Google is handing out a surprise 30% discount on the Pixel 11 series

Google is offering a surprise 30% discount on its Pixel 11 series smartphones to subscribers of the Google AI Pro service in the United States. The discount applies to the Pixel 11, Pixel 11a, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and even the foldable Pixel 11 Pro Fold. This comes as smartphone prices have risen significantly this year due to increasing component costs, causing manufacturers to pass those increases on to consumers.

Google's Pixel 11 series, which was launched at a $100 higher starting price than its predecessor, is now being offered at a discounted price to attract more customers. Subscribers also receive an additional 10% store credit when purchasing a Pixel 11 through this offer, which can be used for future purchases. The discount and credit are only available for those in the U.S., and only subscribers of the Google AI Pro plan or the free Gemini tier qualify for the offer.
