As the smartphone market heats up, Google has launched its highly anticipated Pixel 11 series, which is now available for pre-order along with some lucrative trade-in offers. Meanwhile, Samsung has responded with price drops on its Galaxy Z8 foldables and S26 models, making it an exciting time for tech enthusiasts. Here’s everything you need to know about the latest devices and their deals.
Google unveiled its new Pixel 11 lineup earlier this week, featuring a standard model, two Pro variants, and its first foldable. A notable adjustment to this series is the standard 256GB storage across all models, while RAM starts at 12GB for the vanillas and pros—16GB is reserved for the higher storage versions of the Pro models. The Pixel 11 is currently available for pre-order and will officially hit the shelves on August 20, with Amazon offering enticing trade-in bonuses during this period.

No less impressive is the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, which brings a lighter design with a more refined camera system, although it sacrifices some battery capacity in the process.
