Pixel 8 prices in Europe are filtered out and offer an unexpected surprise

There’s not much we can learn about the next Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro as a series of leaks have revealed just about everything in recent days. Knowing many of its technical characteristics and even design, only one main question remained open: the price.

Now a new leak has revealed what the price of both terminals will be in Europe. And he’s bulky. Quite a bit when compared with previous models. Prices including VAT of 23% (average for the European Union) point to unprecedented growth. similar to what terminals from other manufacturers experienced.

Although there were rumors that both terminals would be sold at a higher price of around 50-100 euros, the truth is that they stayed closer to the upper range than the lower one. If you listen to the rumors, the next Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro will hit the European market for €874.25 (~$942) in the 128GB version. Without taxes, prices for the same model would have remained at 710.77 euros.

Google is also banking on a general price increase for the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.

For the Pro version, the prices are even more outrageous when you consider what Google has so far charged for one of the terminals. According to the latest leak, The Pixel 8 Pro will hit the European market for €1,235 (~$1,331). in the 128GB model, €1,309 (~$1,411) for the 256GB model and €1,461 (~$1,575) for the 512GB model. Everything, the price includes 23% VAT, which, yes, does not apply to all European countries.

Now it remains to be seen whether the price increase is accompanied by an improvement in its characteristics. Not just in terms of pure numbers, but whether Google can fix all those unresolved issues that have marred some of the experience of last year’s models. Both Samsung and Apple raised their prices too, but they came improving the user experience of your terminals and its overall quality, the same thing Google is expected to do with the Pixel 8.

Be that as it may, everything points to the fact that both the Pixel 8 and the Pixel 8 Pro, which will be present in Octoberthey will ship with the Tensor G3, a 6.17-inch OLED FHD+ screen on the base model, and a 6.7-inch LTPO OLED QHD+ screen on the Pro version.
