Since Flipkart’s Big Billion Days Sale is around the corner which may begin on September 27, Google’s Pixel 8 comes with exciting offers on the Flipkart which can be purchased at Rs 31,999. It is less than half its original price that the Pixel 8 was launched at a starting price of Rs 75,999 last year.
The Pixel 8 remains a great choice for fans of compact phones and users who prioritise the latest Android and AI features. It runs on Android 14 and will be one of the first phones to receive the Android 15 update next month. Additionally, it boasts a unique advantage with its promise of eight years of major software updates making it one of the most affordable long-term Android options available during this sale.
In terms of performance, the Pixel 8 holds up well against newer models like the Pixel 9. Its Tensor G3 chip is slightly behind the Tensor G4 on the Pixel 9 but the difference isn’t too drastic. However, it does fall short when compared to newer chips like the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 or Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 which power similarly priced Android phones and offer superior raw performance.

The Pixel 8 also excels with its 6.2-inch 120Hz OLED display making it one of the more compact phones in its category when compared to the iPhone 16. Pixel 8 serves as a great platform to explore these advancements whether it’s Gemini or other generative AI features built into Android.
However, some users have reported sub-par battery life and occasional connectivity issues. Pixel 8 remains a solid choice if you can overlook these drawbacks stated by some of its users. Alternatively, the e-commerce platform also considers the nearly two-year-old Pixel 7a which is also available for as low as Rs 25,999 offering a similar design and almost the same experience.
