The Google Store has officially launched in India, allowing consumers to buy Google’s products directly, including smartphones, TWS earbuds, and smartwatches. This new platform offers a streamlined purchasing option compared to going through authorized retailers or resellers. According to Google, purchasing items like the Pixel Watch or Pixel Watch 3 through its official store provides advantages such as authentic products, flexible payment methods, and exclusive promotions like Store Credit and discounts, with many of these deals available for a limited time.
Google Store Now Live in India
In a recent blog post, Google announced that shoppers using the official Google Store in India can benefit from discounts, Google Store Credit, or instant cashback. Additionally, customers have the opportunity to trade in their old devices for a new Pixel, receiving an enhanced exchange bonus. For instance, buyers can currently enjoy cashback offers of Rs. 6,000 on the Pixel 9, Rs. 12,000 on the Pixel 9 Pro, and Rs. 15,000 on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Discounts on select models can reach up to Rs. 15,000, effectively reducing the price of the Pixel 9 to Rs. 67,999 after applying these offers.
Moreover, the previous year’s Pixel 8 Pro boasts a remarkable Rs. 37,000 discount, alongside a cashback of Rs. 7,000, lowering its net effective price to Rs. 62,999. Noteworthy is that these instant cashback offers are valid only on purchases made using HDFC Bank Credit Cards. In addition to these incentives, customers can opt for no-cost EMI plans, allowing them to spread the payments for their Pixel devices over time.
