Google’s newest Pixel has the best camera on any smartphone, and all of Google’s latest and greatest features to boot. It’s being released exclusively in Australia in partnership with Telstra — and we finally know how much it’ll cost and when you can get one.
The Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL will be released in Australia on October 31. This release date has been suggested for a while now, but now we’re certain of it — and it means the new Pixel will get into your hands before the iPhone X, if that’s a point of differentiation that interests you.
You’ll pay $1079 for the 5-inch Pixel 2 and $1399 for the 6-inch Pixel 2 XL outright through JB Hi-Fi, but you can also pay a minimum of $77 and $94 a month respectively for each phone on Telstra’s 24-month Go Mobile Swap leasing plans. You can see the different prices for the six Go Mobile Swap variants here, ranging between 2GB and 100GB of data depending on your needs.
If you pre-order, you’ll also get yourself a free Google Home Mini, valued at $79, thrown in. [Telstra]
