Google Pixel 6 might be cheaper than you think
In This Article
TheGoogle Pixel 6might not be as expensive as its premium design suggests, if recent tips are to be believed.
M. Brandon Lee of theThis is Tech TodayYouTube channel has claimed that Pixel 6 pricing will start from just €649, while theGoogle Pixel 6 Prowill start from €899.
To place that in context, last year’sPixel 5cost €629 at launch, so it represents a year-on-year bump of just €20 for the base model. The Pixel 4 before that cost €699.
Now consider that everything points to the baseline Pixel 6 being a far more premium device than the Pixel 5 before it. Google’s new smartphone is likely to feature a more desirable three-tone industrial design with a matte aluminium finish, a much more capable custom Tensor processor, a larger AMOLED display, and a vastly improved camera system.
As for the top-end Pixel Pro, €899 is the same launch price as theOnePlus 9 Pro. It also falls dead in between theSamsung Galaxy S21and theSamsung Galaxy S21 Plus.
In other words, the Google Pixel 6 Pro probably won’t be joining the elite smartphone tier of theSamsung Galaxy S21 Ultraand theXiaomi Mi 11 Ultra.
Elsewhere, the report confirms that Google will be officially announcing the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro on October 19.
