The Pixel 8 was earlier expected to enter production in Q2 this year. The new move comes as the Government of India has been pushing brands to start manufacturing in India. This can also help the brand expand its footprint in the country. It remains to be seen how this will impact users and whether or not the price of the Pixel 8 will go down.
