Google has reportedly tied up with HTC and Redington for the sales and aftersales support of its new Pixel smartphones. The Economic Times reports that HTC will offer after sales for the devices in 30 cities in the country. Further, Redington would be the national distributor for Pixel phones in India. “We have partnered with HTC India for after sales service in 56 walk-in service centres in over 30 cities,” a Google spokesperson told the publication. “Redington India is our national distributor for all channels in India.” The spokesperson added that a toll free customer care number will handle customer queries.
The report notes that through the partnership, Google’s smartphones would be available at over 1,000 retail stores. It also adds that the devices would be imported to India and sold through major retail outlets like Vijay Sales, Croma, Reliance Digital and more.
