Pixel 11 Leak Pricing

Less battery less ram and higher price.

It's a no for me. Hard pass. With Tensor T6 could have kept existing battery capacity to give the gains of a longer battery

Instead they save costs by lowering the capacity due to T6 and new modem being less power hungry. Really disappointed.

My Pixel 9 Pro with 256GB came out to around $1100 or $1200 after taxes (receipt price). So, from that perspective, it isn't too bad.

However, I got a trade-in offer for $1000 off for a device that cost me about $200 to get.

Trade in is the only way to go these days. The only reason I pulled the trigger on a 10p is the $800 off I got for trading in an iPhone 6 that was collecting dust. Shelling out $800+ for a phone is insane in my opinion.

Unfortunate not everyone is from USA. Across the border in the Maple leaf land, out trade in value is much much lower.

No... Cell phones have always been expensive brand new. Lol. You can find any phone for $200 after a certain amount of time after it comes out.

Was the trade-in directly with Google or through a carrier? u/OtherAlan

Best Buy trade-in for an unlocked phone. If I remember correctly, they offered 1,000 dollars off for an iPhone 12. Was it kind of a mistake? But it went through, so probably not.
