Google Drops the First-Gen Pixel from Its Online Store

Apr 10, 2018, 6:25 PM by Eric M. Zeman

Google has ceased selling the original Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones on its web site. The phones were available as recently as last month, but have since been removed. Now, people shopping for phones via Google's online device store will only find the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. The Pixel and Pixel XL were first released in the fall of 2016 and are at the end of their retail life. The phones are still available from some third-party sellers, such as Amazon, Best Buy, and Verizon Wireless. The phones will continue to receive support from Google through October 2019.
