Pre-orders are open for Google’s new devices and you are likely on the hunt for the best deal. Unlike Samsung, Google is actually running pretty steep discounts, adding store credit, and giving you a free0 Pixel Watch 5 if you want one with your Pixel 11.
The best Pixel 11 pre-order deals we are seeing so far are from the Google Store. Google is giving instant trade-in discounts (like Samsung does) up to $1,000 off, up to $350 in store credit to spend on other stuff, and/or free or 50% Pixel Watch 5 units. Also, you can use that exclusive pre-order code that Google sent out last night to further stack the discounts.
Let’s break this all down for you.
$1000 off Pixel 11 Pro pre-orders
The biggest discount you’ll find is going to be from your trade-in. Google is juicing trade-in values during this pre-order period and if you have a Pixel phone, they’ll give you quite a bit of money off. They’ll also potentially make it an instant discount that comes off the price today with your trade being confirmed later.
At this moment, we’re seeing $1,000 off as the top instant trade-in discount if you give Google a Pixel 10 Pro Fold. You can also save $700 off with a Pixel 10 Pro XL or Pixel 9 Pro Fold. From there, we’re down to $600 off with a Pixel 10 Pro. Google does not appear to care how much storage your device has and has set the same value for all versions of a phone. The full list of trade values through the Pixel 8 is below.
- $1,000 off: Pixel 10 Pro Fold
- $700 off: Pixel 10 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro Fold
- $600 off: Pixel 10 Pro
- $550 off: Pixel 9 Pro XL
- $500 off: Pixel 10, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel Fold
- $460 off: Pixel 8 Pro
- $430 off: Pixel 9
- $380 off: Pixel 8, Pixel 7 Pro
- $300 off: Pixel 9a
And again, these should be instant trade-in credits for many of you. That works by you telling Google which phone you have to trade, them giving you an instant discount, and then Google confirming that you weren’t lying when you send your trade-in back after your new phone arrives. It’s the same system that Samsung uses and it is awesome.
Exclusive pre-order offer: $250 off
For those of you who pre-registered on the Google Store for the “exclusive” Pixel 11 launch offer and received your promo last night, you can stack that discount on top of the trade-in discount. We have a write-up on that discount here.
Some of those discounts reached $250 off, while a good number of us got $100 off. During checkout, you can apply the code that Google gave you to stack that discount on top of the trade-in discount. Depending on who you are, you could save $1,250 off a Pixel 11 Pro.
Free or 50% off Pixel Watch 5
To further sweeten this pre-order deal for the Pixel 11 Pro devices, Google wants you to pick-up a new Pixel Watch 5 with your order.
As you walk through checkout of your new phone, you’ll see offers for the Pixel Watch 5 just before adding your Pixel 11 Pro to cart. The offer varies depending on phone, but if you buy a Pixel 11 Pro or Pixel 11 Pro XL, Google will give you up to $250 off or a 50% off discount. If you buy a Pixel 11 Pro Fold, they’ll just give you a Pixel Watch 5 for free.
$350 in Google Store credit
If you don’t want a Pixel Watch 5, Google will substitute that offer with Google Store credit. Currently, you can get $200 in credit if you buy a Pixel 11 Pro or Pixel 11 Pro XL. If you go with a Pixel 11 Pro Fold, you’ll get $350 in Google Store credit.
You can use that credit to buy accessories like cases or almost anything else they sell.
Recapping here, you’ll want to trade-in a phone to get an instant discount, select your Pixel Watch 5 or credit offer, and then apply that exclusive Google Store promo code at checkout to get the biggest discount.
The image above showcases this in action, with me trading in a Pixel 10 Pro ($600 value), choosing the $200 store credit, and getting a bonus $100 off with yesterday’s promo code. I would end up paying just $399 today for a Pixel 11 Pro.
