For the past couple of generations, Google's Pixel phones have dramatically undercut the competition. The Pixel 8 series might end that hot streak.
It seems like the happy days of getting a competitively-priced Pixel smartphone will soon be a thing of the past. Google will launch the Pixel 8 series phones in October, but they might come with a bad sticker price surprise.
Related The Pixel 8 could get a big price increase Disclaimers aside, Dealabs Magazine claims to have got its hands on the EU-wide pricing of the Google Pixel 8 and its Pro variant. It says the Pixel 8 Pro will start at 799 euros in Europe, which translates to $855 based on current conversion rates. That’s a sweet hike 0f 150 euros compared to the Google Pixel 7 in Europe and nearly a $250 bump compared to the Pixel 7’s $599 sticker price.
Sneak Peek at Google Pixel 8 & Pixel 8 Pro Dealabs Magazine claims that the Pixel 8’s 256GB storage variant will go for 856 euros Even if Google hits the currency parity for this one, $850 for the Pixel 8 would be close to what U.S. shoppers currently pay for the excellent Pixel 7 Pro. HotUKDeals also corroborates an identical pricing model for the Pixel 8 pair.
Google will reportedly charge 1,299 euros for the top-tier 512GB model. Even without the currency conversion hit, asking $1,300 for the phone in the U.S. would be hard to swallow. For that premium, the general public gravitates towards the “Pro” iPhones or the “Ultra” Androids by Samsung with all their snazzy camera, stylus, and charging tricks in tow.
