Vodafone AU's handing out free PS5s with every Pixel 11 Pro XL preorder – but you'll need to get in super quick

The PS5 has seen multiple price increases in Australia since launching in 2020 and has rarely been discounted — this Pixel 11 preorder deal could be the phone upgrade you’ve been waiting for.

Vodafone AU's handing out free PS5s with every Pixel 11 Pro XL preorder – but you'll need to get in super quick

Vodafone Australia is offering a unique deal to pre-order the Google Pixel 11 Pro XL, giving away a Sony PlayStation 5 Slim console and an extra DualSense controller free of charge. This promotion runs until August 19, making it a great opportunity for gamers and tech enthusiasts alike. For a 36-month contract, the cost starts at AU$103.30 per month, making it an affordable option.

The Pixel 11 Pro XL is available in three colours - Canyon, Olive, and Obsidian, with the 512GB model only in Obsidian. The device boasts an upgraded Tensor G6 chipset, a brighter display with 3,600 nits peak brightness, and a new LED notification light called HiLight. The cameras have also received a boost, with a new sensor designed for low-light performance and a zoom capability of up to 120x.

The main downside is that the base 256GB model only includes 12GB of RAM, down from 16GB in the previous year's model. Despite this, the bundled PS5 console and monthly payment option make this a compelling choice for anyone looking to upgrade their phone and gaming console.
