Google Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro With 50MP Camera & Android 12 Launched From $599; Check Prices, Features & Availability Here.
The reason Google did not launch the Pixel 6 Series is due to a variety of factors, including demand and supply issues. As such, the company is not able to make its products available in the Indian market.
Google is looking to bring more Pixel phones to more countries in future. As per market experts, the tech giant does not consider India as a priority market when the Pixel devices are concerned.
As per Navkendar Singh, the Indian market is very different from any other market, with over 90 percent of the smartphone market being below Rs 20,000. Most Indian users consider specifications while purchasing a smartphone and the Pixel line-up is under-specced. The Google Pixel 6 is priced from $599, whereas the Pixel 6 Pro costs $899, which makes it a premium device, especially in India.
Both Pixel 6 devices come powered by Google's Tensor processor and run on Android 12 OS. Both handsets carry a 50MP main camera, up to a 120Hz refresh rate. During the Pixel Fall event, Google announced that will be available in select markets like the US, Canada, Australia, Japan, France, Germany and Taiwan.
