Anyone here having second thoughts about buying the phone now? I know I am... Was intending to get the P8P now that its flat screen. But that price is way too steep, only $100 less than an iphone 15 pro at the same capacity, idk wtf they were thinking. And the vouchers are honestly really useless for the most part. Even if wait for a price drop its still likely going to be $50-$80 less at most.
I don't know what the Google business side is thinking. The Pixel can still be considered even though there are trade-offs should the price remains the same. With the price increase for the Pro, I am contemplating to make a switch back to an iPhone. If it wasn't for GrapheneOS I wouldn't have purchased a Pixel phone.

I don't understand why the 8 pro is asking for such a big price increase too. Somehow I feel tonight they won't convince me...

It's been leaked until cannot leak liao, it'll only be an iterative upgrade from p7p.

Then why is 128gb p8pro 300 more than p7pro for just an iterative upgrade... Is Google actually able to do this Apple thing now?

Our last hope is that other platforms will have better deals.

Actually shopee if give direct $250 off instead of coins Cashback, plus stack with $80 bank voucher is just $110 more than P7P which is still acceptable to me.

Roughly 1k plus with goggle voucher for p8p 128gb?
$1699 - $250 coins Cashback - $80 UOB bank voucher - $120 google store credit = $1249 SGD which is what I paid at checkout for P7P 256GB last year BEFORE $250 google store credit.

So all told, it's $250 more expensive than P7P.

iPhone can ah, I see some girls still using iPhone 8/8 Plus...
Iphone is iOS will support until the chipset cannot service the os.

Google pixel no guarantees will have anymore than 3 OS updates.

Glancing through the leaked info, we may be paying for all the new AI features ?
Google is a software company after all, very similar to what's happening in the PC gpu market right now.
