Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro Get Massive Discounts on Flipkart Ahead of Pixel 9 Launch
Ahead of the Google Pixel 9 series launch in India on August 14, the tech giant has announced massive discounts for its Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro models on Flipkart. This is a great opportunity for those who have been eyeing these devices but were hesitant due to the price.
The Pixel 8, originally launched at Rs 75,999, is now available for Rs 62,999. Additionally, buyers can avail an instant bank discount of Rs 4,000 on ICICI Bank credit and debit cards, bringing the effective price down to Rs 58,999. This translates to a total discount of Rs 17,000.
The Pixel 8 Pro, initially priced at Rs 1,06,999, is now selling at Rs 98,999. On top of this, buyers can get an instant discount of Rs 10,000 on ICICI Bank credit and debit cards, further reducing the price to Rs 88,999. This means a total discount of Rs 18,000.
With these attractive discounts, the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro become even more compelling options for those seeking a premium Android experience. However, if you're willing to wait, the upcoming Pixel 9 series might offer even more advanced features and potentially better value for money.
The Pixel 9 series, including the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, will also be available for purchase on Flipkart soon. These devices are expected to boast curved edges, a flat frame, and a floating island camera design. They might also come in a new Pink color option alongside black and off-white.
In terms of pricing, the Pixel 9 is expected to start at around €899 (approximately Rs 80,000) for the base storage option, while the Pixel 9 Pro might start at €1,099 (approximately Rs 97,500).
Ultimately, the decision of whether to buy the discounted Pixel 8 series or wait for the Pixel 9 series depends on your individual needs and budget. If you're looking for a great deal on a powerful and feature-rich phone right now, the Pixel 8 series is a fantastic option. However, if you're willing to wait and want the latest and greatest technology, the Pixel 9 series might be worth the wait.
