Google has refreshed the Pixel 8 lineup with a new colour.
Google’s new Mint colour for the Pixel 8 series is quite muted and in line with the pastel aesthetic that the search giant has established over the course of the last few generations.
Google has launched its flagship Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro phones in a new Mint colourway after teasing the same last week across its social media handles. As the name suggests, this is a shade of green, but it is quite muted and in line with the pastel aesthetic that the search giant has established over the course of the last few Pixel phone generations.
This new Mint colourway joins the existing lineup, which includes Bay Blue, Obsidian, and Porcelain for the Pixel 8 Pro, and Obsidian, Hazel, and Rose for the three Pixel 8 models.
This new colour can be a fun choice for someone who is looking for a lighter shade in a Pixel phone but doesn’t necessarily want the Rose colour. But it must be noted that this new colour only comes with the 128GB models of both the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, so if you need the latest model, you will have to compromise on the storage.
In addition, this is only a fresh colour that Google has introduced, borrowing a trick out of Apple’s playbook–meaning there are no upgrades and refreshes when it comes to the specifications and the features of both the devices.
Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro In Mint: Availability And Price
It isn’t clear if this model would make it to India. However, a quick search on the Google India store reveals that Google has indeed started marketing the same and has listed the Mint color option for the Pixel 8.
Nevertheless, we can’t see the same for the Pixel 8 Pro. That being said, Google sells its Pixel phones through Flipkart in India, and it remains to be seen when this model is listed on the website. If it makes it to India, the price of the same is expected to be the same as the other colours of the Pixel 8, which is Rs 75,999.
