Google Pixel 9 Series India Pricing Leaked

Google Pixel 9 lineup's pricing details for the Indian market surfaced online on Tuesday, August 13, hours ahead of the official announcement. These prices figures are yet to be confirmed by Google. Famed leakster Abhishek Yadav took to social media platform X to share what he claims are the official prices for Google's upcoming Pixel 9 lineup in India. According to Yadav's source, the base Pixel 9 model is expected to retail at Rs 79,999, while the Pixel 9 Pro may be priced at Rs 1,09,999.

All 4 Pixel 9 Series Phones Coming To India

In a surprising move, Google appears to be introducing two additional models to the Indian market. The Pixel 9 Pro XL, a first for the flagship series, is reportedly priced at Rs 1,24,999. This variant is likely aimed at users seeking the ultimate Pixel experience. Perhaps most liekly, Yadav suggests that Google's foldable offering, the Pixel Fold, will make its Indian debut at Rs 1,72,999, which is higher than the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 (read our review here).

While foldable devices have been available globally, this marks Google's first entry into the flexible phone market in India. It is important to note that these prices remain unconfirmed by Google at this time. The official launch event will provide clarity on the final pricing structure and which models will be available to Indian consumers.

If accurate, these figures position the Pixel 9 series firmly in the premium smartphone segment, potentially challenging established players in the high-end market. Pixel enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting official confirmation and further details about the specifications and features and official reveal of the Pixel 9 lineup.

Meanwhile, Google's Indian online store was updated last week to showcase only two models: the Google Pixel 9 Pro and Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Notably, the introduction of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold marks a significant milestone for the Indian market, as it will be the first foldable device from Google to be officially released in the country. This launch strategy suggests Google's intent to expand its presence in the premium smartphone segment in India, offering consumers access to its latest technology, increasing competition for Samsung Galaxy Z Fold, OnePlus Open and others.
