In August this year, Google announced its plan to launch its latest portfolio of devices in India. The company has also been focused on establishing a strong foundation for Pixel’s after-sales services and retail presence across the country.

Earlier this year, Google began assembling its Pixel 8 series in India, with the locally manufactured phones available through its distribution channels.

This move supports India’s “Make in India” initiative, bringing benefits like lower costs, greater accessibility, and a boost to the local manufacturing sector.

The Indian smartphone market is highly competitive, featuring strong players like Samsung, Xiaomi, and OnePlus, and Google will need to provide compelling features and pricing to capture a significant market share.
