The Pixel 8 – which is a flagship smartphone from Google – is available on Flipkart at an affordable price. The premium device is selling at Rs 63,999, down from its launch price of Rs 75,999. This means Flipkart has reduced the cost of this flagship phone by Rs 12,000. In addition to this, consumers who have an ICICI bank credit card will be able to claim an extra discount of Rs 8,000. This will effectively drop the price to Rs 55,999, making the deal look quite attractive.
Those who are planning to sell their old phone can consider checking out exchange offers on Flipkart. The Pixel 8 buyers can claim up to Rs 54,000 discount on the exchange of your old device; however, do keep in mind that the platform never gives full exchange value to consumers and the amount is calculated based on your old device’s age and condition. One can also check out the exchange price on Cashify to have an idea of which platform is giving the best deal.
The Pixel 8 is the phone for those who appreciate the compact form factor. Of course, you can always get the iPhone 15 Pro, which perfectly fits the bill for a compact powerhouse phone. But, then again — if you are someone who prefers Android to iOS, and a compact flagship phone is what you want — the Pixel 8 fits the bill.
Rocking top-of-the-line hardware such as 2,000 nits bright 6.2-inch OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, a premium metal and glass build, the Tensor G3 chip under the hood with 8GB RAM and up to 256GB storage, and a reliable camera system which is easily in the top 3 best camera phones right now — there’s no doubt that the Pixel 8 is easily one of the best and the smartest devices you can buy right now. And, speaking of smart, the Pixel 8 is loaded with a bunch of AI features.
The general performance is smooth and while it heats a bit while gaming, it is capable of offering fast performance to users. The gaming is good at medium settings (30fps) in demanding games like Genshin Impact. All-in-all, it is a good phone for stock Android lovers. However, do keep in mind that Google doesn’t bundle a fast charger in the retail box along with the smartphone, just like Samsung and Apple. This could be a deal breaker for some, but people could also consider using an older charger to save money. Another point to note here is that it has support for only 27W fast charging, which is lower than what some other Android phones are offering out of the box.
