Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL phones drop by $250 during Amazon sale

The Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL are discounted by $250 or more during Amazon's October sale. The base model Pixel 11 Pro with 256GB of storage is priced at $849. That is a reduction from its original $1,099 cost. This price is $50 lower than the usual price for the base Pixel 11. The 256GB Pixel 11 Pro XL is available for $999. That represents a $300 price break. Even the regular Pixel 11 with 256GB of storage is cheaper. It sells at $749, which is $150 off the normal price.

The current pricing narrows the gap between the standard and Pro models. The Pixel 11 Pro now carries a $100 premium over the Pixel 11. Previously, that gap was $200. The superior cameras on the Pro model serve as a convincing reason to spend more at this price point. Amazon lists the Pixel 11 Pro at $849. Google sells the same model for $899. Best Buy also offers it for $849.

Previous coverage praised the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL for their new camera modes, including the Magic Capture mode. Reviewers liked some Gemini-assisted features, such as Rambler for smoothing out voice texting. Other features, like proactive assistance, were described as feeling a bit more narrow.
