Although Google is positioning the upcoming Pixel 6a better than the Pixel 5a, it is not launching a major sales offensive. It is therefore clear that Google can hardly appear internationally in the top 5 smartphone manufacturers. The bottom line is that the Google Pixel 6a will only be available in 13 countries. German neighbors have to get the device here from us or from other neighbors.
Google excludes eight neighboring countries
There is the new Google Pixel 6a here with us and in France. But not in Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Poland or the Czech Republic. France remains the only directly neighboring country where the new Google Pixel 6a is also available. As is well known, the Google Pixel 6a costs 549 euros when it goes on sale in the summer.
Android Central has published the following overview:
- United States
- Canada
- Germany
- United Kingdom
- Ireland
- France
- Italy
- Spain
- Japan
- Australia
- Singapore
- Taiwan
- India (later in 2022)
Google is clearly signaling that it will continue to primarily serve the countries in which Google and Google Pixel are known. I think it’s a pity that you don’t serve other new markets and dare to do something there.
