Google Pixel 7 Pro Price Drop: Google announced the Pixel 8 series in October last year and the Pixel 7 series in October 2022. Months after launch, the Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 8 are now available at similar price points on Flipkart. This can confuse flagship buyers planning to buy a Pixel smartphone in the sub-Rs 65,000 price bracket.
If you plan to buy a Pixel device, here are the offers available on both handsets and which one to pick based on your preferences.

Pixel 7 Pro vs Pixel 8: Which One To Pick?
Considering the available offers and pricing, the Google Pixel 8 appears to be a better pick after availing all offers. The smartphone offers an upgraded processor (Tensor G3), more software updates (for seven years) and AI features than the Pixel 7 Pro. This latest option at a lower price can be a better pick than the Pixel 7 Pro for most people.
But, the old 'Pro' could still be a worthy choice for a niche audience. Pixel fans who crave a 6.7-inch QHD+ curved screen, 48MP telephoto rear sensor, bigger 5,000mAh battery and more RAM (12GB) over raw performance numbers and prolonged software support may consider the Pixel 7 Pro. If you are considering a non-Google phone, you can also check out the OnePlus 12, iPhone 15 and more among newer alternatives.
