Google’s first Pixel 8 devices made in India are ready​


google pixel 8


The launch of Google’s Pixel 8 series also came with the announcement that Google would start producing Pixel phones out of India directly. Now, that’s finally started as the first Pixel 8 phones made in India are coming off of the production lines.

Google has officially confirmed that its production lines in India have started churning out Pixel 8 devices. It’s the first time that Google will be making Pixels directly in India, and comes just under a year after the expansion was announced.

Speaking to TechCrunch, Google confirmed that only the base Pixel 8 is being produced in India for now, with the Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel 8a being produced elsewhere. The outlet also cites sources that Google’s partners are working with Dixon Technologies to manufacture Pixel devices in India.

India still isn’t a particularly strong market for Google, with previous reports claiming that “most” devices produced in India would end up being exported to other markets around the globe.

These newly produced devices are likely set to start shipping from the production lines in India to customers within the country and other locations soon.

Meanwhile, Google is set to announce the Pixel 9 series tomorrow, but it’s unclear what the company has planned for Pixel 9 production in India.

Zoom in even more with Zoom Enhance — even after you’ve taken a photo​

Zoom Enhance intelligently fills in the gaps between pixels and predicts fine details for high-quality, post-capture zoom results. It will be available on Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL and Pixel 9 Pro Fold, and is rolling out to Pixel 8 Pro starting today.

Is it worth the extra $50-60 to get the normal pixel 8 over 8a? Because I don't see much difference between the 2

if you don't see the diff, then it's not worth it to you, especially if you are comparing their actual SRP. But for price difference you are talking about, then it's a no brainer to go for p8.

Did you go down to challenger and have a feel of both devices in hand and see their display for yourself?

Pixel 8a bezels are huge compared to pixel 8.

where are you getting from that the difference is just 50-60? I thought the difference is much more even during lazada/shoppee sale
