The Pixel 8 with 128GB of storage will cost €874 inclusive of 23% VAT, while the 256GB option will cost €949.
In comparison, the Pixel 7 started at €650 when it was first released.
The Pixel 8 Pro will start at €1,235 for the base 128GB model and rise to €1,309 for the 256GB model.
Choosing the 512GB model will result in an even higher price of €1,461.

It is worth mentioning that these price increases appear to be excessively high.
It’s implying that this news should be interpreted with caution.

The Pixel model will be available in Hazel, Obsidian, Rose, and Mint colours, while the Pro model will be available in Bay, Obsidian, Porcelain, and Mint.
