It’s official: Google’s 2026 flagship lineup has arrived, and there are already plenty of Pixel 11 preorder deals<\/a> that could make the Android phones cheap (or even free) if you play your cards right.<\/p>\n

The catch is that most of these offers require some sort of upgrade through your wireless carrier, so folks looking for a no-strings promotion may feel like they’re out of luck.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Best Buy has you covered. From now until the phones’ official release on August 20th, you can preorder the Google Pixel 11 and score up to $700 of trade-in credit AND a free $100 gift card<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That effectively makes the unlocked phone just $99, no strings attached and no confusing contract to worry about.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Naturally, trading in an old Pixel phone<\/a> will earn you the most savings, but Best Buy is also accepting devices from Samsung and Apple as part of its preorder promotion. The $100 gift card is included no matter what, which is nice if you’re also looking for accessories<\/a> to pair with your new smartphone. \u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sleek and versatile, the base model Google Pixel 11 comes equipped with the Tensor G6 chipset, 12GB of RAM, and a gorgeous 6.3-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. As usual with Pixel devices, you also get fantastic cameras, all of the latest AI-boosted software features, and seven years of OS and security upgrades guaranteed. It’s not a dramatic upgrade from its predecessor, the Pixel 10<\/a>, but if you missed last year’s model, the Pixel 11 is the device to buy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Need a bit more power? It’s worth mentioning that Best Buy is running similar deals on the Google Pixel 11 Pro and super-sized Pixel 11 Pro XL, increasing the potential trade-in discount to $1,000 and upping the gift card balance to $200<\/a> with all orders.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of course, this Pixel 11 preorder deal makes the most sense if you have something to trade in, but if you (like me) own a drawer full of old or broken smartphones somewhere in your home, it’s worth using Best Buy’s trade-in tool to see how much you can save. What do you have to lose?\u00a0<\/p>\n
