Following the release of the new series, the price of the Pixel 8 smartphone has significantly dropped on Flipkart.
On Flipkart, the Pixel 8 smartphone is available at a starting price of Rs 58,999. For those who are unaware, the Pixel 8 device was introduced by Google last year.

The Google Pixel 8 sports a 6.2-inch OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, 2000 nits of peak brightness, and HDR support. This phone is powered by the Tensor G3 processor.
For photography, the Pixel 8 houses a dual rear camera setup with a 50MP wide angle lens paired with a 12MP wide angle shooter. On the front, there is a 10.5MP selfie shooter. Lastly, it packs a 4,575mAh battery with support for 27W fast charging.
When we tested the Pixel 8 last year, the smartphone lost about 4 percent of battery in 15 minutes while playing Call of Duty Mobile on the highest graphics, and about 10 percent of battery lost in a 30-minute gaming session. This is decent for a smartphone with a 4,575mAh battery.
