Let me make this perfectly clear here and now I proudly own a pixel 4a and still using it and loved every minute but I believe people of India needs to know somethings about pixel phone before they actually buys the device. So, Lets get into this
1. Price: Google Pixel phones are known for their high price points, which may
be considered excessive when compared to other smartphones available in the
Indian market. Even though the pixel ‘a’ series is considered as a budget
segment but still for some people they aren't really be considered as budget.
2. Limited availability: Google Pixel phones are not widely available in
India, making it difficult for some consumers to purchase them. Most of the
time the phone is not available on the online websites. And the availability in
offline market is very limited to very few stores.

3. No expandable storage: Google Pixel phones do not have a
microSD card slot for expandable storage, which may be a deal breaker for some
users. To be quite honest iPhones does the same thing and people don’t really
have a problem with it so I don’t think it is going to be a deal breaking point
but still for some obvious reasons if they put a SD card slot I love to have it.

4. Lack of support for Indian bands: Some Google Pixel models may not
support all of the Indian cellular bands, which could lead to connectivity issues
for some users. Well I don’t face any problem what so ever but I read some online
articles people do face some problems. But later, they fixed with the updates,
I think.
5. Limited after-sales service: Google may not have an extensive
after-sales service network in India, which could make it difficult for users
to get their phones repaired or serviced if they experience any issues. To be
honest when I first get to know about this it is quite sad as when anyone buy a
Google devices they must be expect the great after sales service similar to
apple which is quite popular in India. If a person need some after sales
support it can only be done via third party and the repair only be done in Mumbai
I think. So, if a person lives not in Mumbai, they need to send the device
through courier so basically it may take months or few weeks it quite depends
on but that is not what a person buys a device for or expect this kind of after
sales service.

To be honest these are only some points that I can think of there are
lot others as well like there is very limited to no customization. When I first
heard about android 13 update I though it will completely change the
customization for the phone but after the update only limited things I can see.
Conclusion
I can’t say these are the points applied to everyone but these are some points that change the decisions to most of the people look as a consumer I always look for these points. I’m extremely upset with the after sales service if I ever need the to be repaired but that is not happen yet and I want to keep it that way. And another thing I want to add is I love the google chat support like if you are facing any kind of trouble google application just go to the chat support and they’ll actually help you which seems nice for a company who don’t provide after sales service to its customer
