Google has already confirmed that the Pixel 4 range will be launched Oct. 15 in a teaser, but that has made leakers all the more active. The leaks have been popping non-stop that some have been actually confirmed by the search giant. Now, there's a new one, and it shows the rumored price of the upcoming flagship. Take note that Google didn't confirm any of these, though.
Posted on the Irish electronics online retailer Elara Online are the prices of the entire Pixel 4 range, as found by 9to5Google. The listing confirms three colors: Oh So Orange, Clearly White, and Just Black.
According to the Irish shop, the 64GB Pixel 4 starts at €820 or €825 after some sort of €103 rebate, putting the flagship €24 less than the launch price of Pixel 3. Now comparing the price to the cheapest iPhone 11 in Europe, it means the Pixel 4 will be €16 more than Apple's flagship, but around €300 cheaper than the basic iPhone 11 Pro.
But Elara Online notes that the listed prices are merely a "discount" offer. Once the offer expires, the Pixel 4 will be sold at around €930. This price makes it more expensive than the 64GB Pixel 3.
Many are in doubt of the leak, of course. For one, there has been no confirmation from Google so far, and there are no specifications present other than the RAM. Furthermore, the site lists estimated delivery time as of Oct. 4, which makes us doubt its credibility since Oct. 15 is the official announcement date. It almost seems like Google has already given up on trying to put a stop to the rampant leaks of its phones.
As for the design of the phone, we've already seen it from front to back. A lot of people are undecided on its aesthetics, but it's hard not to notice the thick bezel on top that makes the rest of the phone look unbalanced. We're guessing Google has a reason for this design, and that might be because of the sensors.
Last year, the Pixel 3 launch price in the United States was $800. Google was left disappointed when sales didn't match was expected, so retailers had no choice but slash off their prices a few months after launch, especially when the 3a was released and became the favorite of more people.
If the leak turns out to be true, the US could a drop of $25, hopefully.
