Recently, we have had a lot of rumours about the Google Pixel 8. However, one rumour attracted everyone’s attention, its price. With that said, a reliable source might have revealed the phone’s recommended retail price.
Recently, an Indian source tipped that the new Pixel 8 could come with a higher price. Yogesh Brar tweeted that the standard model could come for $649 (~RM3031) or $699 (~RM3264). To compare, the standard unit for Pixel 7 was sold at $599 (~RM2797). That’s a price increase of $50 (~RM234)!
This leak, if confirmed, might be a cause for concern for Pixel fans but it should be expected. After all, Apple and Samsung did the same for their high-end phones too. In addition, Brar also tweeted about the specs, rumoured price and release date for the Pixel:

According to Brar, the Google Pixel 8 might include an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. In theory, it should be better and faster compared to the optical scanner in the Pixel 7’s line. Back in October, there was a rumour about the Pixel 8 featuring this tech. Now, the rumour seems even more likely.
