The Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL got launched a few weeks ago and the pair has now gone up for pre-orders in India. The former is set to hit availability on November 1 and the latter on November 15.
The Pixel 2’s 64GB option is priced at Rs 61000 and 128GB model at Rs 70000. The larger Pixel 2 XL favors a Rs 73000 cost for its 64GB variant and Rs 82000 one for its 128GB version. The two are quite expensive, challenging rivals like the iPhone 8 and Samsung Galaxy Note 8 head-on.
Flipkart’s looking to make things a bit more affordable by bundling in a couple of pre-order offers with the duo. Anyone who buys the handsets with an HDFC Bank Credit Card on an EMI basis will get Rs 8000 as cashback. The e-commerce site’s also added Rs 5000 to the standard exchange value, so customers will get up to Rs 25000 for their older phone.
There’s also a long-standing Axis Bank Buzz Credit Card offer which slashes 5% from the cost of the Google smartphones. The brand’s looking to attract audiophiles by giving away a Sennheiser Headset worth Rs 11990 at just Re 1. No Cost EMIs start from Rs 3389 per month, while other EMIs start from Rs 2085 per month.
