If you were as disappointed as me to see the Pixel 11 Pro and 11 Pro XL released at higher list prices than their predecessors around two and a half months ago with such incredibly familiar designs and virtually unchanged specs as well, the time has come to rejoice and pull the trigger.

That's because Google's latest ultra-high-end handsets are on sale at new record high discounts of 27 percent, finally delivering the kind of bang for your buck that the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Ultra can't rival... at their own regular prices.

If you're on a tighter budget this holiday shopping season, the "vanilla" Pixel 11 is also on sale at a phenomenal discount well before Thanksgiving and Christmas.

$300 off (27%)

Even though Black Friday and Cyber Monday are technically still a few weeks away, you probably shouldn't waste your time waiting any longer for the perfect holiday smartphone deal when the Pixel 11 Pro is already marked down by an unprecedented $300 in all storage variants and color options with no special requirements or strings attached.

$350 off (27%)

If you want your next high-end phone to be as large as possible in addition to as powerful as possible, the 6.8-inch Pixel 11 Pro XL is the way to go right now at a new record high discount of $350. This model packs the same Tensor G6 processor and 50 + 48 + 48MP triple rear-facing camera system as its little brother while obviously bumping up the battery capacity to over 5,100mAh.

27 percent, mind you, equates to $300 slashed off the normal price of a 6.3-inch Pixel 11 Pro with 256 gigs of local digital hoarding room, as well as a whopping 350 bucks knocked off the $1,299 typically charged by major US retailers like Amazon for an entry-level Pixel 11 Pro XL configuration with the same amount of internal storage space.

In case you're wondering, identical $300 and $350 discounts are available for the two phones' 512GB and 1TB variants at the time of this writing, and if you hurry, you can even choose your preferred colorway across the board.

The reason why you may want to hurry, mind you, is that the deals currently offered by Amazon can be claimed through the official US Google Store too, and their expiration date is very clearly specified there. As such, I believe the e-commerce giant is likely to bump the Pixel 11 Pro and 11 Pro XL prices back up to their regular levels on Monday, November 9.

Of course, these early holiday promotions are then essentially guaranteed to return closer to Thanksgiving (possibly, with Black Friday and then Cyber Monday marketing labels all over them), but because I don't expect the discounts to grow any further, I don't see why you'd want to wait and risk ruining your Turkey Day family festivities.

Powered by the same Tensor G6 processor and equipped with 12GB RAM in 256GB storage variants and 16GB RAM in upper-tier models, the Pixel 11 Pro and 11 Pro XL are undoubtedly the pinnacle of Google's mobile phone innovation... so far, shining in practically every department from screen quality to camera performance, battery life, and perhaps most importantly, software support.

Get a free Galaxy A17 with Straight Talk. To claim this deal, you need to pair the phone with activation on a Silver Unlimited Plan or higher. This tier costs $45 per month. Offer valid through 01/10/27 while supplies last online.
