From eWeek: Pixel and Pixel XL phones are taking longer to get to buyers than estimated earlier due to order numbers that exceeded expectations.
Since going on sale Oct. 20, Google's Pixel and Pixel XL Android smartphones are so popular that several versions are completely out of stock and others are apparently taking longer to get to buyers than previously estimated by Google.
All 5.5-inch Pixel XL handsets in Quite Black or Very Silver are out of stock in both 32GB and 128GB configurations, while the 5-inch Pixel models in certain configurations—32GB in Very Silver and 128GB models in Very Silver and Quite Black—are shipping in two to three weeks, according to the Google Store's ordering page. Other standard Pixel models are completely out of stock, including the Pixel 32GB Quite Black version and the 32GB Really Blue Limited Edition version.
"We're thrilled to see the excitement for our new Pixel phones, and frankly preorder demand has exceeded our expectations," a Google spokesman wrote via email in reply to an Oct. 27 eWEEK inquiry. "We're working to restock our inventory as soon as possible."
The 32GB 5-inch Pixel phones sell for $629, while the 128GB Pixel sells for $749. The larger 5.5-inch Pixel XL handsets sell for $769 for the 32GB models and for $869 for the 128GB versions.
