During Amazon’s October sale, the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL are discounted by $250 or more. The base model Pixel 11 Pro with 256GB of storage is now $849, down from its original price of $1,099. This makes it $50 cheaper than the standard Pixel 11 base model, which sells for $749. Meanwhile, the 256GB Pixel 11 Pro XL is priced at $999, representing a $300 reduction from its usual cost.

The regular Pixel 11 with 256GB storage remains the most affordable option at $749, offering a $150 discount off the normal price. Currently, the Pro models carry only a $100 premium over the standard Pixel 11, compared to the typical $200 difference. The authors note that the superior cameras on the Pro devices are a strong reason to pay the extra cost, citing new camera modes and Magic Capture as key features they praised in previous reviews.

Google has integrated Gemini-assisted features into these phones, including Rambler for smoothing voice texting. However, the review team found that some proactive assistance tools felt somewhat limited. The Pixel 11 Pro is available at Amazon, Google, and Best Buy for $849, while the Pro XL is listed at $999 across these retailers.
