Leaks suggest that the Pixel 8 prices in Europe would be as follows (23% VAT included):

  • Pixel 8 - 128GB: €874.25;

  • Pixel 8 - 256GB: €949.30;

  • Pixel 8 Pro - 128GB: €1,235.72;

  • Pixel 8 Pro - 256GB: €1,309.95;

  • Pixel 8 Pro - 512GB: €1,461.24.

A really fat price hike if it’s true. Would you still go for a Pixel 8/8 Pro at these prices?

I personally see the Pixel 7 line becoming even more attractive as right now in Europe you can find a Pixel 7a for €479 (Amazon promo), a Pixel 7 for €533 (offers on Amazon, otherwise €649 on Google Store) and a Pixel 7 Pro for €789 (another Amazon promo).

    The P5 fingerprint? I love it! I’m actually scared of trying the new ones under the screen. (Everything they put under the screen on the Pixel 5 is a downgrade versus the previous pixels for me).

      For me, it works terribly. Like 1 in 2 times, it just doesn’t work at all. My girlfriend’s Pixel 6 and its under-screen FP is much more reliable.

        Try this tip: grab a scotch tape, cut it until it is more or less like a circle and paste it over the (clean) sensor.

        I did this like 2 years ago and improved the feedback. It’s still going strong, the scotch tape never came out. I think it never fails for me.
