During today's Google launch event, the manufacturer presented the new Pixel devices to us. Even though some of the technical details were already leaked, there were still open questions. Among other things, the exact prices were only a guess so far. However, the rumor that the Pixel 8 devices will be more expensive was quickly confirmed.

Pre-order the Google Pixel 8 without a contract
If you want to buy the standard version of the Google Pixel 8, you have to expect at least 799 for the smallest model. The colors Hazel, Rose, and Obsidian are available. The devices are of course available in the Google Store, but big retailers also offer the new Pixel 8 series. To give you an overview, we have picked out three more retailers.
The Google Pixel 7 (review) launched in October 2022 with a recommended retail price of $599. This year, it is $100 higher, but you now also get a 120 Hz display and the new "Google Tensor G3" processor in the standard model. In addition, the Google Pixel Buds Pro are available here, which get a new update and are available in additional colors.

The Google Pixel 8 Pro is also now available for pre-order in various online stores. Besides Google, Amazon, BestBuy, and others also offer the manufacturer's new flagship. The smartphone is available in the colors Bay, Porcelain, and Obsidian and comes with a free Google Pixel Watch 2 worth $349.
However, all savings fans have to be very brave at this point. Google has raised the recommended retail price of the new device by about $100 compared to the predecessor. However, if you want to buy the device, pre-ordering is doubly worthwhile.
