Major Discounts Hit Pixel 11 Series and Samsung Galaxy Z8 Foldables
Google Pixel 11 discounts are now live across the series, with the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, and Pixel 11 Pro XL all available at reduced prices on their 256GB variants. Samsung‘s latest foldables—the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, and Galaxy Z Flip8—are also on sale this week, alongside discounted pricing on Xiaomi‘s 17 and 17T lineups. If you’re shopping for a flagship phone right now, there are several solid options worth exploring.
Pixel 11 Discounts and What’s New
The Pixel 11 discounts apply to the full flagship range, though availability is limited to the 256GB storage tier. The Pixel 11 Pro deal stands out because it bundles a pair of Pixel Buds Pro 2 at no extra cost, making it a particularly attractive offer for anyone wanting both a new phone and wireless earbuds. The new Pixel 11 series brings the Tensor G6 chipset, slightly larger batteries compared to last year’s models, upgraded cameras, Android 17, and a useful LED notification light on the back.
If the Pixel 11 discounts don’t appeal to you, Google‘s previous-generation Pixel 10 Pro is worth a look. It’s currently available with a £250 discount applied at checkout. The Pixel 10 Pro runs the Tensor G5 chipset, features a 6.3 inch LTPO AMOLED display, and includes a triple rear camera setup—solid specs that still hold up well today.
