Google’s official online store is finally in India, and it is about time. Originally, you no longer need to wait for Flipkart restock or hunting through third-party vendors, as you can now buy pixel phones, pixel buds and pixel watches directly from the source-Google. This is a clean, no-by experience, as the company intended. And now with India Store, live, much to excite much – especially crazy exchange deals. Let’s reach the direct point.

The biggest highlight of the launch is the liberal exchange offers on the old devices, especially on the pixel phone. If you are thinking about upgrading to the latest Pixel 9, now the right time can be. The new Pixel 9 at Google Store is priced at Rs 74,999. Meanwhile, Pixel 8 – which is still a solid phone – is currently selling Flipkart for Rs 44,999. But if you already own a Pixel 8 and want to switch to the new model, then you will be happy to know that Google is offering a flat 35,000 rupees while exchanging its Pixel 8, provided it is in good condition. About half the price of the new phone immediately stopped. And also keep in mind-this is Rs 35,000 for a phone that is 1.5 years old and is being sold for Rs 9,999 in the brand-new position. The Pixel 8A exchange deal is very solid.

By the way, this offer is not limited to pixel phones only. Even an iPhone 15, when traded, you can get the same discount of Rs 35,000 on Pixel 9. Apparently, Google wants more and more people to make switch.

Now, if you are not after flagship and are using a pixel 8A, which is selling retail on Flipkart at about Rs 37,999, you can still take advantage. When you trade in your 8A, Google will knock Rs 28,000 with the price of upcoming Pixel 9A. It is a very sweet deal that considers 8A, just one generation is old. The exchange program also works good for phones that are two years old. For example, exchange of a pixel 7A for 9A can get you Rs 20,000. Going from Pixel 7 to Pixel 9? It brings a discount of Rs 31,550 – which was actually paid by some people for Pixel 7, when its price fell to about Rs 37,000 in the last months of its cycle.

However, not all exchange values ​​are equally attractive. Trading in a Pixel 6 for Pixel 9 will give you a discount of only Rs 10,000. This is not too much when it was initially launched, given the price paid for it. But there is a catch – Pixel 6 was never officially launched in India. In fact, for most Indian buyers, the Pixel phone began to talk only after the Pixel 6A got into the picture. This was the correct re -entry of Google in the Indian smartphone market.

Therefore, it is understandable that Google considers 6A to be more than 6 when it comes to exchange offers. If you own a Pixel 6A and want a new Pixel 9A, you are still looking at a discount of Rs 15,000. Pixel 6 is more than what it gets, only because 6A was officially available in India and possibly better resale capacity.

In short, if you are the owner of a pixel 6A, pixel 7 series, or Pixel 8 series phones and the new Pixel 9 line-up is seen, now is a great time to upgrade. The exchange values ​​are among the best seen from Google so far.

The new store also brings some additional benefits for buyers in India. The place has a new pixel price promise, aimed at ensuring value transparency. If you get a better price from an authorized partner for the same product on Google Store or during your return window, Google will return you the difference.

And to make the experience even better, Google is making better improvement after sales. Products purchased from the official store will come with full warranty coverage, 24/7 customer service from trained experts, and even select Indian cities with one day servicing.
