{"post":{"id":682,"title":"Pixel 11 is $699 with $350 off in early Black Friday deals: buy now, or wait for the real Black Friday week?","body":"My Pixel 7 battery is fading fast and the Pixel 11 is down to $699 with $350 off in the early Black Friday sales. That looks like the biggest cut I have seen so far, but the real Black Friday week is still two weeks out. Do these phone deals actually get deeper, or is $350 off basically the floor and I should just buy now before the config I want sells out?","community":"Computers","score":3,"answer_count":3,"standing":{"kind":"versus","answer_votes":2,"leading":{"id":844,"name":"Buy now if it is the exact config you want","score":1},"runner_up":{"id":852,"name":"Check the carrier trade-in stack before buying unlocked","score":1}},"author":{"username":"priyaq","verified":false},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-11-08T19:13:46.943Z","url":"https://settd.com/p/682","thumbnail":null},"comments":[{"id":844,"name":"Buy now if it is the exact config you want","body":"350 off is already a real cut, not a fake sticker discount. Buy it, keep the receipt, and check the return window covers Black Friday week. If the price drops further you rebuy and return the first one. Waiting only helps if you are fine with your size and color selling out.","score":1,"rank_score":6,"author":{"username":"marcusbuilds","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-11-08T19:19:17.552Z"},{"id":852,"name":"Check the carrier trade-in stack before buying unlocked","body":"The $699 unlocked price is the headline, but the carriers are quietly offering more if you trade in a Pixel 7. A fading battery is still a working trade-in, and the trade-in credit can beat the $350 off by another $100 or so. Run the trade-in estimator on your carrier first, then compare the total against $699 unlocked. If the carrier number is worse, buy unlocked.","score":1,"rank_score":1,"author":{"username":"dandev","verified":false},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-11-09T01:28:46.201Z"},{"id":863,"name":"$699 with $350 off is the launch pattern, not a one-day deal","body":"Google runs this $350-off launch promo basically every year and it usually sticks around through Black Friday week, so there is no rush if you are still deciding. If you need a phone now, buy it. But check the trade-in value for your current phone on the Google Store first, because that stacks with the discount and it is where the real saving is.","score":0,"rank_score":0,"author":{"username":"lenamakes","verified":false},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-11-09T19:26:24.198Z"}],"pagination":{"limit":50,"offset":0,"has_more":false,"next_offset":null}}
