Google's all new shiny Pixel smartphones are ready for pre-order in India. Both the Pixel and Pixel XL are now listed on Flipkart.

Just to give you a brief, the Google Pixel comes with a 5-inch 1080p AMOLED display with a 2770 mAh battery while the Pixel comes with a larger 5.5-inch Quad-HD AMOLED display with a 3450 mAh battery. Both run on the Snapdragon 821 quad-core processor with 4GB RAM and a choice of 32GB or 128GB storage.

Google is also pretty confident on its camera, calling it one of the best smartphone cameras out there. Its a 12.3MP rear camera on the Pixel smartphones with f/2.0 aperture, PDAF and larger pixel size for better low light photos. The company also talked about how they have improved the camera software which now enabled HDR+ mode by default so that images have better dynamic range. You don't have Optical Image Stabilization though, but as they explained low-light imaging won't be affected. But we would reserve judgement on that. EIS is present for videos.

Google Pixel and Pixel XL India Pricing:

Pixel 32GB - Rs. 57,000
Pixel 128GB - Rs. 66,000
Pixel XL 32GB - Rs. 67,000
Pixel XL 128GB - Rs. 76,000

Now coming to offers, Flipkart is giving the first 1000 people who order the Pixel or Pixel XL 10% of the cost of the phone worth of E Gift Vouchers. There's No Cost EMI and up to Rs. 27000 off in exchange for your older smartphone. The orders will start shipping October 25th.

If you don't want to buy the Pixel smartphones online, they would be coming to your nearest Vijay Sales, Sangeetha Mobiles, Reliance Digital, Croma and some other outlets soon.

As previously announced, HTC will take care of Pixel after sale service in India which isn't that great a news given the company doesn't have the best track record of service in India.
