Google launched the Pixel 8 series at a higher price than the 7 series, and that was a big factor in how people voted in last week’s poll. Nearly four in ten voters think the Pixel 8 Pro is too expensive for what it offers, even with its exclusive new features.
But there’s one obstacle to overcome before you can reach the “buy” button: the Google Store only sells Pixels in a few countries. Google is slowly improving on this front: the Pixel 6 series launched in 9 countries, then the Pixel 7 series was available in 17 countries, and now the 2023 models are available in 20 countries. This still leaves many potential buyers no choice but to import and hope for the best.
Coming back to the price, $1,000/€1,100/₹107,000 is a lot to invest in a phone, so many are waiting until reviews prove that the Pixel 8 Pro is worthy of its price. Of course, Google promises 7 years of updates, so the cost can be spread over a longer period of time.
But people have their doubts, especially regarding the Tensor G3 chipset.
