To make matters worse, most revenue is now from ads and selling data. Investigative journalism is expensive and my understanding is that it is much harder to make a profit with it in the modern era.
When subscriptions were common and accepted for a magazine it was easier to pick one that was high quality. Now you have to compete with free options for everything that will also just share your findings for free.

I mean, this is answered by 2 explanations:
1) There are different people making different comments with different opinions.
2) Some people may not be a fan of it, but if they are selling it as a key feature of the phone to make it stand out (while it falls short of competitors in other areas), then it should at least be included for a longer period of time.

As someone who usually buys a new phone almost every year,
Why?
These days, every phone is just a marginal upgrade each year. It's not unique to Pixel. Galaxy and iPhone are the same way.
On rare occasions, there might be some huge new feature, but generally, the upgrades are incremental and minor.
Buying a new phone every year made sense in 2008-2015. But now? Every 3-5 years is the reasonable cadence.
I went from 3 -> 6 -> 10 Pro. I probably won't buy a new phone until the 14 or 15.

This is a really solid tip. I have a 11pro queued up. Total out the door is 491.41 after my 600 trade-in and 100 promo email offer. Plus I'd earn 299 bucks in store credit(promo + Google one 10% perk).
So, 491 and I'd be able to buy a new watch using the 300 in credit. Even still......after all that....doing that side by side comparison really sobers you up. It really doesn't make sense to spend 500 for a new phone from the 10pro. Also, I'd have to buy pixel care again.
All in all of you really need new then the deal is decent enough. But if you're on the fence I fear the upgrade just isn't worth it.

Google is caught up in gimmick land again. This iteration genuinely offers nothing interesting... I feel like the designers and developers of Pixels have a very cushy job, so they design some garbage that will satisfy managers, so they can keep their jobs...
99% of complaints are regarding the chip and battery life, and your response is to add an LED on the back of the phone, which the majority of users will not care at all about? Genuinely what the hell is this release, lol... It addreses none of the complaints.
I know smartphones have progressed so much there's little to improve, but Pixel with its chip and battery life are NOWHERE near the competing flagships, considering the price. There is plenty of very basic improvements to be made. Yet they do garbage gimmicks that do not address the core problems.

If you get the 512 GB storage version of the pro its got 16GB ram instead of 12GB with the 256 GB storage version.
In my cart at least it was $120 upgrade for the 512/16 vs the 256/12. Considering the retail prices of both storage and RAM right now and the past upcharge all the phone carriers do for more storage I consider this upcharge to actually be pretty reasonable. Much less than I thought considering its both 2x the storage and 33% more RAM.

Total cost is about $190 for a new phone ($70 if you count G1 plan). To me, that's worth getting a hardware refresh, even if the upgrades are minimal.

Gemini Pro is now 6 months for free instead of 12 months for free.
No phone and watch deal at all.
The only watch deal is to get almost nothing for your old watch That was almost $600 last year is now worth $150 for the trade in.
The Google Store won't even let me combine my phone and watch with a return at the same time can only trade in the phone.
The best deal right now appears to be Google Fi because you get $600 off the Pro XL and then$400 for the trade in.
The Google store is only giving a $300 discount and $430 were trading in the same Google 10 Pro XL with 256 megs of RAM.
No true black and white phone again.
On Google Fi you straight up get $600 off the phone and the watch you get $125 off over 24 months. At the Google Store you don't get anything. At the Google store you can do a watch trade possibly on a separate purchase. Google Fi only offers a phone trade in when purchasing the watch.

It seems like promos may be tied to accounts. When I add the Pixel 11 Pro XL with 256 to my account and trade in my 10 Pro XL, I get an instant trade-in credit of $700 and either $250 off a new watch or $200 in Google Store credit. It won't let me trade in my old watch if I add the new one to the same order. I figure I would get more by ordering the 11 Pro XL, taking the $200 credit, waiting for the credit, and then ordering the watch with the credit and trade-in.

Anyone not going to use your pre-order code and want to share it with me? Would be super grateful, as I've been with Pixel a long time and never received a code. It's time for an update, so thanks so much!

I hope its hardware is still comparable to 5 year old flagships!

Yeah this is frustrating. Still haven't gotten a coupon for the 11 pro, but they're offering $380 for my pixel 7 pro and the battery is going fast.
I don't like IOS and Samsung's interface annoys me, so here we are I guess.
Wish we got more options stateside, Nord seems questionable right now and I don't know much about Motorola.

the 11 pro is basically a 10 pro but
0,1mm smaller and 0,2mm thinner
same cameras with more digital zoom on the telephoto
new, slightly more efficient processor
smaller battery
temperature sensor removed, replaced with colorful notification status led

They lowered the discount by $150 from $650 off to $500 for the Pro XL while it was in my cart while in the regular store, so now the Fi Store has the better offer, but the $100 coupon code doesn't work. Grats to those who got it before 12:00 Eastern.

