Today brings one of the sharpest discounts we’ve seen yet on the Google Pixel 11: Best Buy is offering the unlocked 256 GB Obsidian Pixel 11 in “excellent” open-box condition for just $747, down from its usual $899. That’s nearly $150 off and marks the lowest price tracked so far across major retailers. Other models in the Pixel 11 line are also appearing at sizeable discounts—but the Obsidian base model at this price stands out. All Pixel 11 variants remain at full price on Amazon.
Other standout Best Buy deals and related Android offers
Beyond the Pixel 11, the Pro versions are getting similar treatment. The 256 GB Olive and 256 GB Canyon Pixel 11 Pro models are listed at $967 each, reduced from their typical $1,099 street price. While these open-box “excellent” condition items don’t always hit the lowest historical prices seen earlier this month, they still deliver some of the best savings we’ve tracked to date.
In case these high-end Pixels are out of your budget, several mid-range and value Android deals are catching attention. TCL’s NXTPAPER line is currently included in an early fall Prime-Day-style sale—phones and tablets are discounted up to 30%. The NXTPAPER 70 Pro unlocked model (128 GB) has dropped to $279.99, while the 60 XE 5G version starts around $180 for its 128 GB trim. Features include a 50 MP main lens, 8 MP ultra-wide and 32 MP front cameras, and the standout NXTPAPER 4.0 display with multiple viewing modes.
Why this matters now
These open-box deals arrive just as Pixel 11 has been available new at regular price with only short-lived promos on Amazon—making Best Buy’s “excellent” condition offers particularly tempting. For buyers wanting the latest, the Pixel 11 series is still relatively new, so seeing discounts this steep so soon signals pricing pressure in the Android flagship segment. On the other hand, the NXTPAPER deals show value trickling down to the mid-tier and budget ends with generous feature sets that once only came with premium tags.
For consumers, this is a strong moment to buy if you’re willing to accept open-box stock. If you prefer new units, waiting a few weeks might yield similar savings post-launch, especially as retailers chase inventory turnover. Either way, these deals underscore a growing trend: flagship price compression driven by competition across both premium and affordable tiers in Android phones.
