Google in a statement hinting the upcoming launch said, "Big fall launches are stressful, but Pixel helps these Best Phones Forever stay cool as cucumbers. The wait is almost over. Rest up for Made By Google on October 4th." Is Pixel 8 series coming to India? In a surprise move, Google launched the Pixel 7 series in India after a long hiatus in which the country missed out on the Pixel 4, Pixel 5, and Pixel 6 series. The Pixel 8 series is expected to launch in India on later dates, but there is no official announcement from the company to confirm it.
