deals are hard to pass up.
Google sets the tone for some of the other popular retailers that have the Pixel 11 available for pre-order. That tone is rather upbeat, as Google’s trade-in offers are surprisingly good this year. For instance, you can trade your Pixel 10 Pro for the new Pixel 11 Pro, and expect to get at least $500 back. It doesn’t exactly cover the cost of your device, but it puts a pretty big dent in the cost.
On top of trade-ins, Google lists an instant $100 off the Pixel 11 and up to $350 off the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. You have the option of choosing an instant credit or bundling the phone with the Pixel Watch 5, which offers discounts according to the device. The Pixel 11 can be combined with the new watch for $130 off, or $250 off with the Pixel 11 Pro or Pro XL. If you get the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, the Pixel Watch 5 is free.
Trade estimates from Best Buy seem to be on par with Google, but cross-shopping between the two might be a good play, considering each device might be a little different from site to site. It looks like trading a Pixel 10 Pro nets you a $600 refund on the Pixel 11 or Pixel 11 Pro. That’s slightly higher than Google’s estimate. The website currently notes there’s a $700 limit on trade-ins for the Pixel 11 and a $1,000 limit for other models.
As for deals without complication, Best Buy makes a good case.
The Pixel 11 comes with a $100 gift card, while the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL include a $200 credit for use at the store’s physical and online sites. The Pixel 11 Pro Fold comes with a $350 credit.
It doesn’t look like there are any bundle deals to add the Pixel Watch 5 to your cart.
