Google Pixel 11 range: Best pre-order deals in Australia

Google’s new Pixel 11 range is just a week away from hitting Australian shelves, with bigger camera sensors and more refined software the main year-on-year upgrades. Now that the phones are public knowledge, local retailers are competing to be the place you pre-order the Pixel 11 from.

Like most phone pre-order promotions, there’s a combination of device discounts when bundled with plans, and freebies when buying the handset outright. Depending on where you shop, you can save hundreds of dollars on a Pixel 11, grab a free watch, or even score a PlayStation 5.

Before we get too carried away, let’s look at how much the Pixel 11 range costs in Australia, and where you can find the best pre-order deals.

Google Pixel 11 range price

This year’s Pixel phones cost a bit more, with starting price increases of up to $150 in Australia. The cheapest Pixel 11 starts at $1,499, while the 512GB storage variant of the Pro Fold claims the most expensive crown at $2,999.

Here’s how much each model costs in Australia:

Google Pixel 11

• 12GB + 256GB: $1,499
• 12GB + 512GB: $1,699

Google Pixel 11 Pro

• 12GB + 256GB: $1,849
• 16GB + 512GB: $2,049
• 16GB + 1TB: $2,399

Google Pixel 11 Pro XL

• 12GB + 256GB: $2,099
• 16GB + 512GB: $2,299
• 16GB + 1TB: $2,649

Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold

• 16GB + 256GB: $2,799
• 16GB + 512GB: $2,999

All phones launch in Australia on 20 August, just a week after the announcement. Pre-orders are live now, so let’s get into the deals.

Google Pixel 11 pre-order deals

Google’s online store

If you go directly with Google’s online store, you can get either money off a new watch or store credit. As usual, the value depends on which phone you choose.

With a standard Pixel 11, Google offers one of two choices: a free Fitbit Air valued at $199, or $199 of Google Store credit. It’s a similar trajectory for the rest of the range, albeit with higher dollar values attached.

Moving on to the Pixel 11 Pro, the offer is $449 off the newly launched Pixel Watch 5, or $449 in store credit. Pick a Pixel 11 Pro XL, and it’s either a $599 Pixel Watch 5 discount or the same amount in credit. It doesn’t matter which storage configuration you choose; the pre-order deal is the same.

As for the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, you can choose to receive a Pixel Watch 5 at no cost, or get $699 in store credit. Google values the specific Pixel Watch 5 model at $829, so it technically is the bigger offer of the two.

Google’s pre-order deals also extend beyond launch, lasting until 4 September.

Telstra

Telstra’s pre-order deals consist of device payment discounts, bonus trade-in credit, and a bit of money off your phone bill.

When buying a Pixel 11 on either a 12, 24, or 36-month Telstra plan, you can save $400 on device repayments, essentially bringing the hardware cost down to as little as $1,099. By trading in an eligible phone, there’s also $400 of bonus trade-in credit up for grabs, which stacks on top of the device’s existing value.

With the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL models, Telstra’s pre-order deal follows the same structure. Both phones include $650 device discounts when bundled with a plan, along with the $400 bonus trade-in credit offer.

Interestingly, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold’s device discount is slightly less, at $600, despite its higher price. Otherwise, the same $400 bonus trade-in credit offer applies.

Across all phones, Telstra also offers a $5 monthly discount on its Basic Mobile Plan for the first 12 months. Normally $74 per month, it brings the monthly cost down to $69 during the first year, with 50GB included each month.

Importantly, Telstra’s Pixel 11 device discount offers end on 20 August, launch day.

Optus

If you pre-order a Pixel 11 with Optus, you get $500 off device repayments when paired with either a 12, 24, or 36-month plan. The cheapest eligible plan starts at $60 per month with a 60GB data allocation. However, there’s an introductory discount available, bringing the monthly cost down to $40 for the first year.

That device discount increases to $1,000 for the entire Pro range, including the XL and Fold models. Like the standard Pixel 11, as long as you stick with the agreed-upon plan duration, the device repayment discount applies.

Vodafone

At the time of writing, Vodafone has pre-order deals for the base Pixel 11 and the Pixel 11 Pro XL, but not the rest of the range. Both are pretty sizable (and unique) offers, though.

Pre-ordering the Pixel 11 with either a 24 or 36-month Vodafone plan nets a $650 device discount. Vodafone’s cheapest plan starts at $58 per month (discounted to $45 for the first year), making this deal one of the cheaper options as far as monthly payments are concerned.

Pre-order the Pixel 11 Pro XL by 19 August, and you’ll get something completely different. Not a device discount or lower monthly payments, but a PlayStation 5. It comes with an extra DualSense controller, too, bringing the overall quoted value to $1,009.

So, if you want a phone and a gaming console, Vodafone is your go-to.

JB Hi-Fi and Harvey Norman

Looking at classic brick-and-mortar retail, JB Hi-Fi and Harvey Norman offer the same Google Pixel 11 pre-order deals. It’s a pretty simple offer: order one of the new phones by 26 August and get a bonus device (or devices, plural).

Here’s what comes with each phone:

• Pixel 11: Google Fitbit Air (valued at $199)
• Pixel 11 Pro: Google Fitbit Air + Pixel Buds 2A (valued at $438)
• Pixel 11 Pro XL: Google Fitbit Air + Pixel Buds 2 Pro (valued at $578)
• Pixel 11 Pro Fold: Pixel Watch 5 Wi-Fi 45mm (valued at $699)
