With foldable buzz cooling off after the iPhone Duo launch, this week turns the spotlight back on slab-style phones. Google has unexpectedly discounted the Pixel 11 lineup, and Samsung is also offering significant savings across the Galaxy S26 series. Here are the standout deals available now.
Google Pixel 11 Pro
$300 offRead our review16/512GB - $920 at Amazon US
The Pixel 11 Pro is currently 27% off, bringing the base model down to $800. Jumping to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage adds $120; note that on this generation, the 256GB Pro and Pro XL ship with less RAM than their higher-storage counterparts—a change from earlier models. The phone still delivers better battery endurance, faster wireless charging, an improved (though not perfect) chipset, and 4K60 HDR video capture.
Google Pixel 11
$200 offRead our review12/512GB - $820 at Amazon US
Google’s standard Pixel 11 has a smaller 22% discount, starting at $700. Since only $100 separates it from the Pixel 11 Pro, the Pro is the better buy for most people—it adds an LTPO display, better telephoto and ultra-wide cameras, and the option for 16GB of RAM.
Google Pixel 11 Pro XL
$350 offRead our review16/512GB - $1,070 at Amazon US
If you want the 6.8-inch screen instead of the 6.3-inch panel on the other two models, the Pixel 11 Pro XL is $350 off. It also offers noticeably faster charging and improved speakers.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra
$295/$445 offRead our review12/512GB - $1,155 at Walmart
Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra has actually become more expensive over the past couple of weeks. A 256GB unit was $950 and a 512GB unit was $1,050 recently; both now cost $155 and $105 more, respectively. That leaves a significant price gap between the Ultra and the Pixel 11 Pro XL.
Samsung Galaxy S26+
$390/$455 offRead our review12/512GB - $945 at Walmart
The Galaxy S26+ is a different story. The 256GB version is $25 cheaper than a couple of weeks ago, while the 512GB upgrade remains the same price. It’s thinner and lighter than the Ultra and costs less, though the Ultra remains the more capable device overall. Compared with the S25+, this model gains a faster chipset, longer battery life, better speakers, and some camera refinements.
Samsung Galaxy S26
$270/$390 offRead our review12/512GB - $810 at Walmart
The standard Galaxy S26 starts at $730 for 256GB, and the 512GB version is now $810—down from $890 two weeks ago. That keeps it $70 and $110 below the matching Pixel 11 Pro configurations. It runs on a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, which is a major step up from the Tensor G6. Battery life is nearly identical, but the Galaxy charges slightly faster, though it lacks magnetic charging unless you buy a special case.
Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold
$250 off16/512GB - $1,770 at Amazon US
Google’s Pixel 11 Pro Fold is also discounted, which is rare. The base model is $250 cheaper than the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. The chipset advantage again goes to Samsung. The Galaxy has a better main camera (200MP 1/1.3 vs 48MP 1/1.56-inch), but the Pixel’s telephoto reaches further (10.8MP 5x/112mm vs 10MP 3x/69mm). Both have similar 6.5-inch cover and 8.0-inch inner displays, but the Galaxy is thinner and lighter.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra
$200 offRead our review12/512GB - $2,100 at Amazon US
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is $200 off, with the 12/256GB model at $1,900 and 12/512GB at $2,100.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8
$200 offRead our review12/512GB - $1,900 at Amazon US
The wider Galaxy Z Fold8 is closer in price to the Pixel Fold, but it belongs to a different category. It features a 7.6-inch 4:3 inner display and a 5.5-inch cover display with a roughly 16:10 aspect ratio. It misses out on the Ultra’s 200MP main camera and has no telephoto lens at all.
Apple iPhone Duo
512GB - $2,200 at Apple
1TB - $2,600 at Apple
2TB - $3,200 at Apple
Apple’s first foldable, the iPhone Duo, is in short supply, and some units have displayed screen issues. Apple is replacing affected devices, but demand is outstripping supply, so discounts are unlikely in the near term. It remains available at full price.

Pixel 11 Pro Fold - $65 at Amazon US
If you’re buying a Pixel 11, Google’s Pixelsnap cases add magnetic Qi 2 charging. Slab Pixel 11 cases cost $40, while the case for the foldable is $65—both $10 off.
Google Pixel Buds Pro 2
