The Made by Google event has concluded, and the Google Pixel 11 series is now official. Google launched the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold on August 12. They bring the new Tensor G6 chip, upgraded cameras, Gemini-powered features, and other hardware changes.

With the dust of the reveal settling down, the attention is now on where you can buy the phones for less. Carriers are already responding with deals, and US Mobile in particular has some aggressive offers.

US Mobile wants your trade-in

In a promotional email, US Mobile stacked and advertised two discounts where the 256GB Pixel 11 normally costs $899, but you can get it for $539 when you buy a new annual plan. That is, a $360 reduction or 40% discount.

The Pro and Pro XL receive similar annual-plan discounts, bringing them to $629 and $779 from their $1,099 and $1,299 prices. Then you get an even lower price of $293 for the Pro and $341 for the Pro XL by applying the estimated value of a “typical trade-in.”

So, the final price depends on the phone you're trading in. When I attempted to trade in an unlocked Google Pixel 10 in excellent condition, the trade-in tool estimated its value at $295. Excellent, in this case, means fully functional, free of cracks and deep scratches, and having a clear International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number.

The Pixel 11 series itself is available for preorder now, and US Mobile will ship it on August 18. US Mobile is also advertising the standard Pixel 11 at $279 with a typical trade-in. It's worth noting that the company is a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) and not a traditional network carrier like Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile.

It operates its service using major carriers' networks rather than maintaining its own nationwide cellular network. US Mobile currently offers access to Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile networks through its different service options.

Phone Model	Retail Price	Price Before Trade-In	Price After Trade-In	Pre-Order Link
Pixel 11 (256 GB)	$899	$539	$279	Pre-order Pixel 11
Pixel 11 Pro (256 GB)	$1099	$629	$293	Pre-order Pixel 11 Pro
Pixel 11 Pro XL (256 GB)	$1299	$779	$341	Pre-order Pixel 11 Pro XL
Pixel 11 Pro Fold (256 GB)	$1899	$1369	$614	Pre-order Pixel 11 Pro Fold

T-Mobile will give you a Pixel 11 Pro XL for free

T-Mobile is offering a much more substantial carrier promotion where you can get the 256GB Pixel 11 Pro XL for up to $1,300 off. If you qualify through Experience Beyond 2.0 or Go5G Next and add a line or trade in a device in any condition, it'll cover the cost through bill credits.

Go5G Next is the older of the two, and it includes unlimited talk, text, and data, substantial hotspot data, international data, streaming perks, and T-Mobile's Yearly Upgrade benefit.

Experience Beyond carries over the major Go5G Next benefits while adding more high-speed hotspot data, more high-speed international data, and T-Satellite connectivity. It includes 250GB of high-speed hotspot data per month and 15GB of high-speed data abroad, compared with 5GB previously on Go5G Next.

There's an alternative where T-Mobile is also introducing its EIP Flex 36 financing option. This new Equipment Installment Plan lets a well-qualified customer finance a new Pixel over 36 months and pay $0 upfront, including the phone's eligible taxes and fees.

You still owe for the phone through the installment plan unless another promotion provides credits to cover those payments. T-Mobile says the Pixel 11 series will be available starting August 20. Preorders are already open.
