Dixon Technologies set to manufacture Google Pixel 8 smartphones in India

Dixon Technologies, a local contract manufacturer, will produce Alphabet Inc’s high-end Google Pixel 8 smartphones in the country.

The company said the initial batch of India-made phones will be available in the market by September, as trial production has recently started, according to a report in the Economic Times (ET).

In October last year, Alphabet announced its decision to manufacture Google Pixel smartphones in India, marking the inclusion of the only major global smartphone brand that had not yet participated in the country’s smartphone manufacturing drive.
