Leaks suggest that the Pixel 8 prices in Europe would be as follows (23% VAT included):

Pixel 8 - 128GB: €874.25;
Pixel 8 - 256GB: €949.30;
Pixel 8 Pro - 128GB: €1,235.72;
Pixel 8 Pro - 256GB: €1,309.95;
Pixel 8 Pro - 512GB: €1,461.24.

A really fat price hike if it's true. Would you still go for a Pixel 8/8 Pro at these prices?

I personally see the Pixel 7 line becoming even more attractive as right now in Europe you can find a Pixel 7a for €479 (Amazon promo), a Pixel 7 for €533 (offers on Amazon, otherwise €649 on Google Store) and a Pixel 7 Pro for €789 (another Amazon promo).

I'm not paying that, that's definitely the end of me getting pixel devices.

Honestly the Pixel 7 line looks really good here, especially with the possible upcoming discounts on Google's 25th anniversary if you live in Europe (see my other post). You might get one year less of guaranteed updates if you pick a Pixel 7 instead of a Pixel 8 but I guess paying almost double the price for just one year more of updates is kinda hard to justify.

You could also install a rom like LineageOS to get updates after google drops support
