Pixel 11 Series Opens Pre-Orders as Galaxy Foldables and S26 Discount Campaigns Kick In
Google’s Pixel 11 lineup goes on pre-order ahead of an August 20 release, with 256GB storage standard and RAM allocated per model (12GB on the vanilla and fold; 16GB on the Pro/XL). The Pixel 11 Pro adds a HiLight LED and improved camera hardware; the Pro Fold shares the vanilla camera while trimming battery space but increases wireless charging to 25W. Trade-in bonuses reach up to €400 on some Pixel models, plus extra incentives for trading in older Pixels. The Pixel Watch 5 gains 64GB storage, while Buds Pro 2 receive a new Olive color and feature updates. Samsung counters with discounts on Galaxy Z Fold8, Z Fold8 Ultra, and Z Flip8, and the Galaxy S26 line shows substantial price cuts (e.g., Ultra €500 off), making Pixels more price-competitive against Samsung’s foldables.
