Can’t wait till the Google Pixel 6 hits our shores in early this year? You don’t have to — here’s where and how to get your hands on Google’s latest mobile release, for less, before everyone else!
So this is the first year that we’re expecting a Google flagship — according to tech guru Marques Brownlee. Prior to this, the previous Pixels had satisfactory parts but overall, lacklustre hardware. This time though, Google has made their own chip, given the handset a whole new look, plus amped up the phone in various ways. And that’s why we can’t wait to get our hands on the Google Pixel 6!

Unfortunately, according to sources, Google only made the model available for pre-ordering in late October in the UK, US and Australia — and began shipping the devices out on the 28th. The handset is set to reach Singapore’s shores and retail stores in early 2022.
If you’re impatient like we are, you’ll probably be looking to get the phone shipped from the US before the Singapore release date. We found several retailers that both offer to ship to Singapore, and others that do not. For those, we’ve estimated the vPost cost for you — here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use vPost.
