For Google’s 2023 Pixels, you should be ready to pay extra.

• Leaked prices for the next Pixel 8 series in Europe range from €710.77 to roughly €1,500, based on the storage option and model. This would indicate that the forthcoming Pixel 8 series will likely be priced higher in Europe when compared to prior Pixel models.
• There have been rumblings for some time now regarding potential price increases for the Pixel 8.
• However, you should take these allegedly leaked pricing with a pinch of salt because there is a possibility that they are not totally accurate. We will not have access to any official information regarding the 2023 Pixels until the event that Google is hosting on October 4th.

In the United States, the pricing of a Pixel phone has traditionally been competitive with that of other flagship models, such as those offered by Samsung, Xiaomi, and Apple. This was also the case with their pricing in Europe, with the base costs for the 2022 Pixel 7 as well as 7 Pro beginning at €649 along with €849, respectively, before any applicable taxes were taken into account. Prepare yourself for a rude awakening if you were anticipating that the Google Pixel 8 series was going to have comparable pricing in Europe the first time around. A recent rumor says that Google’s next Pixels would have much higher prices in the European Union (EU).

It would appear that the base model of the Pixel 8 with 128GB of storage will retail for €874.25 in Europe, which accounts for the VAT rate of 23%. The price would be €710.77 if tax were excluded from it. Google is planning to charge €771.79 (before VAT) to purchase the 256GB configuration, which comes out to €949.30 (with tax).

According to a claim from TheTechOutlook, the price of the Pixel 8 Pro will be increased even further. The price of the most basic model will be an astounding 1,004.65 euros before VAT or 1,235.72 euros including VAT. It appears that the 256GB as well as 512GB variants will be sold for €1065 and €1,188 respectively if the 23% VAT is included. When taxes are taken into account, the price of the 512GB Pixel 8 Pro is going to be close to €1,500.

The speculation that the price of Google’s Pixel 8 will go up will not be the initial occasion that it has been voiced online. According to a source from the 10th of July, the Google Pixel 8 could have a price tag of $600 in the United States. This would put it at a $50 premium over the Pixel 7. A similar price increase in the EU is therefore not completely ruled out if one occurs in the United States.

However, you should probably take this leak with a grain of salt, and despite the fact that the Pixel 8 would cost more, the prices that were allegedly leaked might not be totally accurate.

The hues that the Pixel 8 Pro and 8 will be available in according to the rumor as well. There are four possible color options for the introduction of the smaller Pixel: rose, obsidian, hazel, as well as mint. The larger Pixel 8 Pro will be available in the colors Bay, Porcelain, Obsidian, and Mint when it first goes on sale. The Porcelain color variant of Google’s flagship Pixel smartphone was accidentally made public.

Given that Google is currently planning an Events by Google mixer to take place on October 4th, it will be another couple of weeks before we have all of the information regarding the 2023 Pixels. This is assuming that there won’t be any leaks that wind up ruining Google’s party.
