How to buy the Google Pixel 8 in Australia

If you're looking to buy the Google Pixel 8 or Pixel 8 Pro, you can order it outright or on a plan through the following retailers and providers.

Buying a Google Pixel 8 on a plan

Compare models and pricing: Take a look at the handsets offered by Australian providers before you decide which is best for you. And be sure to find out whether the Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro (or even Pixel 7) is best for you.
Find the best plan: Once you've decided on which Pixel 8 device suits you best, it's just a matter of finding the provider and plan that best suits your coverage, data and budget needs
Put in your order and wait for your device to show up. Put your feet up and wait for your brand-spanking-new Google Pixel smartphone.

Buying a Google Pixel 8 outright

Compare models and pricing: Once again, you will want to start by comparing the price of this year's Google Pixel models, except this knowing that you'll be up for the full cost.
Find participating retailers: If you're looking to purchase the Pixel 8 online, Google's official online store will have deals, but often the best pre-order offers are through other retailers like JB HI-FI and The Good Guys.
Compare SIM plans: If you're purchasing outright, it's still a good idea to compare the latest SIM plans on offer to make sure you're still getting good value on your month-to-month SIM.
Place your order and wait for the doorbell to ring: Buying the handset outright means you don't need to worry about any other plan details. Just pull up a seat and wait for the delivery to arrive.

How much does the Google Pixel 8 cost in Australia?

From $1,199 outright.

Following up the iPhone 15 is no easy task, but year in, year out, the Google Pixel seems to do that just fine.

On Google's end, the formiddable and (more) affordable Pixel 7a only released in June of 2023.

All of this is to say, the Google Pixel 8 has a lot of competition outside and within its own camp. So how much does the search engine giant expect you to pay for its smartphones this year? The Pixel 8 has a more expensive entry point this year at $1,199 for the 128GB model. The Pixel 8 Pro, on the other hand, starts at $1,699 for the 128GB version. Here's a breakdown of Google Pixel 8 pricing:

Pixel 8 (128GB) - $1,199
Pixel 8 (256GB) - $1,299
Pixel 8 Pro (128GB) - $1,699
Pixel 8 Pro (256GB) - $1,799
Pixel 8 Pro (512GB) - $1,999

If you do plan on picking up the Google Pixel 8 or Google Pixel 8 Pro up outright, it's wise to check your mobile plan to see if you're eligible for 5G connectivity. Only select providers offer 5G mobile phone plans in Australia. Here's a round-up of some of the most popular 5G SIM plans in Australia:
