Indian consumers can now purchase Google’s prestigious devices from the Google Store. This is the first time that Google has officially launched the Google Store in India and it has brought with it the entire range of Pixel products including the new 9 series, Pixel Watch 3, and Pixel Buds Pro 2, all of which are available for direct purchase without any intermediaries being involved.
The promotional activity is accompanied by a lot of benefits for Indian consumers such as cashback offers, store credits, exchange bonuses, no-cost EMI options. All these offers are aimed to make the premium Pixel products more affordable to the consumer and also to provide value-added features which are generally not offered by the resellers.
Pixel 9 Series’ Prices Get Slashed with Cashback and Exchange Bonuses
The launch of the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL has been made more striking with an instant discount and bank offers to support the pricing. Those who make payments through HDFC Bank credit cards can save ₹6,000 to ₹15,000 depending on the model of the phone.
After all the deductions, the effective pricing of the smartphones is as follows:
- Pixel 9: Once the cost of the phone was ₹79,999, but now, with 15% off, it is available for ₹67,999
- Pixel 9 Pro: At this moment you can get the device for ₹89,999 when you get ₹20,000 off with your purchase
- Pixel 9 Pro XL: It is now ₹1,04,999 and it happens to be ₹20,000 below the original price of ₹1,24,999
- Pixel 9 Pro Fold: The new cost is ₹1,52,999, and if you hand over the old phone, then another ₹20,000 can be got
Furthermore, the customers can opt for Google’s trade-in program and enjoy the exchange savings, besides no-cost EMI over 24 months, which will help them in buying a new phone without heavy pockets.
Older Pixel Models Still in Play With Huge Discounts
If you are in the market for last-gen phones, you will find the Pixel 8 Pro of good value with a ₹37,000 discount, as well as ₹7,000 cashback that makes the final price ₹62,999. Furthermore, the pricing of the newly launched Pixel 8a is seeing a drop to ₹34,999 after discounts and cashback, which has put it on par with the most affordable entry points into the Pixel ecosystem.
Pixel Watch 3 and Buds Pro 2 Now Available With Store Credit
Although the Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Buds Pro 2 have not yet been offered discounts or cashback, buyers of these products are allowed to get Google Store Credits:
- Pixel Watch 3: Starting at ₹39,900 with ₹5,000 store credit
- Pixel Buds Pro 2: Priced at ₹22,900 with ₹3,000 store credit
As for the purchase usage of said credits, they can serve as a saving fund for customers in the future of the Google Store, which is considering a win-win situation for both customers and sellers.
Pixel Price Promise and After-Sales Assurance
The Pixel Price Promise is also Google’s new product for its customers — if a customer is able to find a lower price or the seller offers one during the return period, Google will give a partial refund to the buyer. The additional benefits level up the full package with same-day service possible at select locations and 24/7 support from trained experts.
Google’s launch of the products seemed to sign how the company wants to sell to its Indian market even better. Direct sales are now accompanied by easy-to-understand payment terms and down-to-the-last customer relationship, which depicts a much stronger commitment to the Indian market.
