Google offers bundled headphones, no-cost EMI on Pixel 2 pre-orders

These offers are applicable across Flipkart and our participating offline retail partners including Reliance Digital, Croma and others.

Ahead of Pixel 2 sales commencing in November (Pixel 2 sale begins 1st Nov, and Pixel 2 XL on 15th Nov) Google is offering new deals with the following bundled partner offers for pre-orders, starting 26th October 2017:

Users who pre-order the device before 31st Oct 2017 will include a free pair of Sennheiser Bluetooth earphones worth Rs 11,990. The no-cost EMI starting at Rs 3,389 per month will be available on all pre-orders; Rs 8,000 cashback on HDFC bank credit cards (on EMI transactions only).

Airtel subscribers can avail up to 120GB of additional data for 6 months, while the Jio subscribers will get up to 14,999, which includes 1 year of unlimited voice, data (750GB), SMS and Jio applications worth Rs 9,999 at no cost; and Rs 5,000 additional exchange bonus, over and above the value of your old phone when exchanged for a Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL at Reliance Digital stores.

These offers are applicable across Flipkart and our participating offline retail partners including Reliance Digital, Croma and many more across India.

To recall, the Pixel 2—the smaller one of the two new flagships—comes with all the specifications one would expect on a premium device. It runs the purest form of Android 8.0 Oreo and shares the same hardware as its bigger sibling, except for the screen size.

The smaller Pixel 2 flaunts a 5-inch Cinematic full-HD display with a 1080 x 1920 pixel resolution, while the Pixel 2 XL sports a 6-inch P-OLED display with an aspect ratio of 18:9 and 1440 x 2880 pixel resolution. Both smartphones are powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC paired with 4GB of RAM and will come in two storage variants — 64GB and 128GB. The company is also offering unlimited cloud storage for pictures and videos to the users.

The Pixel 2 draws power from a 2700mAh battery while the Pixel 2 XL will be fuelled by a 3520mAh battery. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 2.4G, Bluetooth 5.0 and a USB Type-C port. Both smartphones are sans the 3.5mm audio jack, following the latest trend set by Apple iPhone 7.

Optics wise, both smartphones boast a 12.2MP rear camera with f/1.8 with autofocus and laser + dual pixel phase detection, OIS as well as EIS. The camera is capable of taking videos at 1080p @ 30fps, 60fps, 120fps and 4K @ 30fps. For selfies, the company has crammed in an 8MP front shooter with f/2.4 aperture, fixed focus.

Google is touting the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL's camera as one of the best camera seen on any smartphone. The company claims that the rear camera scored an unprecedented DxO Score of 98. This means the camera will be able to take immaculate pictures regardless of the lighting conditions.
