Tech giant Google announced its plans to manufacture Pixel 8 smartphones in India last year, however, now the company has started rolling out the Pixel 8 phones from its production line in the country. Google has declared the news on a social media platform through a post. The tech company is committed to its plans to manufacture Google Pixel 8 smartphones made in India for the Indian market with its domestic assembly of the latest Pixel 8 models. Now, the latest Pixel 8 models will be sold along with the made in India stamp on the retail box.
Google has invested enough time to set up local production of the Pixel 8 smartphones in India and has lagged behind companies like Apple, which has been manufacturing iPhones with its suppliers in India for several years. Google also has plans to set up local assembly in partnership with local suppliers, but the company has not revealed any further details on this. It is also uncertain whether the domestic production is limited to the Pixel 8 phones or whether the production of the Pixel 8 Pro version will also take place in India from now on.
There is speculation that Google might sell the India-made Pixel 8 smartphones at a cheaper price in the country, which could change the image of the tech giant. Experts say that it took Apple a couple of years to stabilise the prices of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 models that were manufactured in the country, so it is anticipated that Google might take a similar amount of time to reduce the prices of the India-made Pixel 8 phones for domestic users in the country.
However, just a day before the announcement of the new Pixel 9 series for the Indian market, Google stated that users will be able to purchase the premium handset this year. The company has announced that the Pixel 9 Pro XL and Pixel 9 Pro Fold will also be coming to India, but further details about these products are still unknown.
