Google’s Pixel 6 debuted and was seen as the company’s latest and greatest attempt to compete with Apple’s iPhone, but was hampered by online interruptions, preventing potential shoppers from purchasing the device.
Customers who tried to buy a mobile phone on Tuesday encountered difficulties immediately. The company’s website crashes, runs slowly, or provides incorrect information to many consumers. The problem lasted about five hours before it was fixed. “The Google Store was temporarily closed, but it is now restored. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you,” a Google spokesperson said in a statement. It is not clear whether the outage was due to stronger than expected demand or an unforeseen error.
The redesigned phone will be available on October 28th. Customers can still order equipment from the operator’s partner’s store. Google, a division of Alphabet Inc., has made major design changes to its Pixel product line using the latest models, adding custom processors and camera improvements.
The company is counting on Pixel 6 and the higher-end Pixel 6 Pro to make it play a greater role in mobile phones. Although Google’s Android software is the largest smartphone operating system, the company only occupies a small part of the market for the phone itself.
