Pixel 8 series gets a massive price cut after Pixel 9 launch
Google launched its flagship Pixel 9 lineup at the company’s Made by Google event on Tuesday. As expected, with the new lineup set to go on sale soon, the company has decided to cut the prices of last generation’s Pixel 8 series and Pixel 7a smartphones.
Pixel 8 series, Pixel 7 price cut in India:
Pixel 8 Pro has received the most price cuts after the new launches, and both the 128GB and 256GB variants are now cheaper by ₹7,000 in India. Meanwhile, the standard Pixel 8 is now cheaper by ₹4,000 for the 128GB variant and ₹5,000 for the 256GB variant. The Pixel 8a has also received a price cut and is now ₹3,000 cheaper, while the Pixel 7a has been slashed by ₹2,000.
The entire Pixel 8 range is powered by Google’s Tensor G4 chipset and has already received a number of Gemini AI-related upgrades. Meanwhile, the Pixel 7a is powered by the older Tensor G2 chip.

Made in India Pixel 8 to hit markets soon:
Google had also recently annoucned that the first batch of Made in India Pixel 8 devices have started rolling off the production lines. The news comes as the Android maker increases its focus in India in a bid to replicate the success of Apple and Samsung’s premium offerings.
Notably, this is the first time that Google has released all Pixel 9 devices including Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Watch 2 Pro in India. Last year while Google had brought the Pixel 8, 8 Pro and 8a editions to India, the company has refrained from bringing the more costlier Pixel Fold.
