Google Pixel 11 Drops to $699 on Amazon, Its Lowest Price Ever
The unlocked Pixel 11 with 256GB is $699 at Amazon, the Google Store and Best Buy, $200 off and its lowest price yet. The Google Store sale ends November 8.
If you have been waiting for a reason to switch to a Pixel, this is a strong one.
The Google Pixel 11 (256GB, unlocked) is down to $699 on Amazon, $200 off its $899 list price. Multiple deal trackers call it the lowest price the phone has hit so far, and it arrives just months after the Pixel 11 launched in August.
This is not just an Amazon price either. The same $699 price is showing at the Google Store and Best Buy, as part of an early holiday sale across the whole Pixel 11 lineup. The Google Store sale ends November 8, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. PT, so the window is short, and Amazon's listing does not show a fixed end date, which means it could change at any time.
Prices and savings can change. Check the retailer for the current price before you buy.

What you get for $699
The Pixel 11 is Google's standard flagship, not a stripped down budget phone. It packs many of the same core features as the Pro, in a compact 6.3-inch design.
Design and display
The Pixel 11 has a 6.3-inch Actua OLED display (1080 x 2424, 422 pixels per inch) with a 60Hz to 120Hz Smooth Display mode. Google rates it at up to 2,000 nits of HDR brightness, with a maximum peak of 3,000 nits, which should help with outdoor visibility.
It measures about 152.8 x 72 x 8.6 mm and weighs 197g, slightly lighter than the similarly sized Pixel 11 Pro. It uses Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front and back, with an aluminum frame, and it is IP68 rated for dust and water resistance under laboratory conditions. Note that IP68 does not mean waterproof, and liquid damage may not be covered by the standard warranty.
The camera bar is 40 percent thinner than the previous design, according to Google, which makes the phone easier to pocket and less likely to rock on a desk.
A genuine triple camera system
Unlike many standard flagship phones, the Pixel 11 includes a dedicated telephoto camera. Its rear array combines:
- 48-megapixel main camera, with optical image stabilization and a redesigned sensor Google says offers 56 percent better light sensitivity
- 13-megapixel ultrawide camera, with a 120-degree field of view
- 10.8-megapixel 5x telephoto camera, with optical image stabilization
Google lists 0.6x, 1x, 2x, 5x, and 10x as optical-quality settings, with Super Zoom reaching 30x through digital zoom and processing. Image quality will decline as you approach the maximum, especially in poor light or with moving subjects, but the dedicated 5x lens is a real upgrade over phones that rely only on cropping the main sensor.
The 10.5-megapixel front camera supports autofocus and 4K recording at 30 or 60 frames per second. Rear cameras also record 4K at up to 60fps.
Pixel photography tools include Night Sight, Astrophotography mode, Magic Capture, Camera Looks, Add Me, Face Unblur, Auto Best Take, Long Exposure, Action Pan, and Real Tone. The standard Pixel 11 lacks the full Pro controls and higher resolution Pro camera system, but for most people, this is the camera system that makes Pixel phones so easy to recommend.
Tensor G6, Gemini, and 7 years of updates
The Pixel 11 runs on Google's Tensor G6 processor, with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage in this deal. Gemini Intelligence is integrated across compatible Google apps, with Gemini Live for conversational interaction and Gemini Nano for selected on-device functions. Some requests still need an internet connection or server-side processing, and certain advanced Gemini services may eventually require a paid Google AI plan.
Long-term support is a major selling point here. Google promises seven years of Android, security, and Pixel Drop updates. That removes one of the main reasons older Android phones become unsafe to use, although it does not prevent normal battery wear or physical damage.
Security features include a Titan M3 security coprocessor, fingerprint and facial authentication, and scam detection within supported Phone and Messages functions.
Battery and charging
The Pixel 11 has a 4,985mAh battery, slightly larger than the standard-size Pixel 11 Pro. Google advertises more than 30 hours of operation under its testing conditions. Real battery life will depend on signal strength, brightness, camera use, navigation, gaming, and AI processing.
A compatible 30W or higher USB-C PPS charger can restore up to 55 percent in about 30 minutes, but the charger is sold separately, with only a USB-C cable in the box. The phone also supports Pixelsnap magnetic wireless charging at up to 25W through the Qi2.2 standard.
Connectivity and safety
The unlocked US model supports major mobile networks, but confirm band and carrier compatibility before activation. The US specification describes dual-eSIM support, allowing two active eSIMs and storage of additional profiles.
Wireless connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 6, NFC, and Google Cast. Safety features include Satellite SOS, Emergency SOS, crash detection, Safety Check, and earthquake alerts, with availability depending on country, carrier, and network conditions.
Who should grab this deal
This deal is best for:
- Android users who want a manageable phone with excellent cameras, clean software, and long-term support
- Travelers, parents, and casual photographers who will actually use the dedicated 5x telephoto camera
- Anyone who wants the core Pixel experience without paying Pro prices
- Buyers who plan to keep a phone for several years, thanks to the seven-year update commitment
256GB is a good fit for most people who store a moderate collection of photos, offline media, and apps. If you record a lot of 4K video, consider the 512GB version, which was also on sale at $819 in some listings, though that price may vary by retailer and color.
Who should skip it, or look at the Pro instead
The Pixel 11 Pro remains the better choice if you prioritize:
- The brightest display, with LTPO refresh down to 1Hz for static content
- Larger camera sensors, 120x Pro Zoom, and Pro controls
- Up to 1TB of storage
- 16GB memory configurations for more headroom on future AI workloads
If none of those matter to you, the standard Pixel 11 at $699 is the better value.
Bottom line
At $899, the Pixel 11 was already a strong Android flagship. At $699, with 256GB of storage, a triple camera system with 5x telephoto, Tensor G6, Gemini, and seven years of updates, it is hard to ignore.
This is an early holiday sale, not a permanent price cut, and the Google Store deal ends November 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Amazon's price could change sooner, so if you have been on the fence, this is the time to check the listing and decide.
Just remember to confirm the price, color, and storage at checkout, since deal prices can change without warning.
