Do prices vary globally?

Yes, prices for tech like the Pixel 11 often vary quite a bit between countries. This is due to things like local taxes, import duties, currency exchange rates, and even different market strategies by companies like Google. So, the US prices leaked on Amazon won't be exactly what people pay in the UK or elsewhere.
