The Google Pixel 8 is now available on Flipkart at its lowest-ever price, priced under Rs 50,000. This deal applies to the 128GB variant of the phone. According to the listing on the e-commerce platform, there’s a flat Rs 26,000 discount, bringing the price down to Rs 49,999. Additionally, using an HDFC Bank credit card for EMI transactions will grant an extra Rs 3,000 off, effectively lowering the price to Rs 46,999.
In addition, exchange offers of up to Rs 35,000 are available, further reducing the price of the phone. For example, at the time of writing, we checked the exchange price for a Pixel 7 in good condition, which can fetch up to Rs 13,365. If you receive this amount during the exchange, the effective price of the Pixel 8 drops to around Rs 33,000. If you have an old smartphone lying around, it’s worth considering an exchange. Make sure to format and factory reset the device, saving any important data, and take advantage of this opportunity to save on your new phone purchase.
In August 2024, Google officially announced a price cut for the Pixel 8 series and the Pixel 7a. The Pixel 8, in particular, saw a significant price reduction. The base variant with 128GB, originally launched in India at Rs 75,999, was revised to Rs 71,999. Similarly, the 256GB model, which was previously priced at Rs 82,999, saw a price drop to Rs 77,999.
However, with the currently ongoing offer on Flipkart, the pricing of the Pixel 8 is even lower than that of the Pixel 8a after the price cut in August.
And if you are wondering if the Pixel 8 is still a good choice with the Pixel 9 launched last year, and the Pixel 10 series due for October 2025, we think the phone is still worth considering. In our review of the Pixel 8, we found that the device not only “looks good”, it also has a “fast processor, [and an] amazing camera”. At the time of our review, the only thing we thought that could hold back a purchase of the phone was its steep pricing. However, with the recent price cut and the current discount, the phone will be absolutely worth the money.
