The "Made by Google" event will kick off tonight at 6 pm ET on YouTube, with Google officially announcing its new products, including new Pixel phones and watches—but retailers, phone carriers, and the Google website itself are already offering preorder deals for the new products. Here are the best deals you can find so far.

Google is offering bundle and trade-in deals for the Pixel 11 and the Pixel Watch 5. With a Pixel 11 Pro preorder, you'll get $250 off the new Google Pixel Watch 5 (originally $499.99) or $200 in Google Store credit. This deal only applies if you buy the unlocked version and not directly from Google Fi, Verizon, or AT&T. Google is also offering up to $600 back in trade-in credits.

Other models, like the Google Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro Fold, also have similar deals. If you just want one of the Pixel phones, there are trade-in deals if you get it with Google Fi, Verizon, or AT&T. There are also extra trade-in credits for the Pixel Watch 5 and two years of data for the Pixel Watch 5 LTE.

Best Buy is offering the best gift card preorder deal. You can get up to $350 in Best Buy e-gift cards when you pre-order a new unlocked Pixel phone.

The basic Pixel 11 256GB starts at $899 and comes with a $100 gift card.

The Pixel 11 Pro 256GB starts at $1,099 and gets you a $200 gift card.

The Pixel 11 Pro XL 256GB starts at $1,299 and also comes with a $200 gift card.

The Pixel 11 Pro Fold 256GB starts at $1,899 and comes with a $350 gift card.

If you want to go for trade-ins, you can bring the cost of the Pixel 11 down to $99 with qualifying products, specifically if you trade in a Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold for a Google Pixel 11 Pro 256GB. For the Pixel Watch 5, Best Buy is only offering trade-in deals.

If you don't mind being tied down to a carrier contract, T-Mobile and AT&T are offering some good deals.

Get the Pixel 11 or Pixel 11 Pro for free when you trade in an eligible phone in any condition on a 36-month Experience Beyond plan.

Get the Pixel 11 Pro XL for free when you activate a new line on a 36-month Experience Beyond plan (no trade-in required).

Get the Pixel Watch 5 with a $300 discount in 36-month credits when you add a line on an eligible plan.

Get the Pixel 11 Pro for $0 when you trade in any old Google Pixel in any condition when you sign up for a 36-month eligible plan.

Get the Pixel 11 Pro XL for $0 with an eligible trade-in when you sign up for a 36-month eligible plan.
