With Google's upcoming October event just hours away, the highly anticipated Google Pixel and Pixel XL are under the spotlight. And of course, the image of the two devices are only getting clearer and clearer. The most recent update are the prices, which might come as a surprise to most individuals.
The Pixel And Pixel XL: Prices
According to Android Police, the smaller device, which is the Google Pixel, will cost as much as US$649. This could only mean that the larger Google Pixel XL is likely to sell upwards of at least US$700.
Originally, the lower price was pegged to be for the bigger, more high end device. However, the publication's source that it will actually be for the base model of the Pixel, which will come with 32GB of internal storage.
To Be Honest, It's A Little Pricey
Considering that the new units are meant to replace the affordable line of Nexus products, the price is coming as a bit of a shock. However, despite being manufactured by HTC, Google seems to be taking the reigns for distribution and sales. And with that, the search engine giant is supposedly providing financing options.
Furthermore, the price is supposed to include accidental damage coverage and an additional year of warranty.
Where To Get The Devices
Because Google is in the driver's seat, the best place to purchase the Pixel and Pixel XL are at the Google Store. However, a leak caught by Tech Times indicates differently.
Apparently,Bell Canada already has the devices on its website. The same only proves that there will be other avenues to purchase the items. For the United States, rumors suggest that the Google handhelds will be available from Verizon and Sprint.
The page of Bell Canada, which may have been mistakenly made live, also confirms that the Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL will be made available on October 4.
