Pixel 11 Pro XL allegedly listed on Turkish grey market for $1,700 ahead of release

An unannounced batch of Google Pixel 11 Pro XL retail units has reportedly made an early appearance online, with claims that the device is already available for preorder on the Turkish grey market for an eye-watering $1,700.

The claim comes from X user @erenylmaz075, who posted an image showing seven sealed retail boxes labeled "Google Pixel 11 Pro XL." The image shows the sides of the boxes, with serial numbers, IMEIs, and tracking barcodes at the bottom heavily blacked out to prevent identification.

While premature hardware leaks are relatively common for the Pixel lineup, bulk listings appearing before an official announcement warrant significant caution. High tariffs on consumer electronics in markets like Turkey frequently drive up grey-market prices for imported technology, but early preorders of this nature often carry a high risk of involving stolen pre-production stock, region-locked test units, or outright counterfeit listings.

Google has not commented on the image, and the authenticity of the boxes remains unverified.
