Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are now available in a fresh Mint color،
Google has been hinting at a new color addition to its latest Pixel 8 series for a while now. Now officially confirmed, Mint is up for grabs for the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.
Mint Pixel 8 Pro and mint Pixel 8 come with all the Google AI features found in the rest of the lineup, and they're exclusive to the Google Store and Google Fi Wireless in the United States. Carriers and retailers will not carry them. US customers will be able to get their hands on the new color starting January 25.
However, be aware that the Mint color is limited to the base 128GB storage option. Those who need more storage will have to stick with the stock colors. For fans of the usual Pixel 8, this is the first opportunity to get a color beyond the standard black, hazel, and rose gold choices available since the phone launched in October. The Pro model at least offers the most fun Bay Blue color right off the bat.
Jenny Davis, CMF (color, material and finish) design lead at Google, describes the mint green variant of the latest Pixel phone as follows:
A breath of fresh air and a cool spring breeze. It's serene, but not boring. It’s a bright color that really invites the mind into a state of calm – an energetic calm.
Additionally, Google is launching a new game called Kick, which “lets you live out your football fantasies.“While anyone can play for fun, there are substantial prizes at stake for recent transfers to TeamPixel, at least in the UK. With every order you will receive a unique QR code inviting you to play Kick with Pixel, giving you the chance to win football tickets, jerseys and much more.
