If you like big phones and you cannot lie, the time may have come to get the 6.8-inch Pixel 11 Pro XL. Yes, I know it can be... risky to do your holiday shopping this early, but at $350 off its list price, Google's latest gargantuan Android flagship doesn't appear to leave a lot of room for buyer's remorse.

Now, I obviously can't guarantee that a better deal will not surface in a few weeks as part of a major US retailer's official Black Friday or Cyber Monday campaign, but I seriously doubt that's going to happen. And the reasons are very simple. Number one, this is still an extremely new handset, having initially gone on sale stateside just a little over two months ago.

The Galaxy S26 Plus is almost as big, almost as impressive, and almost as affordable as the Pixel 11 Pro XL at its own latest discount, thus looking like a very interesting alternative to consider right now.

With a large and ultra-high-quality 6.8-inch LTPO OLED screen in tow, a 50 + 48 + 48MP triple rear-facing camera system, Tensor G6 processing power, 12GB RAM, and 5,115mAh battery capacity, the Pixel 11 Pro XL is obviously not cheap, but for an undoubtedly limited time only, it's cheaper than ever before at Amazon with no strings attached.

Secondly, you're clearly and objectively looking at one of the best Android phones in the world right now, with not just a large and undeniably beautiful 120Hz refresh rate-capable OLED screen in tow, but three awesome cameras on its back, 12GB RAM under the hood, and a fittingly hefty 5,115mAh battery promising to keep the lights on for hours and hours before needing to get a recharge at up to a 45W speed.

There's also the general state of the mobile industry to consider, as this is probably the worst time to hope for significant discounts to be offered by device manufacturers and their biggest retail partners. And that brings me to just how generous this sizzling hot new Amazon deal is, beating all previous Pixel 11 Pro XL price cuts by at least 50 bucks... and requiring no Prime membership or anything of that sort.

Yes, you can slash a massive $350 off the $1,299, $1,419, and $1,649 list prices of this bad boy in its 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage configurations respectively without jumping through any hoops whatsoever, and if you hurry, you can even choose your favorite colorway (regardless of how much local digital hoarding room you think you need).

The Pixel 11 Pro XL is naturally costlier than the Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro at the time of this writing, but at least for the time being, it's cheaper than Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra and thus pretty hard to turn down... for the right type of user and early holiday shopper.
