The Pixel 11 Pro carries the biggest discount, with its fog, olive, and obsidian color schemes selling for around $1,007 at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Google-Pixel-11-Pro-Smartphone\/dp\/B0H82XM1S2?ref_=ast_sto_dp&amp;th=1&amp;tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a>, almost negating this year\u2019s $100 price increase for the starter configuration despite having twice the storage (256GB).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The standard Pixel 11 is cheaper, too, selling for about $840 at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0H82Z7G4C\/?tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a>, $60 off its starting price. It\u2019s nice to see the price come down, making it a little less pricey to get access to Google\u2019s Pixel 11-exclusive features, including Camera Looks and Magic Capture. This model has the same processor and amount of RAM as the cheapest Pixel 11 Pro (the cameras are the biggest difference).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The price drops continue all the way to the bottom of Google\u2019s current Pixel series, the Pixel 10A. Originally $499 for the phone with the Pixel 9\u2019s Tensor G4 processor, it\u2019s back down to $424 at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0GHRHXVN1?tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bestbuy.7tiv.net\/c\/482924\/614286\/10014?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fproduct%2Fgoogle-pixel-10a-128gb-unlocked-lavender%2FJ39TC8CKZ8%3FskuId%3D6668561\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Best Buy<\/a>. We see this price return from time to time, and it\u2019s worth considering whether you need an upgrade from an older A-series phone, or if you\u2019re considering leaving the flagship phone lifestyle behind to save some money.<\/p>\n<p>Other great Verge-approved deals<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple\u2019s iPhone 18 Pro will release this Friday, September 18th, and it\u2019s tough to see it as just&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":848736,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[167,166,165,74,148099],"class_list":["post-848735","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-deals","tag-gadgets","tag-mobile","tag-technology","tag-verge-shopping"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/848735","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=848735"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/848735\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/848736"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=848735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=848735"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=848735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
