Google Pixel XL 128GB variant gets 45 percent discount on Amazon: Best time to buy?

The original Google Pixel XL launched over a year ago and took the flagship market by a surprise. Today the Pixel XL with 128GB storage in the Quite Black variant has just got a massive 45 percent discount on Amazon India. The Google Pixel XL is currently priced at Rs 41,949 on Amazon India down from its original launch price of Rs 76,000. According to Amazon India, they are offering a discount of Rs 34,051 discount on the Pixel XL 128GB Quite Black variant. This makes it almost 45 percent off the original MRP. However, considering the Pixel 2 XL is not that more expensive than the Pixel XL right now, it makes more sense to get the latest flagship.

If one compares the deals which you can get for the Pixel 2 XL during various sales on Flipkart or Amazon, a year old Pixel XL doesn't make that much of a sense. For example, the retail price of Pixel 2 XL right now on Flipkart, one of the official retailers of the device is Rs 67,999. This is also down from the Rs 73,000 launch price and you can avail a discount of Rs 18,000 depending on what device you exchange. This makes waiting for a sale to purchase the Pixel 2 XL a more acceptable option. The sale on the Flipkart which starts tomorrow is offering huge discounts on Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL makes it more sensible to get the latest from Google.

Offers on the new Pixel XL

The smaller Google Pixel 2 with 64GB storage is available for Rs 49,999 down from the original price of Rs 61,000, which makes it an 18 percent discount. The newer Pixel 2 also comes with extra Rs 18,000 off on exchange. Pixel 2 with 128GB storage is priced at Rs 58,999 on Flipkart down from the original price of Rs 70,000. Also as we said, the Flipkart sale starting tomorrow will be offering huge discounts on Pixel 2 series. So it is best to wait before paying Rs 41,000 plus for a year old phone if one is really keen on getting the Google Pixel series.

If one does a quick comparison between the Google Pixel 2 series vs the original Pixel series, it is better to get the newer series. The new phones have the best camera ever on a smartphone and support portrait mode, AR stickers and much more. The Pixel 2 series also comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor and overall faster performance than the previous generation. The squeeze feature adds for a quite a good gimmick and the stereo speakers put the cherry on the cake.
