Tempting, but should you consider them now?

Should you buy Pixel 7 series or Pixel 8 series during this sale?

Yes, the older Pixels are cheaper (especially the Pixel 7) in this sale. But you should exercise caution if you’re purchasing the Pixel 7 series. Firstly, it is two generations old now with the imminent launch of the Pixel 9 series. This means a dated Tensor processor, limited software support, and more. The Pixel 8 is definitely worth considering at Rs 50,000 as you’ll get a clean software experience, good software support, and impressive cameras, which gives it an edge over the Honor 200 Pro and Motorola Edge 50 Ultra in this segment.

Those looking for the latest Pixel device should wait for the Pixel 9 series that’s launching in India on August 14th. According to the Flipkart landing page, only the Pixel 9 Pro XL and Pixel 9 Pro Fold will be launching. If this is true, you should expect the new Pixel phones to cost upwards of Rs 1 lakh. The new phones will bring in upgraded specs, new AI features (which may trickle down to older Pixels), better heat management, and more refinements in various aspects of phone usage. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold, as the name suggests, is a foldable phone.

Here are the expected US starting prices of the new Pixels (the Indian prices may differ).

• Pixel 9 Pro XL: $1,199.99 (about Rs 1,01,000)
• Pixel 9 Pro Fold: $1,799 (Approx. Rs 1,50,981)

The Pixel 9 Pro XL is expected to be the spiritual successor to the Pixel 8 Pro in terms of specs.
