Google pixel gets big discount ahead of pixel 2, xl 2 release date

Google Pixel has received a big price cut ahead of the release date for Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2, which is expected to take place at some point in October. But ahead of the big launch of the

upcoming pure Android phone, Google have slashed the prices of the original Pixel devices. On the official Google store, both the 32GB and 128GB version of the Google Pixel cost less. For US

customers, these devices are both $125 less - with the Pixel 32GB costing $524 and the 128GB model priced at $624. While the Google Pixel XL has been discounted by an incredible $200. The

32GB model costs $569 while the 128GB version costs $669. Google are also adding Daydream View, which usually costs $79, for FREE with each purchase - but only while stock lasts. However, in

the UK store the prices for the Google Pixel and Pixel XL have remained the same as at launch. Express.co.uk have contacted Google to see if UK customers will also be getting a price cut in

the near future. The news comes as Google gears up for the launch of the Pixel 2 and Pixel XL, which are expected to have a release date in October. The original Pixel devices were unveiled

in October and launched that month, and it’s expected that history will repeat itself this year. New leaked pictures of the Pixel 2 have given us the best view yet of the upcoming Android

device. The images show the front-facing speaks and front-facing camera of the Pixel 2. The backside of the image shows the top-third glass on the back of the screen has been changed to

top-fifth glass. It no longer covers the fingerprint scanner either. GOOGLE PIXEL HAS A FEW EXCLUSIVE SURPRISES FOR USERS The images also shows a number of stickers with barcodes, that have

been blurred out to protect the identity of the source of the pictures. The person who provided the images to GSMArena also said the Pixel 2 does not have a headphone jack. This was also

reported by renowned tipster Evan Blass. If Google do drop the headphone jack for the Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2, it would mark a surprise design U-turn for the Mountain View firm. Apple last

year sparked outrage amongst a section of fans by dropping the 3.5mm headphone jack in favour of wireless technology for the iPhone 7. The design move gave Apple more space inside the iPhone

7 and iPhone 7’s Taptic Engine. The Cupertino firm did include a dongle with the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7S that plugged into the lightning port and let users still use 3.5mm headphones. The

iPhone 8 is also expected to keep this design feature, however it did spark anger amongst some Apple fans who favour the ageing port. Google, with their original Pixel, seemed to try to

capitalise on this anger by highlighting how their phone kept the 3.5mm headphone jack. INTRODUCING PIXEL, THE FIRST SMARTPHONE MADE BY GOOGLE.MP4 The launch trailer for the Pixel

highlighted how “new” the phone was and all the “new” features it brought with it. It mentioned how the Pixel “doesn’t have a version number - new” and how it was “built from scratch for VR

- new”. And - in what could been seen as a cheeky dig at Apple - the trailer highlighted the “3.5mm headphone jack - satisfyingly not new”. Sources have told 9To5Google that the Pixel 2

price is expected to rise by at least $50, which would translate in the UK to around a £50 increase. And it’s been rumoured that the Pixel 2 could be the first to feature the brand new

Snapdragon 836 processor from Qualcomm.
