TL;DR: Starting Aug. 12, AT&T customers can get the Google Pixel 11 Pro XL for $0 with an eligible trade-in — up to $1,350 off the 256GB model after 36 monthly bill credits.

Feeling the itch for a new phone? AT&T has a deal that makes the upgrade a lot easier to justify. Starting Aug. 12, the carrier is offering the Google Pixel 11 Pro XL for $0 with an eligible trade-in, giving fans of the bigger screen a shot at a free upgrade.

Some fine print worth noting:

  • Requires an installment plan paired with AT&T's Extra 2.0 plan or higher (at least $80/month before discounts)
  • Applies to the 256GB model, worth up to $1,350 off after 36 monthly bill credits
  • Needs a minimum of $1,349.99 on the installment plan to qualify
  • Reserved for well-qualified customers, with credits starting within your first three bills
  • If you cancel service, credits stop, and any remaining device balance becomes due right away
  • A $35 activation or upgrade fee, plus taxes and other charges, also applies

If you're already eyeing AT&T's higher-tier plans, this is the best way to get the biggest Pixel on the market without paying anything upfront.
