The Google Pixel 6 series which is the company’s most popular smartphone to date has not been made available in India this time around. However, a listing for the Pixel 6 Pro has appeared on Amazon India.
The device is listed at a jaw-dropping price of Rs. 117,150 ($1,569) which is quite a hike from its U.S. listings of $899 even after import duties and taxes. The product is marked as Amazon fulfilled and comes with a 7-day return and Amazon warranty policy. However, considering that Google never released the device in India. It is not eligible for any sort of warranty within the nation.
The two red flags noticed for this listing are the reviews and ratings of its seller Worldwide_Store which has been accused of selling imported products as well as having some allegations of supplying fake products. The supplier has had a 73% negative rating in the past 90 days. Secondly, the Amazon listing mentions that the Pixel 6 Pro has T-Mobile as its wireless carrier which indicates that the phone is most likely carrier-locked and belongs to one of the regions where T-Mobile operates like the USA or Poland.
The seller has another Pixel 6 Pro listed for Rs. 104,000 ($1,393) however, it is not marked under the Amazon fulfilled program meaning that Amazon is not the one storing, packing, and dispatching the product which increases the chances of it being a fake product.
Considering all these factors, we would advise readers to steer clear of Pixel 6 Pros listed on Amazon as they could be a region-locked phone at best and a complete fake at worst.
