Google’s Pixel 6 Pro faces huge delivery delays due to stock shortages caused by a lack of computer chips.
Google’s new Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro handsets are the best smartphones the company has released to date, and with an attractive price point to boot, they’re a popular buy right now. It looks like they may be too popular though, as the Pixel 6 Pro now comes with a huge delivery delay thanks to “high demand”. This has meant some people who preordered their Pixel 6 Pro will have to wait for their order to be fulfilled and new buyers will be put on a waiting list when looking to buy a Pixel 6 Pro from the official Google store – with delays extending into early next year. If you find yourself in this situation, Google recommends you first check out authorized third-party vendors – a recommendation we echo. In the UK we found stock at Currys and Carphone Warehouse – but were shown a low stock warning. The same was true at sites like Best Buy in the US, however the situation does look a little more dire – we found only a couple of packages were still available amongst a sea of ‘unavailable’ notices. So far the base Pixel 6 model hasn’t been hit with the same widespread delays, though certain color variants have been briefly out of stock in different regions – one of our writers was unable to pre-order the green Pixel 6 they so desperately wanted, but it is now showing as in stock again.
