That would be sad, cause it will create the false impression that pixel is a budget/ mid range phone.
In SG alot of flagship buyers as evident by sales of samsung and apple.
SG has got no short of budget/mid range phone brands. So many options offering better hardware value compared to pixel.
It only will further decrease their market share imo, unless there was something very compelling for pixel to offer at this range. Like maybe unlimited storage or price is undercut.
If by march\april don't launch. Even if they do, have to reconsider based on price or throw in more freebies.
There's no point in getting unless the price is cheaper after that period since pixel 7 gonna come.
Like the S21 FE

so awkward.
