Amazon dropped the price of the Google Pixel 11 Pro to $799.99 overnight, a 27 percent cut from its $1,099.99 launch price, according to Android Police, which flagged the deal on October 30. The discount applies to the unlocked model and does not require a Prime membership.
That $799.99 figure is the lowest the Pixel 11 Pro has gone since it went on sale, per Android Police's tracking. The phone launched with a $100 price increase over its predecessor, the Pixel 10 Pro, a jump that drew criticism given some of the trade-offs baked into this year's model.
The Pixel 11 Pro is the smaller of Google's two Pro-tier phones for 2026, built around a 6.3-inch AMOLED display and the Tensor G6 chipset. It ships with 12GB of RAM in its base configurations, a step down from the 16GB that last year's Pixel 10 Pro offered across the board. The 512GB storage tier is the only configuration that still gets 16GB.
Battery capacity also shrank slightly compared to the Pixel 10 Pro, though neither Google nor Android Police has published exact figures for either phone's cell size in this context. What the Pixel 11 Pro does carry over, and extend, is Google's software promise: seven years of OS updates and security patches, a commitment that now outlasts what most rivals offer on comparable hardware.
The one clearly new hardware touch is something Google calls the HiLight LED array, a light strip built into the camera bar that glows during incoming calls or when Gemini is actively listening or responding. It is a small addition, more visual signature than functional leap, but it is the kind of detail that separates this phone's silhouette from the sea of similar-looking Android slabs on shelves right now.
Software-wise, the Pixel 11 Pro comes loaded with Google's current Gemini-based AI features, the same assistant stack Google has been pushing across its phone lineup and, more recently, into a redesigned overlay rolling out to Android devices broadly.
Android Police's framing is that the launch price was simply too high for what the phone offers against the RAM and battery cuts, and that $799.99 is where the Pixel 11 Pro starts to look like a reasonable buy rather than an aspirational one. It is worth treating that as one outlet's read on value rather than a verdict on how the phone performs, since no benchmarks or battery tests accompanied the price report.
Black Friday sales are still weeks away, and Amazon's pricing on phones tends to shift daily rather than hold steady. Android Police suggested a further markdown once the formal Black Friday period begins is unlikely, though retailers have surprised shoppers before. Anyone eyeing the Pixel 11 Pro at this price should confirm it is still live on Amazon's listing before assuming the $799.99 figure holds.
