Every single Pixel 11 model – along with the Google Pixel 10a, which you can currently get from Amazon for $524/£399 (was $599/£499) – is now on sale. So between this mid-range option and the higher-end Google Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold, there should be something for just about everyone.
But with so many options, which should you choose? We’ve got you covered – scroll down for a look at their key differences. But first, here are Amazon’s current Pixel 11 series offers:

So, which pixel is right for you? Well, that depends on both your budget and what features you need.
The Google Pixel 10a is the cheapest of these discounted models, but despite not having ’11’ in its name, it still launched this year – although its Tensor G4 chipset is two generations old, so it’s not exactly a powerhouse.
Still, it runs the same slick Android operating system as other Pixels and comes with the promise of seven major Android version updates. In our Google Pixel 10a review, we also praised its 6.3-inch screen, dual-lens camera (with a 48MP wide sensor and a 13MP ultrawide) and long-lasting 5,100mAh battery.
So, if you don’t need a big screen or top-end power, this is a strong choice. It’s perfect if you mostly just use your phone for social media, web browsing and communication.
If you are good with a small screen ma to do want more power – or more capable specs elsewhere – then the Google Pixel 11 could be the phone for you.
This device also has a 6.3-inch display, but it has a new Tensor G6 chipset, 12GB of RAM, and a triple-lens camera, with a 48MP wide, a 13MP ultrawide, and a 10.8MP telephoto offering 5x optical zoom.
The Pixel 11 has largely the same strengths and weaknesses as the Pixel 10a while also being better in almost every way – but of course it also costs more. It is a better choice if you take a lot of photos, want a telephoto camera, or like to play mobile games.
Next, there is the Google Pixel 11 Pro, which again has a 6.3-inch screen, but it can reach a brighter 3,600 nits, and the top (1TB) model of this also comes with more RAM than the Pixel 11, at 16GB. The triple-lens camera is also higher spec, with two 48MP sensors and one 50MP, all of which combine to make this Google’s best – and most expensive – compact phone.
So, buy the 11 Pro if you want a true flagship phone with a smaller display that is capable of running high-end games and the most advanced AI, and can take fantastic photos. It is a strong all-rounder.
If you want a bigger screen than the 11 Pro offers, you should check out the Google Pixel 11 Pro XL – this is largely the same phone as the Pixel 11 Pro but with a larger 6.8-inch screen and a higher capacity 5,115mAh battery (up to 4,850mAh in the Pixel 11 Pro).
It has all the same benefits of the Pixel 11 Pro, but it trades a compact design for a screen that’s ideal for watching videos and playing games, and a battery that lasts all day and beyond.
Finally, there is the Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold, which is the most expensive model, but then you get two screens – an 8.0-inch foldable and a 6.5-inch cover screen. So this is the model to buy if you think you want a phone and tablet all in one.
That said, its camera specs are a bit worse than on the Pro models, so consider whether you really need a phone with two screens – and if you do, whether buying a separate tablet might not be a better idea.
