Google Pixel 8 series could get a big price hike in Europe
Leak suggests the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro will launch in four colors
Leaks suggest that the Pixel 8 prices in Europe would be as follows (23% VAT included):
-
Pixel 8 - 128GB: €874.25;
-
Pixel 8 - 256GB: €949.30;
-
Pixel 8 Pro - 128GB: €1,235.72;
-
Pixel 8 Pro - 256GB: €1,309.95;
-
Pixel 8 Pro - 512GB: €1,461.24.
A really fat price hike if it's true. Would you still go for a Pixel 8/8 Pro at these prices?
I personally see the Pixel 7 line becoming even more attractive as right now in Europe you can find a Pixel 7a for €479 (Amazon promo), a Pixel 7 for €533 (offers on Amazon, otherwise €649 on Google Store) and a Pixel 7 Pro for €789 (another Amazon promo).
Guess I'm keeping my 7 Pro until it's unusable then.
12Or a better, reasonably priced replacement is released.
2I'm planning to do this.
The pixel 7 Pro has a good camera and it's quick. Battery is ok at best.But overall I might keep this a couple of years rather than wasting money

I'm not paying that, that's definitely the end of me getting pixel devices.
6Honestly the Pixel 7 line looks really good here, especially with the possible upcoming discounts on Google's 25th anniversary if you live in Europe (see my other post). You might get one year less of guaranteed updates if you pick a Pixel 7 instead of a Pixel 8 but I guess paying almost double the price for just one year more of updates is kinda hard to justify.

If I end up upgrading from P5. I'll probably do it later from Amazon at reduced price.
P5 honestly doesn't feel old at all for me.
4If that's true I'll just go back to custom ROMs on a fairly priced device
4Hard to tell without knowing the specs. If it doesn't offer improvements over 7pro, the 7 is a much better deal. The article doesn't really provide the value information to make form an opinion.