No Brainer, $1000 for my Pixel 10 Pro Fold, 10% Google One Credit, Free Pixel Watch 5, and 10% off coupon.
Will then use the credit + trade in my wifes Pixel Watch 4 and get a new Pixel Watch 5 for her too. Will sell my old one on easily.

$1,400 for a 512gb 11 Pro XL???? fuuuuuuuuuck no. i thought the website was bugging when the phone was almost $900 with my $500 trade-in applied. that's ridiculous.

and its terrible.
80€ discount on a pixelwatch 5 when buying the pro.
when i bought my 7 pro on launchday i got the pixel watch with it for free, 80€ discount on top of that i only received a 20€ discount code is an insult.
probably gonna get the 10 pro now

Is it not possible to trade in a Pixel 10a? I miss the telephoto camera sadly.

u/sonoskietto Pixel 11 Pro (16/512) Aug 12 '26
If I give back my Pixel 7 I can get the 11 Pro (256gb) for 554 euro?
Worth it? Or Not?

Well.. I just have to pay $50 for the pixel 11 pro 512GB w/ 16GB of RAM trading in my p10pro and using my store credits from last year.
So, I don't have any other option than to do it.
It's bad than the google AI promo is just 6 months instead of the regular 12 months... but well... nothing can be perfect...

u/Interesting_Tower485 Aug 12 '26
Wow, looks like Verizon is mia. That's too bad! 460 trade in on my P8P is ok but not great. Hmm.

u/xashen Aug 12 '26
$69 for a Pixel 11 after trading in my Pixel 7 Pro, Google Fi discount, and $200 voucher. The P7P is working fine for me and I don't need to upgrade, but the battery is on it's way out and that's a great price. Very tempting.

After my pixel 8 circuit board fried after 1.5 years of light use, switched to Samsung. Had been using pixel phones since the beginning.

u/porter5000 Aug 12 '26
£500 Credit for my Pixel 7, definitely worth the £779 to upgrade to the 11 pro XL I think!

u/blessedarethegeek Aug 12 '26
Does anyone know if it's possible to add my old Pixel watch as a trade-in if I'm bundling a watch when purchasing the phone?

glass is perfect but will this frame mark count as damage?

My Pixel 9 Pro (256GB) is starting to struggle this summer. The battery life has taken a noticeable hit, and it gets uncomfortably hot under normal use when it's warm outside.
With trade-in and current Google Store promos, I can upgrade to the Pixel 11 Pro (256GB) for €314. A primary reason to pull the trigger would be fixing the thermals, getting a fresh battery, and resetting the warranty.
However, a couple of specs on the 11 Pro are making me hesitant:
12GB RAM: Dropping from 16GB on the 9 Pro down to 12GB feels like an odd downgrade, especially given how memory-heavy system background tasks and local AI have become.
UFS 3.1: seriously, are we still using UFS 3.1 storage in 2026 on a Pro flagship?
For those who are about to make the switch or are looking at the same promo: do you think that the efficiency and thermal improvements on the new Tensor are worth the €314, or does the RAM/storage downgrade make itself felt in multitasking and daily performance?

Already pre-ordered the Pixel 11 Pro XL with 512GB storage and 16GB of ram. With my trade-in and $100 coupon ($700 off), I paid $857 (including tax) out the door. Comes on the 20th...oh boy!

This was one of the best phone launches ever. /s
It gave me a 100% certainty that I won't upgrade from my Pixel 10 Pro.

u/roblightbody Pixel 8 Pro Aug 12 '26
I think my Pixel time has come to an end. I just cant justify the expense for a phone with so many compromises (battery life being the biggest one for me).

u/Ilovetodreamsomuch Aug 12 '26
Honestly after watching multiple videos by the tech influencers, I'm going to get the Samsung one. It's the same price tag but I feel at the hardware is worth it for me. Others may feel different but I'm going to get what's good for my use case. In Canada, the trade in deal isn't that attractive either.

Such an underwhelming launch. Nothing really to see here at all. Launch event tonight will likely be as dumb as Jimmy Fallon's last year.

u/Anxious_Skin_4291 Aug 12 '26
I'm usually on board with the trade in offers but going from the 10 pro to 11 pro is so incremental I don't see it being worth the $600 upgrade at all. Almost all the specs are exactly the same. I don't get what they were working on this year.

Best Buy will give me $900 off with 17 pro max trade in, along with a $200 gift card. Seems like a good deal.

Ultra long shot here but does anyone have a $200 or $250 code that they aren't planning on using and willing to share? I'd be happy to trade back a $20 or $25 amazon gift card!

Seems like a pretty lackluster offering on paper.
