Google Pixel Fold, Tablet and 7a.
Google is raising the price of the Pixel 8 series, more than expected.
It is hardly surprising that the upcoming Pixel 8 smartphones will be more expensive than their predecessors. Google was surprisingly able to keep prices up from 2021 with the Pixel 7 series, but that will no longer be possible in 2023. Global conditions are responsible for this, but so is the use of new hardware. Google, for example, relies on a new image sensor for the main camera.
There is good news and bad news. As we already suspected, the alleged leak from a few days ago was quite a lot of nonsense. The bad news, however, is that prices will still rise sharply. Dealabs A very good source for this and has recently proven to be reliable for Euro prices.
New storage variants and exclusive colors on Google Store
Will you start talking? Pixel 8 prices should start at 799 instead of 649 euros. The variant with 256 GB will probably cost 859 euros. With the Pixel 8 Pro, the price hike is even more pronounced. 1,099 euros instead of 899 euros will probably be due to start. It costs 1,159 euros for 256 GB and 1,299 euros for the new variant with 512 GB.
At least one is hoping for an action start. I can well imagine the Pro model being offered again with the Pixel Watch. It will be the Pixel 8 Pro with the Pixel Watch 2 this year. Trade-in offers can also be expected. This often means that Google will pay you more for your old smartphone than it would otherwise.
This means that Google is clearly moving into the premium world, although it is still cheap. A Samsung Galaxy S23 costs more than 900 euros, the Xiaomi 13 is available from only 999 euros. We are still well served with the Pixel 8 at 799 euros, we should not fail to mention it.
