The Really Blue variant of the Pixel smartphone recently received a restock on the Google Store, albeit with only the 32 GB model available.
Customers who were looking forward to purchase the Pixel XL, however, were disappointed by the fact that the larger version of the smartphone was not restocked. It seems that Google does not want to let these customers down for long though, as stocks for the Pixel XL have now also been refilled on the Google Store.
Pixel XL Restock On The Google Store
Google has now made the Pixel XL available again in the United States through the Google Store, with the 5.5-inch smartphone available in the three color variants of black, blue and silver.
However, similar to the restock for the Pixel, only stocks for the 32 GB model for the Pixel XL have been replenished, with no indication on when the 128 GB model of the smartphone will be offered again on the Google Store.
According to Google, the blue version of the 32 GB Pixel XL will ship in two to three weeks, while the black and silver versions of the smartphone will ship in four to five weeks. For customers who will place their orders for the Pixel XL today, expect the device to arrive after Christmas, at the very least.
There is a chance that Google will ship the orders earlier than expected, but if you are thinking about giving the Pixel XL as a gift for the holidays, it looks like you will have to explain to the gift's recipient that he or she will have to open his or her present well after Christmas.
Google Pixel, Pixel XL Popularity
Analysts from financial services company Morgan Stanley estimate that Google will earn almost $4 billion next year from sales of the Pixel and Pixel XL, as about 5 million to 6 million units of the smartphones are expected to be purchased in 2017. The figure is in addition to the 3 million Pixel and Pixel XL handsets expected to be sold in this year's fourth quarter, which translates to revenue of $2 billion.
The popularity of the Pixel and Pixel XL, despite several issues being associated with the smartphones, was not expected by Google, leading to the shortage in supply for the smartphones. For customers who were thinking of grabbing a Pixel XL, you might want to head over to the Google Store now and order one before stocks once again run out.
