Google’s Pixel 11 is cheaper ahead of iPhone 18 Pro launch

Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro will release this Friday, September 18th, and it’s tough to see it as just a coincidence that Google’s latest Pixel phones are discounted. The Pixel 11 Pro carries the biggest discount, with its fog, olive, and obsidian color schemes selling for around $1,007 at Amazon, almost negating this year’s $100 price increase for the starter configuration despite having twice the storage (256GB).

The standard Pixel 11 is cheaper, too, selling for about $840 at Amazon, $60 off its starting price. It’s nice to see the price come down, making it a little less pricey to get access to Google’s Pixel 11-exclusive features, including Camera Looks and Magic Capture. This model has the same processor and amount of RAM as the cheapest Pixel 11 Pro (the cameras are the biggest difference).

The price drops continue all the way to the bottom of Google’s current Pixel series, the Pixel 10A. Originally $499 for the phone with the Pixel 9’s Tensor G4 processor, it’s back down to $424 at Amazon and Best Buy. We see this price return from time to time, and it’s worth considering whether you need an upgrade from an older A-series phone, or if you’re considering leaving the flagship phone lifestyle behind to save some money.
