You Could Be 1 of 15 to Test the Pixel 11 Before It Launches
Pitch your unique design ideas to Google—and watch them come to life.
Let’s be real—we’ve all seen a new phone launch and thought, “I could fix that flaw.” I’ve even wondered why brands don’t bring everyday people in to weigh in on those little details before release. Sure, the average user might not be a pro at how UI and UX work together—but for once, you could be.
Google is giving a select group of its most die-hard fans a seat at the table. Through its Trusted Tester program, the company is inviting 15 Pixel Superfans to help shape the upcoming Pixel 11. You’ll get early access to unreleased hardware and features, plus share feedback straight with Google’s design and product teams .
Fill Out Google’s Form to Join the Superfans Club
What makes a Pixel Superfan? Someone who’s truly invested in Google’s Pixel ecosystem—that’s the line between casual users and you. You’re the type who tracks every update and cares where the brand goes next. Maybe you own multiple Pixel devices, or you’re always playing with exclusive AI tools like Magic Eraser.
If that sounds like you, the Superfans program is open—and it’s free. For now, though, it’s only available to residents of the U.S., UK, and Germany . Members score awesome perks: Q&As with top engineers, early news drops, discounts, exclusive merch, and even invites to private events or product previews. It’s basically elite status—and total bragging rights.
To join, you’ll need to fill out an extensive form on Google’s website. You’ll share basics like your name, age, and email, check off which Pixel devices you own, and rate just how much you love the brand. Finally, you’ll confirm you meet the eligibility rules: you’re 18 or older, not a journalist or government employee, and live in one of those three countries .
You Might Score a Free Pixel Unit
I’m a little disappointed about the press restriction, but it makes sense—journalists need to report objectively, and keeping insider secrets under wraps would be tough. A key part of the program? Testers get to try the upcoming Pixel 11, and each will receive a pre-release unit .
You will have to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), and Google will send you a bulky protective case to hide the phone. If someone spots it in public, it should just look like a no-name device . The program is for enthusiastic consumers, not professionals—blurring the line between honest feedback and brand promotion gets messy when free gear is involved.
Google hasn’t spilled the details on what this round of fans will get, but last year, community members shared they got a 15% discount at the Google Store—and that jumped to 20% if they referred a friend . The fine print was fuzzy, but those with codes said it worked on most accessories and even some hardware—though no one was sure if it applied to the Pixel 9 series back then.
