Earlier today, prices of Google’s upcoming Pixel 8 series in Europe leaked, revealing what can only be described as a gargantuanly massive price increase. If you haven’t read the news yet, hold your breath, because this is going to be a tough pill to swallow.

 128GB256GB512GB

Pixel 7€649€749

Pixel 8€874.25 (+34.7%)€949.30 (+26.7%)

Pixel 7 Pro€899€999€1099

Pixel 8 Pro€1235 (+37.4%)€1309 (+31.3%)€1461 (+32.9%)

If this leak is accurate, we’re looking at an increase of more than 30% on average in the price of a Pixel 8 or Pixel 8 Pro, and European buyers would have to fork an extra €200-300 to buy one of Google’s upcoming flagships. Yikes. We don’t know much about US prices, but previous rumors had suggested a more sensible $50-100 increase. Smaller yikes.
