Nosotros are but a day away from the proper reveal of the Google Pixel vi, and while a lot around the standard and Pro adjacent-gen Pixel phones has been revealed or teased, pricing is a little more difficult to ascertain. Until now.

According to a brace of claimed leaks the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel vi Pro may cost $599 and $898 respectively, Both these prices are a lot cheaper than we excepted for a pair of phones tipped to exist proper Android flagship handsets.

These surprisingly low prices were spotted by Evan Lei, who plant price tags on empty shelves awaiting the Pixel 6 and Pixel half-dozen Pro during a trip to Target. M. Brandon Lee of This Is Tech Today was afterward able to corroborate the prices using Target's inventory system checker.

At $599, the Pixel half-dozen would undercut the equivalent iPhone 13 and Samsung Galaxy S21 by a hefty $200. The Pixel half-dozen Pro would a good deal at $900 compared to the $1,000 iPhone thirteen Pro or Galaxy S21 Plus likewise. Were expecting the Samsung Galaxy S22 to have similar pricing to its predecessor, so we'd not be surprised if the Pixel half-dozen beats it on price besides.

Based on previous price leaks, I had believed that the Pixel 6 Pro would be the better selection since information technology offered far superior value given the pocket-size $150 cost difference between it and the basic Pixel 6. Fifty-fifty looking at the Pixel 6 solitary, the previously tipped $850 toll tag looked similar far as well much for the hardware the phone is believed to exist offering.

Just at present that the price tag looks set to be a skillful bit cheaper, the Pixel six at present looks a lot more appealing. A pure Android phone with potentially killer camera performance and a custom chip for less than other flagship phones is certainly worthy of attending.

In that location'southward also been a different cost leak, but from the other side of the world. An Australian advertisement promoting the new Google phone, seemingly sent alive by accident before the telephone'south official reveal, shows off the total parcel promised by Google (thanks to _genericusername_ on Reddit's r/GooglePixel capturing information technology), but also how much Australian customers may have to pay for it.

We become no mention of the Pro model, but the ad says the base Pixel six will start at AU$999. That's the same price the Google Pixel v started at in Commonwealth of australia, which went for $699 and £599 in the U.S. and U.K. respectively. Nosotros could catechumen the Australian dollar price but that would requite an inaccurate impression of the cost since Australian prices e'er include the sales taxation.

The Idiot box spot also shows off many of the features we've already seen rumored, leaked and appear many times before. These include the first Google-designed "Tensor" chipset, the phones' larger batteries and faster charging, the Magic Eraser photo editing tool and the new under-display fingerprint sensor.

With this new leak challenge a cost of $600 or $700 and a $200/300 price gap between information technology and its big sibling, the standard Pixel 6 at present not simply looks like a swell smartphone deal in general but also the best Pixel 6 for almost users. It could be a swell selection for users looking for the all-time Android phones on a express budget. But it may also make for a more efficient way of getting Google's signature software and personalization features without spending extra on the larger brandish and battery or added telephoto camera expected to be found on the Pro model.

It'southward only over 24 hours until Google finally gives us the total reveal of the Pixel 6, and we couldn't be more excited. While what feels like all the phone's secrets have been thoroughly spilled and dissected already, the large changes in store for the telephone's hardware could make it Google's best chance ever at grabbing sales from Apple or Samsung.
