India’s Firstpost is reporting that Google is considering shifting production of Pixel devices from Vietnam to India after footage of the Google Pixel 8 Pro was leaked from a Vietnamese factory. A handful of other outlets have also jumped on this story, however, its origins are somewhat shady. The source, referenced in Android Headlines, is the Twitter account @chunvn888 which literally goes by the moniker ‘No Name’. As such, it’s unclear what authority, if any, there is behind this claim.
The original tweet…
Bad news: because a huge waves of Pixel leaks from Vietnam over the past 3-4 years, especially this year, Google is considering switching the manufacturer line from Vietnam to India.
