Release Date & Price

Of course the Nexus 6P is available now on the Google Store, and has been for nearly a year. It's a great phone and still one of the best around. But now it's Pixel time.

On October 4th Google annouced the new Pixel, Pixel XL, Google DayDream, Chromecast Ultra, Google WiFi, and Google Home. All made by Google.

When will the new Pixel and Pixel XL be released, and how much will they cost? We have some information.

Last year the Nexus 6P was announced on September 29th, went up for pre-order two weeks later, and started shipping around October 23rd.

The Pixel and Pixel XL are available for pre-order today from Google and Verizon for $649 and $769. Shipping will begin in 2-3 weeks, around October 21-24th. 

Gone are the days of $399 Nexus smartphones.

The Pixel is exclusive to Verizon in the United States, but a "worldwide capable" unlocked model is on the Google Play Store for all other carriers, as well as other regions and users around the globe. They will also be available at Best Buy.

These are expensive phones, but are the first true "Google Phone" that compete with Samsung or Apple. It comes at a premium price, but has some premium features and experiences to match it. Will you be buying one?

      Yeah and a new Snapdragon 821 processor no other phone has yet.. Not to mention a better camera, more storage, Google Assistant, Android 7.1 Nougat and more. But yeah, it’s not a huge upgrade

    Absolutely no good comparison to the Nexus 6P… is the upgrade worth it? I’m doubting it is but you did nothing to reinforce my thoughts or change my mind. Clickbait!
