The Google Pixel 6 Pro may get a premium pricetag as a flagship device to rival the iPhone 13 and Samsung Galaxy S21.
A day after Google announced its new flagship phones, the Google Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro, we’ve heard a bit more about the latter – and it looks like it may have a premium pricetag closer to the Samsung Galaxy S21 and what we expect for the iPhone 13. As DroidLife noticed, Google hardware executive Rick Osterloh has laid out the company’s cost expectations for the Pixel 6 Pro. Sadly, he didn’t give an exact price for the phone, but did tell Der Spiegel that (translated from German) the Pixel 6 Pro “will be expensive” as it’s designed for users who want the latest technology. Even the standard Pixel 6 “belongs in the upper segment” and can keep up with competitors, and Osterloh considers that phone a “mainstream premium product.” While the definitions of ‘flagship phone’ can be fuzzy, Osterloh admitted in the interview that the last two years of Pixel phones weren’t competing in the flagship market segment.
