Google has announced the Pixel 7 at a starting price of ₹75,999.
The Google Pixel 8 features a 6.2-inch FHD+ OLED display that supports 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy processor coupled with 8GB RAM.
The Pixel 8 series has finally arrived with a lot of cool features and not-so-cool prices. Sadly, Google has announced the Pixel 7 at a starting price of ₹75,999 and the Pixel 8 Pro at a price of ₹1,06,999. Last year, the company launched the Pixel 7 at a starting price of ₹59,999. The brand does offer some really good upgrades with the Pixel 8 series but they don’t justify the price hike at all.
I am comparing the Google Pixel 8 with the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra that was launched in February. Both are top-notch Android smartphones available in the market. Let’s see how it goes.
