Google launches Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro in new ‘Mint’ color – what you need to know

Google has launched its flagship Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro phones in a new mint colorway after releasing the teaser on its social media handles last week. As the name suggests, it’s a shade of green, but it’s quite muted and in line with the pastel aesthetic that the search giant has established over the past few Pixel phone generations.

This new Mint colorway joins the existing lineup, which includes Bay Blue, Obsidian, and Porcelain for the Pixel 8 Pro, and Obsidian, Hazel, and Rose for the three Pixel 8 models.

This new color could be a fun option for those who are looking for a lighter shade in a Pixel phone but don’t necessarily want pink. But it should be noted that this new color only comes with 128GB models of both the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, so if you need the latest model, you’ll have to compromise on storage.

Furthermore, this is just a refresh of the colors that Google has introduced, borrowing a trick from Apple’s playbook – meaning no upgrades and refreshes when it comes to the specifications and features of both devices.

Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro in mint condition: availability and price

It is not clear whether this model will come to India or not. However, a quick search on the Google India Store shows that Google has indeed started marketing it and has listed a Mint color option for the Pixel 8.

Still, we may not see the same for the Pixel 8 Pro. That being said, Google sells its Pixel phones through Flipkart in India, and it remains to be seen when this model gets listed on the website. If it comes to India, it is expected to be priced similar to the other colors of the Pixel 8, which is Rs 75,999.
