How to preorder every new Google Pixel device - and the best deals I found

We've got the scoop on where you can preorder the latest Google devices announced at Made by Google, including the Pixel 11 lineup and the Pixel Watch 5.

Google unveiled several new devices at its Made by Google event, including the Google Pixel 11 phone lineup, the Google Pixel Watch 5, and a new Bluetooth tracker called the Pixel Tag. Preorders for all these devices began today, with official sales starting on Thursday, Aug. 20. Despite the excitement, there are several preorder deals that savvy shoppers should take advantage of.

Google's Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL feature new specifications like the Google Tensor G6 chip for improved AI performance, additional storage options, and a unique HiLight feature that changes the color of the LED light on the camera bar based on incoming calls. The Pixel 11 Pro starts at $1,099, while the Pro XL begins at $1,199.

To sweeten the deal, Google is offering customers up to $600 in savings when they trade in eligible devices for the Pixel 11 Pro preorder. Amazon Prime members can also get a $100 gift card when preordering the Pixel 11 on Amazon. Verizon customers can even get a free Pixel 11 Pro (256GB) with a monthly Simple Pro plan, with the option to upgrade to newer Pixel models annually through trade-ins.

Other retailers, such as Amazon, Best Buy, T-Mobile, and Verizon, are offering their own incentive programs for Pixel device preorders. Trade-in values vary, but some deals allow customers to receive up to $900 off the Pixel 11 series smartphone. So, whether you're a Google Pixel fan or simply looking to score a great phone deal, now is the time to preorder and explore the available offers.
