Earlier today, prices of Google’s upcoming Pixel 8 series in Europe leaked, revealing what can only be described as a gargantuanly massive price increase. If you haven’t read the news yet, hold your breath, because this is going to be a tough pill to swallow.

	128GB	256GB	512GB
Pixel 7	€649	€749
Pixel 8	€874.25 (+34.7%)	€949.30 (+26.7%)
Pixel 7 Pro	€899	€999	€1099
Pixel 8 Pro	€1235 (+37.4%)	€1309 (+31.3%)	€1461 (+32.9%)

If this leak is accurate, we’re looking at an increase of more than 30% on average in the price of a Pixel 8 or Pixel 8 Pro, and European buyers would have to fork an extra €200-300 to buy one of Google’s upcoming flagships. Yikes. We don’t know much about US prices, but previous rumors had suggested a more sensible $50-100 increase. Smaller yikes.
