Amazon is offering a 1TB Pixel 11 Pro (Obsidian) bundled with a Pixel Watch 5 (41mm, Wi‑Fi) for $1,599, a $250 savings off the usual $1,849, with an extra trade‑in credit of up to $600 depending on your device; the deal runs through August 27 or while supplies last.
Amazon is rolling out a wave of Pixel 11 series deals with sizable trade-in bonuses and gift cards: Pixel 11 ($324 trade-in), Pixel 11 Pro/Pro XL ($425 trade-in), and Pixel 11 Pro Fold ($425 trade-in plus a choice of a $350 Amazon Gift Card or a Pixel Watch 5). The Pixel Watch 5 itself has no perks. Samsung’s Galaxy A37 and A57 receive discounts, Nothing Phone (3) and (4a) Pro show price cuts, and Galaxy Z Fold8/Ultra/Flip8 bundles combine gift cards with trade-ins. Look for the Galaxy S26 FE reveal next Thursday, with no strong offers yet for the S25 FE.
Apple’s Trade In program can credit iPhones back to the iPhone 8 (2017); iPhone 8 in good condition is worth about $35, the 8 Plus $40, and the iPhone X $60, with older models earning nothing. Newer iPhones can fetch up to $720 (e.g., iPhone 16 Pro Max). Non-Apple devices like Samsung, Google Pixel, OnePlus, and Huawei are also eligible but typically worth less (e.g., Pixel 6 Pro in good shape $50; a 128GB Pixel 9 Pro around $255, 1TB about $315). Credit can be applied to a new purchase, financing, or an Apple Gift Card, and you can trade online (with a prepaid label) or at an Apple Store. For potentially higher returns, third-party sites or direct selling may pay more, though with extra effort.
T-Mobile is offering several free iPhone options this weekend: the iPhone 17 is free over 36 months with a qualifying trade‑in on Experience More or Experience Beyond plans; the iPhone 17e is free with a switch to nearly any qualifying plan (no trade‑in); and the iPhone 17 Pro is free by porting your number to an Experience Beyond plan (no trade‑in). Taxes on the full price and a $35 device connection fee apply upfront, with the savings disbursed as monthly credits over 24–36 months.
Google’s Pixel 11 lineup kicks off with base Pixel 11 at $899, Pixel 11 Pro at $1,099, and Pixel 11 Pro XL at $1,299 (all starting with 256GB). Across T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T, Amazon, Best Buy, Google Store, and Xfinity Mobile, launch promos can make these devices essentially free or deeply discounted through new lines or trade-ins, plus promo gift cards (up to $200 at some retailers) and up to six months of Google AI Pro. The phones run the Tensor G6 with seven years of updates, and the Pro/XL models feature new HiLight LED lighting around the camera bar.
Major US carriers are launching substantial promos on Google's Pixel 11 lineup and Pixel Watch 5. T-Mobile offers the Pixel 11 Pro XL essentially for free with a new line and trade‑in plus plan credits (up to 36 months), while also discounting the Pixel Watch 5 (up to $300) and providing a 25% accessory bundle deal; other Pixel 11 models and the Pro Fold are available on certain plans. AT&T provides the Pixel 11 Pro free with a trade‑in of any Pixel, up to $1,350 off on the Pixel 11 Pro XL, and the vanilla Pixel 11 at $11/month with no trade‑in; the Pixel Watch 5 is half off when bought online.

The Pixel 11 Pro Fold is available on T-Mobile and Verizon but carries no special discounts on AT&T. All Pixel 11 devices are FirstNet Ready. Check each carrier’s press release for full terms.
Google is running aggressive Pixel 11 Pro trade-ins that can make the phone effectively free through carrier credits, but Pixel 10 Pro owners are passing on the upgrade due to a RAM cut at the entry tier (12GB instead of 16GB) and the removal of a thermometer LED; the notable hardware change is a new modem, while the price benefit comes as credits rather than a true discount, making the upgrade less compelling for many users.
