The Verge ·

Google's Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL smartphones are receiving substantial discounts of $250 and $300 respectively during Amazon's October sale. This pricing shift is particularly significant because the Pro model is now only $100 more expensive than the standard Pixel 11 (compared to its usual $200 premium), making the upgrade considerably more attractive for buyers prioritising camera quality.

The Pixel 11 Pro with 256GB storage is now priced at $849, down from $1,099, whilst the Pro XL costs $999. The standard Pixel 11 has also been reduced to $749. Google's latest flagship phones have received praise for their new camera modes and Magic Capture feature, though reviews were mixed regarding AI-assisted capabilities provided by Gemini, such as the Rambler voice texting tool.
