Google didn't kick Pixel 11 trade-in values off a cliff this year
Key Points:
- Google has ended its pre-order and launch period deals for the Pixel 11 series but introduced a second round of boosted trade-in values, slightly lower than the initial offers.
- Trade-in credits now max out at $460 for the Pixel 11, $550 for the Pixel 11 Pro/XL, and $850 for the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, valid until September 30.
- Google Store no longer provides additional store credits with Pixel 11 purchases, and gift card offers have ended at Best Buy and Amazon.
- Best Buy currently offers higher trade-in values than Amazon, such as $550 for a Pixel 10 Pro compared to Amazon’s $350.
- These changes reflect a shift in promotional strategies post-launch, focusing on trade-in incentives rather than direct purchase credits.
