Google's Pixel 11 lineup, Pixel Watch 5, and new Pixel Tag tracker are all available for preorder starting today, August 12. Devices ship August 20. The carrier deals vary wildly, with AT&T offering a free Pixel 11 Pro for any old Pixel trade-in while Google caps its trade-in credit at $600. Here's how to find the best price for each model.
Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL: which retailer wins?
The Pixel 11 Pro starts at $1,099 and the Pro XL at $1,199. Both include Google's Tensor G6 chip, expanded storage options, and the new HiLight feature that lights up the camera bar LED in different colors based on who's calling.
AT&T has the most aggressive deal. Trade in any Pixel device from any year, in any condition, and the Pixel 11 Pro or Pro XL is free. That's a broken Pixel 3 for a $1,199 phone. The catch: you're locked into an AT&T plan.
T-Mobile offers up to $1,000 off with a qualified trade-in on an Experience Plan. Verizon takes a different approach: sign up for a Simplicity Pro plan at $80/month and the 256GB Pixel 11 Pro is free, with annual upgrade eligibility.
Amazon and Best Buy both offer $200 gift cards with preorders. Google's own store maxes out at $600 trade-in credit. If you're not switching carriers, the gift card deals deliver more immediate value than Google's direct option.

Standard Pixel 11: where to preorder
The base Pixel 11 starts at $899, a $100 increase over last year. It gets the same Tensor G6 chip as the Pro models and more base storage. For buyers who don't need the Pro's camera extras, this is the value pick.
Google offers up to $500 trade-in credit when you preorder directly. Amazon gives a $100 gift card with no trade-in required. Best Buy has similar gift card offers. For the standard model, Amazon's no-strings gift card beats Google's conditional trade-in if your current phone isn't worth much.
The hidden deal: Google's email coupon
Google is sending coupons worth up to $250 off to people who signed up for preorder news. Click "Sign up" on the Pixel 11 banner on Google's store page. The coupon arrives via email and stacks with trade-in credits. If you haven't signed up yet, do it before you preorder.
Pixel Watch 5 and Pixel Tag
The Pixel Watch 5 and the new Pixel Tag Bluetooth tracker also went up for preorder today. The source didn't include specific retailer deals for these devices, but they're available at Google, Amazon, and Best Buy.

Which deal should you take?
If you're an existing carrier customer with an old Pixel: AT&T's any-condition trade-in is unbeatable. T-Mobile's $1,000 credit comes close but requires a "qualified" trade-in, which usually means a recent model in good shape.
If you're carrier-agnostic: Verizon's Simplicity Pro plan at $80/month gets you a free 256GB Pro and annual upgrades. Over 24 months that's $1,920 in service fees for a $1,099 phone with trade-in rights. Do the math against your current plan.
If you just want unlocked: grab Google's email coupon, stack it with trade-in credit, and order direct. Or take Amazon's gift card if your trade-in device is worth less than $100.
Logicity's Take
The carrier math gets complicated fast. AT&T's "any Pixel, any condition" trade-in sounds too good, and it probably requires a 36-month installment agreement. T-Mobile's Experience Plan and Verizon's Simplicity Pro both lock you in for years. For business users managing device fleets or MDM policies, the unlocked Google Store route with stacked coupons offers the cleanest total cost of ownership, even if the upfront price is higher.
