The base model <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H832JH4Z">Pixel 11 Pro with 256GB</a> of storage is only $849 (originally $1,099), $50 <em>lower </em>than the usual price for the base Pixel 11, while the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H8387SYN">256GB 11 Pro XL is $999</a>, a $300 price break. </p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Even the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H836MLYT">regular <strong>Pixel 11</strong> with 256GB of storage</a> is cheaper, selling at $749, $150 off the normal price. But with the Pro at just a $100 premium over the Pixel 11 right now instead of $200, its superior cameras alone is a pretty convincing reason to spend more.</p> <div class="product-block"><h3>Google Pixel 11 Pro</h3> <figure class="product-image"><img width="300" height="200" src="https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/08/Google-Pixel-11-Pro-review-photos-6.jpg?w=300" class="attachment-medium size-medium" alt="" /></figure> <h3>Where to Buy:</h3><ul><li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Google-Pixel-11-Pro-Smartphone/dp/B0H82XM1S2?ref_=ast_sto_dp&amp;th=1"> <strike>$1099</strike> $849 at <strong>Amazon</strong></a></li><li><a href="https://store.google.com/config/pixel_11_pro"> <strike>$1099</strike> $899 at <strong>Google</strong></a></li><li><a href="https://www.bestbuy.com/product/google-pixel-11-pro-256gb-unlocked-obsidian/J39TC8239J/sku/6684520"> <strike>$1099</strike> $849 at <strong>Best Buy</strong></a></li></ul></div> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">We praised the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL for their new camera modes, as well as the Magic Capture mode. We liked some of the Gemini-assisted features, like Rambler for smoothing out voice texting, but others, like proactive assistance, felt a bit more narrow.</p> <h5 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://www.theverge.com/tech/981713/google-pixel-11-pro-review">Read our Pixel 11 Pro review</a> and our <a href="https://www.theverge.com/tech/982190/google-pixel-11-review">Pixel 11 review</a>.</h5> <div id="hype-desk-root"></div> window.HYPE_DESK_CONFIG = { productImageUrl: "https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/09/ChatGPT-Image-Sep-16-2026-12_50_24-PM.png", productImageAlt: "Roborock F25 Steam", productTitle: "Roborock F25 Steam", shortDescription: "A wet-dry floor cleaner combining high-temperature steam with powerful suction for sticky messes, stains, and pet hair.", longDescription: "When unexpected messes happen, F25 Steam is ready to clean them instantly — especially in high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms.