Best Buy’s preorder promo for the Google Pixel 11 cuts the unlocked price to $99 by offering up to $700 in trade-in credit plus a $100 gift card (no-strings attached) when you preorder through August 20; trade-ins can include old Pixels as well as Samsung or Apple devices. The Pixel 11 Pro/XL promos boost trade-in credit to up to $1,000 and gift cards up to $200. The Pixel 11 features a Tensor G6, 12GB RAM, a 6.3-inch 120Hz OLED display, strong cameras, and seven years of OS and security updates.
T-Mobile is offering the Google Pixel 11 (and the Pixel 11 Pro/Pro XL) for free on select legacy and Essentials plans via a trade-in promo that accepts damaged devices, with up to four devices per account and a $900 credit applied over 24 or 36 months. The deal also stacks with Costco perks (waived $35 device connection charge and a $100 Costco gift card after 90 days). Eligibility appears targeted but is generally accessible by checking the Pixel 11 listing in the T-Mobile site or T-Life app. The promo requires a commitment of about two years with T-Mobile, so consider future plans before jumping in.
T-Mobile is offering free iPhone 17 family models this weekend on a mix of plans and requirements: the iPhone 17e is free with switching to a qualifying plan (no trade-in), the iPhone 17 is free over 36 months with a trade-in on the Experience More or Experience Beyond plan, and the iPhone 17 Pro is free by porting your number to an Experience Beyond plan (no trade-in). Upfront taxes on the full phone price and a $35 device connection fee per line apply; savings come as monthly credits over 24–36 months. Deals are time-limited through the weekend.
Google Play is quietly offering upfront Pixel hardware discounts to Platinum Play Points members—up to $175 off select Pixel devices (including $150 off Pixel 11/11 Pro and $175 off Pixel 11 Pro Fold) and $75 off the Pixel Watch 5—visible in the Google Play app under Perks and stackable with trade-ins, depending on eligibility; users should compare final price after trade-ins and any plan requirements.
Retailers are rolling out aggressive trade-in deals for Google's Pixel 11 lineup. The Google Store offers up to $1,250 off a Pixel 11 (via instant discounts and pre-launch coupons) and, on select models, bundles savings with the Pixel Watch 5 (up to $250 off, or a free Pixel Watch 5 with the Pixel 11 Pro Fold). Amazon and Best Buy provide additional trade-in credits (up to about $825 and $1,000 respectively), with accompanying gift cards or perks. The Pixel Watch 5 itself also has trade-in deals across stores. The Pixel 11 series is available to pre-order now and goes on sale August 20, with ongoing updates expected as new offers surface.
Samsung launches the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra alongside the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, with multiple launch deals: Samsung offers up to $1,000 trade-in on the Fold models (and up to $630 for the Z Flip 8) plus instant Samsung Shop credit for non-trade-ins; Best Buy advertises up to $1,200 off the Galaxy Z8 Series with qualifying trade-ins; the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 gets $100 off to $599; carriers such as T-Mobile and AT&T offer credits up to about $1,900 with activation on premium plans, potentially making devices nearly free, while some models ship with notable delays.
Apple has raised its trade-in estimates for iPhones, iPads, Macs and Apple Watches, and added a small set of Android devices (Pixel 9 series, OnePlus 13) to the program ahead of the iPhone 18 Pro launch. Most newer Apple devices increased in value (e.g., iPhone 16 Pro Max up to $720; Mac mini up to $480; MacBook Pro up to $855; iPad Pro up to $720), while a few older models stayed unchanged. Android values are mixed (Pixel 9 Pro around $305; Galaxy S22 Ultra down to about $125). Final offers depend on device condition and configuration.
Apple has updated its trade‑in program, raising credits for iPhones, iPads, Watches, and Macs and expanding Android device eligibility. iPhone values rise (e.g., iPhone 16 Pro up to $630 and iPhone 16 Pro Max up to $720), Mac minis see the largest gain (up to $480, about 28%), and other Apple gear also increases. The program now accepts more Android devices (Pixel 9 series, OnePlus 13/13R, Galaxy S21 Ultra, etc.). Credits depend on device condition and year, and submitting online can reduce value if the item is damaged in shipping.
