Where is the google pixel made?
Google designs the latest Pixel and has the phone manufactured in China. When these phones are shipped into the U. S, Google is forced to pay the import tax. The company could decide to eat the additional cost itself or pass the increase on to consumers in the form of higher prices.

Could the next Google Pixel be “made in Vietnam”?
