Google announces price cuts for Pixel 8 Pro and other older models
Google has announced price cuts across a slew of previous-generation models in India following the launch of its flagship Pixel 9 series on Tuesday. The list of discounted smartphones includes the entire three-model Pixel 8 lineup, as well as a select few from the Pixel 7 series. The development comes a day after Google confirmed that it has started production of the standard Pixel 8 in India — a move that was first announced during the Google for India event in October 2023.

The discounts have been rolled out across all storage configurations in the Pixel smartphone lineup, but the major one applies to the Pixel 8 Pro.

Meanwhile, the Pixel 8 price now starts at Rs. 71,999, up from its launch price of Rs. 75,999.
Discounts of Rs. 3,000 and Rs. 2,000 have also been rolled out on the Pixel 8a and Pixel 7a, respectively. The full new price list of the Pixel smartphone lineup in India is mentioned below.

The discounts are not tied to a limited-time offer and are permanent. Google says the new prices will go live in the coming weeks. All smartphones can be purchased from Flipkart, Google’s only authorized retailer in India.
However, the tech giant has also announced the offline availability of its new Pixel 9 series, which will go on sale across retailers like Reliance Digital and Croma. Additionally, it will also be setting up walk-in centres in Bengaluru, Delhi and Mumbai, where prospective buyers can experience the new devices before deciding to buy them.
