The much-anticipated Google Pixel 11 series officially hit the market this Thursday, with Amazon offering exciting pre-order promotions that are still available. Customers can benefit from Amazon gift cards and enhanced trade-in bonuses that vary by model.
Trade-In Bonuses for Pixel 11 Models
This week, trade-in values have seen a notable increase, now reaching up to $250 across all four Pixel 11 models. For instance, the standard Pixel 11 comes with a trade-in bonus of $324. Meanwhile, the Pro and Pro XL versions offer a more substantial $425 trade-in bonus. Additionally, the foldable model also qualifies for a $425 trade-in bonus, alongside the option for either a $350 gift card or a complimentary Pixel Watch 5.
Google Pixel Watch 5 Availability
It’s worth noting that the Google Pixel Watch 5 does not come with any additional perks. Prospective buyers can also explore various carrier deals available for both the Pixel 11 series and the Pixel Watch 5.
Upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 FE Reveal
In other news, Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy S26 FE will be unveiled next Thursday. As we await this launch, it seems the Galaxy S25 FE is being overlooked due to a lack of compelling offers. However, the Galaxy A37 and A57 models are being positioned as more affordable alternatives to the upcoming FE series. For those who are undecided between these two models, a comprehensive comparison is available for review.
Alternatives in the Smartphone Market
With OnePlus stepping back, options among mainstream smartphone brands are limited. Nevertheless, Nothing remains a contender with its offerings, including the Nothing Phone (3) and the Phone (4a) Pro. The Phone (3) is equipped with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, while the (4a) Pro features a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4. Both models boast impressive camera specifications, featuring 50MP main cameras, albeit with slight variations in sensor size and telephoto capabilities.
Similar to the Pixel phones, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold8, Z Fold8 Ultra, and Z Flip8 are also available with enticing trade-in bonuses and gift card offers. For those interested in a detailed comparison, we recently published a video comparing the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Z Fold8 Ultra, along with a written version for further insights.
Overall, the launch of the Pixel 11 series and the upcoming Samsung reveal highlight an exciting time in the smartphone market, filled with attractive deals and competitive offerings.
