- Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro now available in Singapore
The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro have been in high demand ever since Google launched them in October last year. In fact, the pre-order rush after their announcement was enough to take down Google's online store for a few hours, with most SKUs selling out for over a month in that time. What's impressive is that the new phones managed to set a quarterly sales record for the company despite being available in only nine countries and supply constraints. With supply now seemingly becoming a little more reliable, Google has launched the Pixel 6 series in Italy and Spain through its online store.
As Google Italy notes in its announcement, the new phones will be available in the two countries in limited quantities. Due to the strong demand, the company expects the stock to sell out soon, with additional units only expected to arrive in May. So if you live in Italy or Spain and have been looking to buy the new Pixel phones for a while now, you should pull the trigger on them as soon as possible — none of the units are currently listed as out of stock.
Disappointingly, Google is only selling limited SKUs of the phones — they are only available with 128GB storage in Carbon/Just Black color, with no other color or storage combination to be seen. The smaller Pixel is priced at €649, while the Pro is available for €899. There's no pre-order or launch day offers like those the company was handing out when it initially released the Pixel 6 series last year in other markets.
The Pixel 6 series was a buggy mess when it first launched with fingerprint sensor issues, poor signal strength, and ghost dialing bugs. However, Google has addressed most issues with multiple software updates, with the January patch finally fixing a lot of lingering issues for good. The February OTA will be a do-or-die moment for the phones, though. Despite these problems, the new Pixels offer excellent value for money and pack stellar cameras, which is why the Pixel 6 was our favorite phone of 2021.

Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro now available in Singapore
After quietly launching the Pixel 6 series in Italy and Spain earlier this month, Google has now released the phones in Singapore. They will be sold exclusively through the company's online store in the country, with prices starting from S$G999 for the Pixel 6 and S$1,299 for the Pixel 6 Pro. Just like in Italy and Spain, Google is offering the phones with 128GB storage only — the 256GB SKU is nowhere to be seen. As for colors, the Pixel 6 is available in Stormy Black and Sorta Seaform colors, while the Pro model is offered in Stormy Black and Cloudy White colors.
Stock will likely be limited, so if you have been eyeing the latest Pixel phones for a while, now is the time to buy them. This is also the first time since the Pixel 4a's launch in 2020 that Google has released new Pixel phones in Singapore.
Additionally, the company is selling official accessories like the Pixel 6 case for S$49, the 2nd gen Pixel Stand for S$119, and the 30W USB-C power adapter for S$45. With the addition of Singapore, the Pixel 6 series is now available in 12 countries — up from the 9 countries it was initially available in. Google could probably further expand the availability of the phones to more countries as it catches up with demand and the semiconductor crunch eases.
