Welcome to theustales.com.
Google just launched its official online Google Store in India on May 29, 2025. Now, you can buy Pixel phones, watches, earbuds, and more directly from Google. No more waiting for restocks on Flipkart or hunting through other stores. This is Google’s first online store outside the US, and it’s packed with goodies for Indian shoppers. Let’s dive into what makes this launch exciting and why it’s a game-changer for Pixel fans.
Why the Google Store Matters
For years, Google sold its Pixel devices in India through partners like Flipkart, Croma, and Reliance Digital. Now, with the Google Store, you can skip the middleman. The store offers a smooth, one-stop shop to explore, compare, and buy Pixel products. Plus, it’s designed with Indian shoppers in mind. For example, it supports UPI payments, which is a big deal since so many of us use UPI daily.
Mitul Shah, Google India’s managing director for devices, shared that this isn’t just a website—it’s a full-on effort to make shopping easier. Google poured tons of engineering work into building this store. It’s not just about selling phones; it’s about making sure you get the best experience, from buying to after-sales support.

Trade-In Your Old Phone for Big Savings
Got an old phone? Google’s exchange program is where it’s at. You can exchange your Pixel 8 for a whopping Rs 35,000 off the Pixel 9. Given that the Pixel 8 is still available on Flipkart for Rs 44,999, that is enormous. You can save Rs 35,000 on a Pixel 9 even with an iPhone 15.
Here’s what else you can save:
Trade a Pixel 8a for Rs 28,000 off the upcoming Pixel 9a.
Swap a Pixel 7 for Rs 31,550 off a Pixel 9.
Exchange a Pixel 7a for Rs 20,000 off the Pixel 9a.
Got a Pixel 6a? You’ll get Rs 15,000 off a Pixel 9a.
Older Pixel 6? It’s worth Rs 10,000 off a Pixel 9.
These deals make upgrading super affordable. Google’s even partnered with Cashify to make the exchange process smooth. Just check if your phone’s in good condition, and you’re set.
Pixel Price Promise Keeps It Fair
Worried about missing a better deal? With the Pixel Price Promise, Google has you covered. Google will reimburse the difference if, during the return period, you discover a lower price at the Google Store or specific partners like Flipkart. This means you’re always getting a fair price, no stress.
Super-Fast Delivery and Top-Notch Support
Google teamed up with Blue Dart to deliver to 12,600 PIN codes across India. Most orders arrive in 24 to 48 hours—pretty speedy! After you buy, Google’s support is there for you. You get 24/7 help from Pixel-trained experts, full warranty coverage, and access to 20 service centers, including three exclusive Google ones. Seven out of ten phones are fixed the same day, so you’re back up and running fast.
Need a repair? You can start the process right on the Google Store website and schedule free doorstep pick-up and delivery. Making things simple for you is the main goal.
Google’s Big Plans for India
India’s smartphone market is booming with 712 million users, and Google wants a bigger slice. Right now, Pixel holds about 2% of the premium phone market (phones over $520), while Apple dominates with 55%, according to Counterpoint Research. But Google’s stepping up. They’re even making Pixel phones in India to keep prices competitive and boost availability.
Google’s not stopping at the online store. They’re planning to open physical Google Stores in India soon, their first outside the US. This follows Apple’s lead, who opened stores in Mumbai and Delhi in 2023. With Pixel devices currently available in more than 2,000 stores, including Croma, Reliance, Vijay Sales, and Bajaj Electronics, Google is also growing its offline presence. Over 250 of these stores let you try out Pixel’s cool AI features, like those powered by Gemini, hands-on.
Why Pixel Stands Out
Pixel devices aren’t just phones—they’re smart, sleek, and packed with AI magic. From the Pixel 9’s sharp camera to the Pixel Watch 3’s fitness tracking, these gadgets are built to make life easier. Google’s focus on AI, like Gemini, means your device feels like a personal assistant, tailored just for you.
A New Way to Shop Pixel
The Google Store launch is a big deal for India. It’s not just about buying a phone—it’s about a better, direct way to shop. With awesome deals, easy payments, fast delivery, and solid support, Google’s making it super simple to join the Pixel family. Plus, with plans for physical stores and more hands-on experiences, Google’s all-in on India.
