There’s been no official word since they announced the phones on October 4th on when we’ll be able to buy a Pixel 2 (or Pixel 2 XL) in Australia but it’s now official: October 31st is the day.
We’ve had unofficial confirmation through leaks from both Telstra (the exclusive carrier partner) and JB Hifi, but it’s always nice to have it official and Google Australia has now confirmed the date through posts on their social media channels:

Telstra hasn’t announced pricing for their plans but are expected to when they begin taking pre-orders for the Pixel 2 this Friday (20th of October). Google has not spoken about pre-orders through the Google Store, nor pre-orders through retailers but have announced the outright pricing for the phones:
| Pixel 2 | Pixel 2 XL | |
|---|---|---|
| 64GB | $1,079 | $1,399 |
| 128GB | $1,229 | $1549 |
If you’re still not sure if the Pixel 2 is for you, you can check out our hands-on with the phones which include a bucket load of photo samples for you to check out.
Preorders are open now! Seems it was available from 12am AEDT. I checked at about 9:20PM WST and the BUY link was available. Here we go!
yes, realised the same! ordered from google, says nov 16 to 20 delivery. So 3-4 weeks for pixel 2 XL in black from Singapore
Don’t you guys have a contact at Google PR? Why can’t you ask them what the preorder situation is? If they won’t tell you then publish that they won’t tell you.
Still waiting for the date for pre-order or just order straightaway.
