Google Pixel 8 Pro may soon get a new mint-color variant: What we know

It’s been over three months since Google released the Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel 8. In that time, Google has updated the devices with the latest Gemini Nano-powered AI features and new features like the NightSight feature. These constant updates have kept the Pixel 8 series fresh and ensured that new buyers are satisfied with their purchases.

However, with the recent influx of new launches in China including the OnePlus 12, iQoo 12 and the recently released Samsung Galaxy S24 series, the Pixel 8 series has disappeared from the radar.

Google may soon change this with a new refresh. However, instead of a software refresh, Google may rely on a hardware refresh to refresh the lineup this time, in the form of a new color option – borrowing a strategy from Apple’s playbook. Yes, Google has hinted that it is going to offer the Pixel 8 Pro in a “refreshing” Mint color option, joining the existing Bay Blue, Obsidian and Porcelain models.

Google has released a teaser for the new mint color Pixel 8 Pro, and it is set to be revealed on January 25. It’s unclear whether this will be a special edition or whether it will be widely available, but chances are it will be identical to the existing Pixel 8 Pro in all other respects.

Google Pixel 8 Pro was launched in October last year with significant hardware upgrades over its predecessor. It is powered by the Google Tensor G3 chipset, coupled with 12GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage. The Pixel 8 Pro sports a triple-lens rear camera system, consisting of a 50MP main sensor, a 48MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 48MP telephoto sensor. The device comes pre-installed with Android 14 and is powered by a massive 5,050mAh battery.

The price of Pixel 8 Pro in India is ₹1,06,999 for the 128GB model, while the 256GB variant is priced at ₹1,13,999. However, the 256GB model is only available in the Obsidian colorway.
