The last time I played with a Google Pixel phone was three years ago, with the Google Pixel 3a XL. It has since End of Line (EOL), with the last supported operating system (OS) being Android 12, which was released in 2021. The previous (and last) security patch for Pixel 3a XL was released in September 2022.

Now back to Google Pixel 7 Pro. Google Pixel 7 Pro was officially announced during Made by Google event on 7th October 2022 and was released in Singapore on 14th October 2022. There are three colors available for Pixel 7 Pro, Hazel, Snow, and Obsidian. Snow and Hazel are only available for 128GB, whereas Obsidian is available for 128GB and 256GB.

The official Google Pixel 7 Pro Case retails for S$49.99 on Google Store Singapore. It is available in three colors, Chalk (White), Hazel, and Obsidian (Black).

Google Pixel 7 Pro Case is a polycarbonate Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) case with aluminum buttons. Weight-wise, the case alone weighs 38 g.

I always wanted the Google Nest Hub Max but it is expensive, retailing at US$229 (S$309) and excluding shipping charges to Singapore.

I chanced upon the Google Nest Hub Max on Project KR on Lazada having a flash sale, and after collecting all the Lazada vouchers for their 2/2 sales, I paid S$255.60, which I think is a reasonable price.

Bought the Google Nest Hub (2nd Generation) from a Lazada store named Project KR for S$99.99 during their flash sale on 9th September 2021. Shipping is free since I have collected the free shipping voucher. If not, it will be S$1.49.

For S$99.99, it is an excellent deal since, in the US, it is already selling for US$99.99, and you have not factored in shipping to Singapore yet.

Google Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL was launched in Singapore on 8th May 2019.

Pixel 3a retails for S$659 featuring a 5.6″ display while its larger sibling, the Pixel 3a XL, retails for S$779 featuring a 6″ display.

There is only one official case from Google for the Pixel 3a/3a XL. And that is the Pixel 3a/3a XL Fabric Case.

It is officially available in Singapore via Google Online Store (Singapore) and it retails for S$60 for either Pixel 3a Fabric Case or Pixel 3a XL Fabric Case.

Bought the Google Home Hub during Black Friday as Google is having US$50 off the retail price of US$149.

I did not get the Google Home Hub from Google US Store as the chances of my order going through is close to zero. Similar to the Google Home Mini that I got for Black Friday last year, I got it directly from B&H Photo Video. They have the same promotion as Google US Store.

Google US Store is making life difficult for many people outside of the US that are trying to get the Google Home Mini for US$29 (S$40).

As the original retail price was US$49 (S$66), the 40% discount makes it hard not to buy it for fun.

Finally, Google Pixel 2 XL will be available in Singapore from 15th November 2017. It is exclusive to Singtel. The smaller brother, Google Pixel 2, will not be available.
